There are several rare and collectable coins from all over the world. If you are looking to get into collecting coins and you have a special interest in specifically American coins then there are plenty of options for you to choose from. You can find collectable American coins which range from the affordable and easy to find to those which are very expensive and much harder to find. Below are some examples of these types of coins which are the most popular to collect in a few different price and accessibility categories.
Affordable and Easy to Find Coins
Collecting American coins which are of interest to the collector and may not offer a high rate of return later is just as respected as those collections which have been assembled for the purpose of yielding high financial returns later. The idea is to collect coins which bring you enjoyment. If this is the type of collector you are then you may want to consider collecting American quarters and pennies. Over the year these coins have seen several different transformations and both have had recent makeovers. These coins are affordable and it is easier to find one which has been made over in the past hundred years than it is other coins which are rarer in nature.
Moderate Value Coins
If you are looking for American coins to collect which offer a bit more of a challenge to find yet are still very affordable then you may want taking a look at collecting Buffalo Nickels. These coins which were minted from 1913 to 1938 can be found in a wide variety of conditions these days. The coins feature an American Indian on the obverse and an American bison, or buffalo, on the reverse. There are two versions of this quintessential America coin called Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 has the words “Five Cents” in a mound on the reverse. Type 2 of the Buffalo coin has the world “Five Cents” more recessed on the reverse of the coin.
Expensive and Rare Coins
Some of the most expensive and rare American coins to collect today is the Morgan Silver dollar. These coins were minted from 1978 to 1921. The coins were not well received by the public when they were minted and put into circulation. At the time the coins were considered ugly and too large to be conveniently stored and used. Now these coins which are in excellent condition and minted during key years are worth thousands of dollars. There are several coin dealers which buy and sell these very valuable and much sought after coins. Recently some of these coins have entered the market from what is referred to as the “Rattler Hoard” from a vault in southern Utah. These Morgan dollars are of the highest grade and a very shiny white. In fact, they are almost mirror like appearance. Some of these pristine coins are valued at over $12,000 each.
