Most Budgets Can Afford Circulated Gold $1
|
The Morgan dollar is 1.5 inches in diameter, or 38.1mm. The $1 gold piece is either 13mm or 15mm, depending on type.
Don't let their small size fool you, though. The $1 gold coins of the United States had a big impact. Their fascinating story makes them a great collection although with assorted scarce dates they are a difficult collection and one that is virtually impossible in top grades. Even with the difficulty, you can have years of fun assembling a set and learning about what were truly historic issues. |

1999-W 1/10th Eagle $5.00 Gold Matte Finish Error or Variety?
|
|
Some time ago a fellow sent in an error-variety coin with some very interesting questions. He said: “I have a 1999-W $5.00 Gold 1/10th Eagle that was struck by the Mint with an Uncirculated Matte Finish instead of the intended Proof finish for the West Point issue.

Change Comes to Gold Coinage 1834-1837
|
As collectors we look on the early gold coinage and perhaps wonder what people who lived in the 1790s and early 1800s thought of such coins. The truth is that they had very little opinion on this subject as U.S. gold did not circulate all that much. Those who did use gold normally had access to Spanish coins such as the 8 escudos (doubloon), which was worth $16 in American money.

|
Is the age of collecting by date or variety over? Have coins become so expensive and collecting so complex that it is inevitable that new collectors will focus solely on type coins? As a dealer who sells rare gold coins to both highly specialized date collectors and to sophisticated type collectors I think numismatics is definitely going through a change but that collecting by date remains (and will continue to be) very popular with a certain type of individual.
