America's Classic Coins

Descripción

Product description The Indian Head Penny, minted from 1859-1909, features Lady Liberty in a Native American headdress. Designed by James Longacre, it transitioned from copper-nickel to bronze in 1864. A staple of 19th-century America, it remains a prized collectible, with rare dates like 1877 and 1909-S highly sought after. The Buffalo Nickel, struck from 1913-1938, features a Native American profile on the obverse and a majestic buffalo on the reverse. Designed by James Earle Fraser, it symbolizes America's frontier spirit. Its short mintage and key dates, like the 1913-S Type 2 and 1937-D 3-Legged variety, make it a collector favorite. The Liberty Head Nickel, minted from 1883-1913, showcases Lady Liberty on the obverse and a Roman numeral "V" on the reverse. Designed by Charles Barber, its 1883 "No Cents" version led to counterfeiting. The 1913 issue is among the rarest U.S. coins. Collectors value its classic design and rich history.

Características

• Collectors are always in search of classic coins that evoke the good old days and this collection includes three famous and hard-to-find coins from by-gone eras: the Indian Head Penny, Liberty V Nickel, and Buffalo Nickel.
• These three coins have been out of circulation for generations, making them exceptionally scarce and adding to their tremendous collector value. In addition to their beauty and classic designs, these coins are symbols of Americas Western expansion and our fascination with the Wild West and the wild frontier lands.
• The Indian Head Penny was minted from 1859-1909. It depicts an Indian princess in a war bonnet and was one of the first U.S. coins to feature a Native American. According to legend, designer James B. Longacre actually used a portrait of his daughter, Sarah, wearing an Indian headdress. All coins are now over 100 years old
• The Liberty Head Nickel is also known as the V Nickel because of the V (Roman 5) on the reverse. It was first minted in 1883 and was one of the most popular coins of the late 19th century. When the first coins were minted, they did not include the word Cents. They are about the same size as a $5 gold coin, so con-men gold-plated the Nickels and used them as $5 gold coins! The annual mintage was only about 2% of a modern Nickels production.
• The Buffalo Nickel was struck from 1913 to 1938. It was a celebration of the vanishing American West. Designed by sculptor James Earle Fraser, it was minted only from 1913-1938. The front of the coin depicts a composite portrait of three chiefs: Iron Tail (a Sioux who fought against Custer at Little Bighorn and who was a star in Buffalo Bills Wild West Show), Two Moons (a Cheyenne who also fought at Little Bighorn), and John Big Tree (a Seneca).
