Modern Commemorative - Silver - 2004-P MS63 Main Image

You`ll want to own this limited-mintage tribute to our most prolific inventor.  Order yours today!

    <p>While circulating coins are issued for use in daily commerce, U.S. commemorative coins honor anniversaries, special occasions, historical figures, important events and more. Official commemorative coins have legal tender status but are rarely used in circulation since they are typically issued at a premium, with intrinsic and numismatic values significantly greater than their face values. </p>

      <p>You'll find a wide selection of United States commemorative coins for sale at Littleton, from classic issues to the latest modern releases. With their historic subjects and eye-catching designs, these special coins make perfect gifts or additions to any collection!</p>
      <h2>The Classic Era of U.S. Commemoratives</h2>
      <p>The "classic era" of U.S. commemoratives began in 1892-1893, when limited-issue 90% silver half dollars and quarters were struck with special designs for the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. The Exposition honored 400 years of progress since the discovery of the New World by Christopher Columbus in 1492.</p>
      <p>The silver commemorative coins proved wildly popular. So a wide variety of U.S. commemorative coins followed – honoring other major expositions and centennials of states and cities. As well as anniversaries of the Revolutionary War, Civil War and other significant dates and events. But over time public interest waned, and in 1954 the Treasury ceased production of commemoratives. It would be more than 25 years before the next U.S. commemorative coins would be struck.</p>
      <h2>The Modern Era of U.S. Commemoratives</h2>
      <p>As the years went by, the collecting community missed the special designs of commemorative coinage. Special reverse designs on circulating quarters, half dollars and dollars for the nation's Bicentennial proved popular, and numerous appeals were made to congressmen to resume commemorative coin production. Finally, the U.S. Mint kicked off the "modern era" of commemoratives in 1982 with limited-issue 90% silver half dollars honoring the 250th anniversary of George Washington's birth. Many U.S. commemoratives have followed, honoring a wide variety of anniversaries, occasions, individuals, groups and events.</p>
      <h2>Ways to Collect American Commemorative Coins</h2>
      <p>Over the years, the U.S. Mint has issued Uncirculated and Proof silver commemorative coins, as well as commemoratives in gold and clad compositions. And with a vast array of designs and subjects, they offer coin enthusiasts many collecting options. Some collectors concentrate on either classic or modern U.S. commemorative coins, while others limit their collections to gold or silver commemorative coins. Still other collectors opt to collect their favorite designs, themes or issues honoring a particular event or period in history.
