Why I Like price of pre 1965 silver dollars

Collectors Article Of The Week



More Numismatists Info

A banknote collection makes a powerful conversation piece which rarely fails to arouse interest and admiration. Even an inexpensive collection makes a fabulous display of some of exquisite pieces of printing and graphic design. An exceptional amount of work and skill goes into the design of banknotes by artists and engravers of outstanding skill and talent. The design and manufacturing process is a field of study in itself - but many of the methods used are shrouded in secrecy to make forgery difficult. Nevertheless, forgeries do occur and these are often worth more than the genuine article to collectors!
Buy silver dollars for a great investment.

To date, only four "real" women have been featured on circulating U.S. notes and coins, all others have been fictionalized representations of "Liberty." Susan B. Anthony and Sacagawea have been honored on coins. A portrait of Martha Washington graced the series 1886 and 1891 $1.00 Silver Certificates. The first, First Lady was also featured, along with her husband George, on the series 1896 $1 Silver Certificate. This bill is part of a group of notes that are often referred to as the "Educational Series." These early, large size notes display beautiful engravings and are highly sought after by collectors.

I personally have mixed emotions about prooflike gold coins. Due to the fact that gold is a soft metal, the surfaces tend to easily pick up marks, nicks and scratches and these tend to be strongly amplified by deep, reflective fields. Unless a Prooflike gold coin is a Gem, it tends to have a scruffy appearance and may have compromised eye appeal as a result.
Buy US paper money.

The famous American Buffalo gold coin now has the first 24-Karat solid gold bullion coin from the United States Mint. With gold prices consistently increasing over the last 5 years, gold is certainly a brilliant investment. Now it shines even brighter. With the introduction of the new American Buffalo 24-karat gold coin, investors now have access to gold bullion coins that each contain one troy ounce of the purest gold available in any bullion coin on the market. These incredible coins manufactured at West Point by the U.S. Mint can be purchased here at GoldCoinsGain.com
