Numismatics and General Collecting

Q. What does MS-60 mean? A. Mint State 60 or Uncirculated. MS-60 coins exhibit no trace of wear from circulation, but may have contact marks that occurred during the manufacturing, handling and storage by the U.S. Mint, and may lack some mint luster.
Q. What is toning? A. Silver coins will sometimes change color due to their reaction to certain atmospheric and other environmental conditions. These color changes are natural, and are referred to as toning.
Q. What does the term "BU" mean? A. The term Brilliant Uncirculated is not a coin grade, but rather a term to describe an Uncirculated coin as bright as when it was minted, or with only very light natural toning.
Q. What is a coin's obverse? A. The obverse is the "front side" (or "heads") of the coin, generally with the date and main design.
Q. What is a coin's reverse? A. The reverse is the back or "tails" side of the coin.
Q. What does E Pluribus Unum stand for? A. Out of many, one.
Q. What are "clad" coins? A. Issued to replace traditional 90% silver coinage, clad refers to those dimes, quarters, half dollars and dollars manufactured since 1965 from a "sandwiched" material made with a copper and nickel composition. In the case of the 1965-1970 Kennedy half dollars, the clad "sandwiched" material was made up of silver and copper. Starting in 1971, the Kennedy half was minted in the same copper and nickel clad material as the dimes, quarters and dollars.
Q. What is a "clad" Proof Set? A. A Proof Set in which the dime, quarter, half dollar and dollar are made from a clad material rather than 90% silver.
Q. What is a "Key Date"? A. A key date is a coin whose date and mint mark are extremely scarce and therefore much sought after by collectors. The coin's scarcity may be due to a low original mintage, or in the case of silver coins, because over the years many of them were melted down for their silver content.
Q. What is an Error coin? A. Error coins are coins with manufacturing flaws, defects or mistakes.
Q. What is a Star Note? A. When a note is found to be imperfect in the course of manufacture, it is replaced with a "Star Note," a note bearing a star either before or after the serial number.
Q. What is the difference between the Type 1 and Type 2 "S" Mint coins? A. Type 1 represents the "Filled S" where the S mint mark appears to be filled in. Type 2 is the "Clear S" mint mark, a distinguishable S. These are found in the 1979 and 1981 issues.
Q. What does the "W" mint mark stand for? A. The West Point Mint in New York.
Q. What is the difference between Proof and Uncirculated coins? A. The method of manufacturing. Proof coins are specially made for collectors, distinguished by sharpness of detail, usually a
mirrorlike surface, and frosted design elements. Uncirculated coins are those coins produced for general use but not yet put into circulation. They show no signs of wear; however, they may show "bag marks" or contact marks, and may lack some luster.
Q. How do I tell the difference between the copper and zinc 1982 Lincoln Cents? A. The copper coins weigh slightly more than the zinc. The easiest way to tell them apart is with a small scale.
Q. What does "reprocessed" mean on Reprocessed Steel Cents? A. Reprocessing involves stripping off the old zinc, removing any rust from the surface of the coins, and recoating them in zinc, giving them a shiny finish.
Q. Where is the "doubling" located on the 1995 Doubled Die Lincoln Cent? A. The doubling is most prevalent in the motto and the word LIBERTY. You may need a magnifier to see it clearly.
Q. What are some of the different grades of coins that a collector would come across in the hobby? A. Grading, or condition, is a measurement of a coin's state of preservation (or quality). In most cases, the higher a coin's grade, the more scarce it is, since the majority of coins find their way into extensive circulation. And the higher a coin's quality, the greater its value – since the original design and appearance are more fully present. Hobbyists collect coins in a variety of grades, based upon their preference and budget. Of course, coins in various grades command different prices, depending upon the series, scarcity and demand. See our Grading Guide on this site.
Q. My Uncirculated coins have scratches on them. Why? A. Coins graded MS-60 and better will have contact or "bag" marks, which are minor abrasions from contact with other coins during the minting process and during handling and storage in U.S. Mint sealed bags.
Q. What do Near Date and Far Date mean for 1979 Susan B. Anthony Dollars? A. In the Near Date, the coin's date appears closer to the rim when compared to the Far Date or, normal variety. This difference was created when the obverse design's border was made wider, making the date appear closer to the rim.
Q. What should I use to clean my coins? A. Cleaning is not recommended. Cleaning can permanently damage a coin's surface, thereby reducing and possibly totally destroying its numismatic value. An expert can easily spot a cleaned coin, and will usually stay clear of it.
Q. What is the proper way to handle a coin while examining it? A. Collectible coins should always be held by their edges between thumb and forefinger. This will protect the surfaces and design elements of the coins from the natural salts, acids and oils in fingers or palms which can be corrosive to coins over time. In fact, many experienced collectors prefer to use soft cotton gloves when handling their coins. Holding your coin over a soft surface, such as a clean, dry towel, is also a good idea. The soft surface is less likely to damage a dropped coin than a hard table or desk top.
Q. What is the difference between the early 1982 copper cent and the current copper-zinc cent? A. There is a difference in weight and composition. In 1982, due to the rising cost of copper, the composition of the U.S. cent was changed, and during that year, two different cents were struck. The early 1982 copper cent weighed 3.11 grams with a metal content of 95% copper and 5% zinc. The current copper-zinc cent, first struck in the latter part of 1982, weighs 2.5 grams and is 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper.
Q. How can I get coins struck at the Philadelphia, Denver, West Point and San Francisco Mints? A. All coins display the mint mark of the facility where they are made, with the exception of the cent struck at Philadelphia (no mint mark). You can get coins produced at the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco Mints in annual Proof Sets and Uncirculated Mint Sets from Littleton. We also carry some gold and silver commemoratives as well as clad commemoratives. In addition, you can order gold and silver American Eagle Proofs from the West Point Mint. The regular-issue coinage – cents, nickels, dimes, quarters and half dollars – from Denver and Philadelphia, in Circulated and Uncirculated condition, is also available.
Q. My Lincoln Cent does not have a mint mark. Is this an error? A. No, this is not an error. U.S. cents struck in Philadelphia do not display the "P" mint mark. Prior to 1979, when the "P" mint mark was added to the Anthony dollar, coins struck at Philadelphia did not have a mint mark, except for Jefferson nickels produced there from 1942-1945. Starting in 1980, all coins produced by the Philadelphia Mint carry the "P" mint mark – except for the cent.
Q. Can you tell me why IN GOD WE TRUST is inscribed on coins? A. During the Civil War, Rev. Mark Watkinson suggested recognizing God on U.S. coinage and proposed various mottoes. Through time, the motto IN GOD WE TRUST evolved, and was first used in 1864 on the two-cent piece. Legislation approved July 11, 1955 made the inscription of IN GOD WE TRUST mandatory on all coins and paper currency of the United States. Legislation approved July 30, 1956 made IN GOD WE TRUST the national motto of the United States.
Q. What was the first coin to bear the motto IN GOD WE TRUST? A. The two-cent piece minted from 1864-1873, was the first U.S. coin to bear the motto IN GOD WE TRUST. With the Act of March 3, 1865, it became law for the motto to appear on U.S. coins that had room for it. It was used on the double eagle, half eagle, dollar, half dollar and quarter beginning in 1866. In 1955, legislation made the inscription IN GOD WE TRUST mandatory on all coins and paper money.
Q. What mottoes regularly appear on U.S. coins? A. The United States has two mottoes that appear on circulating coins: IN GOD WE TRUST on most coins since the Civil War and now on all, and E PLURIBUS UNUM since nearly the beginning of national coinage. E PLURIBUS UNUM means "Out of Many, One."
Q. Were 1975-dated quarters produced? A. No 1975-dated quarters were minted. To celebrate the nation's 200th anniversary, dual-dated (1776-1976) Bicentennial quarters were struck for general circulation during both 1975 and 1976.
Q. When was the last silver dollar intended for circulation minted? A. On August 3, 1964, President Lyndon Johnson signed legislation to strike silver dollars, but no coins were struck that calendar year. Between May and July 1965, over 300,000 silver dollars of the Peace design were struck at Denver. Because of a continued coin shortage and the July Coinage Act placing a 5-year moratorium on standard silver dollars, these newly minted 1964-dated Peace dollars were never released and ordered destroyed. So the Denver Mint produced the last silver dollars intended for circulation in 1965. The last to circulate were the 1935 Peace dollars
Q. Why did the 1943 cent content change to zinc-coated steel? A. As an emergency measure in World War II, all 1943 U.S. cents were struck in zinc-coated steel instead of copper, saving millions of pounds of copper for wartime use. These popular "silver-colored" cents were struck for only one year.
Q. How many 1943 zinc-coated Steel Cents were minted? A. For one year only in 1943, the U.S. Mint struck a total of 1,093,838,670 Steel cents. Of those, 684,628,670 were minted in Philadelphia (no mint mark), 217,660,000 were minted in Denver with the "D" mint mark, and 191,550,000 were minted in San Francisco with the "S" mint mark.
Q. What president's portrait appeared on a coin during his lifetime? A. In 1926, Calvin Coolidge became the first U.S. president whose portrait appeared on a coin struck during his lifetime. His likeness appears with that of George Washington on the obverse of the Sesquicentennial of American Independence Half Dollar.
Q. What denominations did original gold coins include? A. The original gold coins struck by the U.S. Mint were the $5 half eagle, $10 eagle, and in 1796 the $2.50 quarter eagle was added. With the gold rush, other denominations were struck. They included the $20 double eagle, $4 Stella, and $3 and $1 gold pieces.
Q. How many women are depicted on U.S. circulating coins? A. Interestingly, only two women, Sacagawea and Susan B. Anthony, are honored on circulating coins and both are dollar coins. Susan B. Anthony Dollars are dated 1979, 1980, 1981 (in Mint Sets only) and 1999. Sacagawea appears on the "golden" dollar struck since 2000, available only to collectors from 2002-2008, and returning to circulation in 2009.
Q. How many women have been portrayed on U.S. Commemorative coins? A. Four other women have been portrayed on special one-year-only U.S. Commemorative coins: Queen Isabella in 1893, Virginia Dare in 1937, Eunice Shriver in 1995, and Dolley Madison in 1999.
Q. Why do some coins have grooves on the edges? And why are they there? A. A long time ago, before the advent of milled coinage, some people would file (clip) the edges of the coins to get precious metals. In the U.S., the dollar, half dollar, quarter, and dime denominations were originally produced from precious metals (gold and silver). Coinage was struck with grooved or "reeded" edges to deter the practice, and also make counterfeiting more difficult. Because the U.S. cent and nickel never contained precious metals, they did not have grooved edges. Today, none of the coins produced for circulation contain precious metals. However, the use of reeded edges continues on the larger denominations (except the Sacagawea Dollar) because it helps the visually impaired identify the coins.
Q. What are the numbers of reeds on circulating U.S. coins? A.
Denomination Number of Reeds
One Cent 0
Five Cent 0
Dime 118
Quarter 119
Half Dollar 150
Dollar (38.1mm diameter) 189
Susan B. Anthony Dollar 133
Sacagawea Dollar 0
Highest number of reeds:
Silver American Eagle 1 oz. 		201
Lowest number of reeds:
$1 Gold Piece (13mm diameter) 		81

Q. What should I know about Washington Dollar Error coins? A. Most Washington Dollar Errors involve missing edge inscriptions, but other Error types are out there. Several coins have been reported with doubled edge lettering. And one lucky collector even reported finding a blank dollar planchet – complete with edge lettering!

Many of these Error coins appear to be genuine. However, some coins being sold as errors – especially through online auction sites – are, in fact, normal coins. And others have been deliberately faked. Here are some facts you should know about the series...
  1.  Date and Mint Mark – You'll find the date and mint mark on the edge of the coin, along with the inscriptions E PLURIBUS UNUM and IN GOD WE TRUST.
  2.  Edge Inscriptions (Proof) – Due to their special minting process, Proof coins should have edge lettering that appears "right side up" when the coin is showing its obverse. Also, placement of the inscriptions should be the same for all Proof coins.
  3.  Edge Inscriptions (Uncirculated/Circulated) – All non-Proof Presidential Dollars have edge lettering that is randomly placed. It may face either obverse or reverse. And while the date may appear above the portrait on one coin, it might be found at an entirely different point along the edge of another coin.
  4.  Size and Weight – Each Presidential Dollar should measure 26.5 mm in diameter and weigh 8.1 grams (125 grains). If you encounter a Presidential Dollar coin without edge inscriptions, it should still have a diameter of at least 26 mm and weigh at least 8 grams (123 grains). If it doesn't, the coin may have been intentionally trimmed to remove the lettering.

Remember, your best protection from fraudulent sellers is to only buy from professional dealers with a proven reputation for uncompromised quality. If you don't know the dealer, be cautious of any Error (or other high-value) coin that hasn't been certified by a nationally recognized authentication service.

Q. My quarter folder has spots for "Washington quarter 1932-1998" and "50-state commemorative quarter 1999-2008 obverse"... What coins am I supposed to put there? A. The Washington quarter is a quarter minted from 1932-1998.
The 50-state commemorative quarter is dated from 1999 or later.
Obverse means the front side showing the changes in the Washington design.
These slots are to show the front of each quarter to compare the changes made to the coin. The other slots in the folder will display the reverse side with the state design.
Q. When will the new D.C. & U.S. Territories quarters be available? A. The U.S. Mint will release 6 new quarters in 2009, commemorating the District of Columbia and the five U.S. Territories on the reverse. They will be released at intervals in the following order: District of Columbia, Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, U.S. Virgin Islands and Northern Mariana Islands.
