Eisenhower DollarThe Eisenhower Dollar is a $1 coin that was produced between 1971 and 1978.  Obviously named after the 34th President of the United States, Dwight Eisenhower who died in 1969.  Designed by frank Gasparro, this copper-nickel coin was the first U.S coin that was not made of a precious metal like silver or gold.  The coin does contain .3164 troy ounces of silver.  Because many kept the coins as a memory to President Eisenhower, not many coins ended up in circulation.

The Eisenhower dollar was struck at 3 U.S Mint locations including: Philadelphia, Denver and San Francisco.  Mintages for the Eisenhower dollar were quite high, ranging from 3.5 million to 115 million produced each year.  Even though they were produced from 1971 to 1978, no coins were made dated 1975.

1921 Peace Dollar

Beginning in 1921 the U.S. Mint produced the Peace Dollar which was a 0.77344 troy ounce silver dollar coin which would be the successor to the Morgan Silver Dollar.  The Peace dollar was produced from 1921 to 1928 and then again in 1934 & 1935.  They were also briefly made in 1965 as 1964 coins, but were melted down and never released to the public.  The Peace Dollar was the last silver dollar to be issued by the U.S. Mint and placed in circulation.1921 silver dollar

Peace Dollars get their name because they was a silver dollar that was to be produced to mark the end of World War I.  Interestingly enough, after the making of the 1904 Morgan Dollar, no other silver dollars were produced for circulation until the Peace dollar came along in 1921.  At the time, George Morgan was the chief designer at the U.S. Mint and the earlier Morgan dollar was named after George.  When the Peace dollar was being designed it was decided to hold a competition for the design of the new Peace Dollar, which was won by a sculpter by the name of Anthony de Francisci.

After the first year of production there were a few changes made to the Peace Dollar.  The orginal design was hard to strike and the dies were being broken at a high rate.  It was decided for the 1922 Peace Dollar that they would lower the relief.  This would make the coins easier to stack and hopefully help with the issue of the breaking dies.

At the end of 1921 production of the Peace Dollar, over 1 million coins had been minted all at the Philadelphia Mint.

1952 Canadian Silver Dollar

1952 Canadian Silver DollarThe 1952 Canadian Silver Dollar is an interesting collectible.  Many coins have histories that make them unique for one reason or another and the1952 Canadian Silver Dollar is no exception.  In 1951, the Royal Canadian Mint experienced a manufacturing problem which caused the water lines at the edge of the canoe to rub off during the polishing process.  These coins are referred to as the "Arnprior" coins.  This resulted in coins that had faint water lines or no water lines at all.

After the manufacturing flaws, the Royal Canadian Mint, in 1952,  released coins that did not have water lines at all since the problem could not be easiliy resolved.

1895 Morgan Silver Dollar

Of all Morgan Silver Dollars ever produced, the 1895 Morgan Silver Dollar stands out as one of the most sought after of all silver dollars.  Designed and named after George Morgan, Morgan Silver Dollars were a very common coin and millions had been created between the late 1800's and the early 1900's.

The 1895 Morgan Silver Dollar has a somewhat interesting history. The U.S Mint records indicate that there were 12,000 1895 Morgan Silver Dollars created for circulation, but what makes them so rare is that there are only 880 accounted for.  So where did the other 11,120 coins go?

Some speculate that the records are wrong and they were never produced while others think that someone is holding a large secret stash somewhere.  It is quite possible that many are sitting in the basement of an old house or attic.  Many stories have been told about someone passing away and their families finding thousands of coins or other valuables stashed away somewhere.

Now, for someone to have stashed away 11,120 Silver Dollars is not likely feasible.  With their face value alone costing $11,120, that would be much like a person today stashing away $500,00 (give or take a few $) in $1 bills!

The Seated Liberty Silver dollar was a US silver coin that was produced by the United States Mint from 1840 to 1873 and contains 0.77344 troy ounces of silver. The Seated Liberty Silver dollars were created in high quantities during that period of time and used as everyday currency up until 1853 when the value of the coin exceeded its face value. In 1870 the were circulated once again because the silver price went down and the coins were no longer worth more than their face value.

Of all the Seated Liberty Silver dollars that were produced, there remains one that is by far the most valuable; the 1870-S Seated Liberty Silver Dollar. The most sought after or rare of the Seated Liberty Silver Dollars is the 1851-O of which very little is known about its origin. It is so rare that none are known to be for sale publicly or privately. A few other dates such as the 1871, 1872 and 1873 Seated Liberty Silver Dollars produced in Carson City are also quite rare and valuable as between 50 and 500 of each is known to be existence anywhere in the world.
