Type: Lincoln Cent (Wheat Reverse), Type 1, Wheat Reverse (1909-1958) Designer: Victor David Brenner Content: 95% Copper, 5% Tin and Zinc Weight: 3.11 grams Diameter: 19.00 millimeters Edge: Plain Mint: Philadelphia Production Strikes: 309,170,000 General Type Description: Wheat Reverse cents were produced at the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco mints. In general, cents from Philadelphia are well made; those from Denver and San Francisco are often poorly struck from worn dies. Key dates in the series include the aforementioned 1909-S VDB, 1914-D, and 1922 "Plain", plus the 1909-S and 1931-S. Interesting varieties include the 1917 and 1936 Doubled Die Obverse. (Source: Guth, Ron. PCGS CoinFacts) Specific Issue Description: The 1911 Lincoln cent is one of the more common early Lincolns in circulated grades, a product of the relatively large mintage of the Philadelphia issues compared to those of Denver and San Francisco. For example, in 1911, the mintage of the 1911 Philadelphia was 101,177,787, while the mintage for the 1911 Denver was 12,672,000 and the 1911 San Francisco was 4,026,000. In mint state, the 1911 is scarcer than the 1909 and 1910, and is about as scarce as the 1912. (Source: Hall, David. PCGS CoinFacts) Exemplar Notes: Acquired from David Lawrence Rare Coins, 6/2013

(Source: Guth, Ron. PCGS CoinFacts) Specific Issue Description: The 1911-D is an important semi-key date in the Lincoln cent series. Circulated examples are scarce. Mint state examples are very scarce and Full Red Gems are rare. This issue is extremely difficult to locate in grades above MS65RD. Many 1911-Ds are very poorly struck. Full Red examples usually have a deep red color. (Source: Hall, David. PCGS CoinFacts) Exemplar Notes: A conditionally scarce gem with crisply struck design motifs and the satiny, shimmering surfaces exhibiting fine mint-red toning and outstanding preservation.

(Source: Guth, Ron. PCGS CoinFacts) Specific Issue Description: The 1911-S is one of the better Lincolns in all grades. Among the early dates, in circulated grades only the 1909-S VDB, 1909-S and 1914-D are worth more than the 1911-S. The 1911-S is very scarce in mint state and rare in Gem Full Red condition. Interestingly, in Gem Full Red the 1911-S is a little more available than the S-mints that follow. Most 1911-S Lincolns are decently struck. The color on Full Red examples is a little more subdued than on the later issues. (Source: Hall, David. PCGS CoinFacts) Exemplar Notes: Acquired from Heritage Auctions, 6/2013
Type: Liberty Nickel, Type 2, with “CENTS” (1883-1913) Designer: Charles E. Barber Content: 75% Copper, 25% Nickel Weight: 5.00 grams Diameter: 21.20 millimeters Edge: Plain Mint: Philadelphia Production Strikes: 39,557,639 General Description: In 1883, the Liberty Nickel was introduced. The earliest versions were produced without the words “Five Cents” on the reverse. Enterprising individuals took advantage of this omission by gold-plating the coins, adding reeding to the edges, and passing the coins off as a new $5 Half Eagle. The Mint quickly remedied the situation by adding “FIVE CENTS” to the reverse of the coin later in 1883. Key dates in the “Liberty Nickel” series include the 1885, 1886, and 1912-S. A mere five 1913 Liberty Nickels are known, but these are believed to have been produced clandestinely at the Mint. Specific Issue Description: The 1911 Liberty Head Nickel has the largest mintage of any date in the series, and the largest Nickel mintage of the 1866-1916 time period. As a result, this date is available by the hundreds across the entire grade range from MS62 to MS66. At the top of the condition ladder is a pair of PCGS MS67s. The 1911 Nickel usually shows weakness on the stars on the upper obverse, but fully struck examples can also be found with a little bit of hunting. Because there are lots of coins to choose from, the collector is advised to wait for just the right piece. (Source: Hernandez, Jaime.

Type: Barber Dime Designer: Charles E. Barber Content: 90% Silver, 10% Copper Weight: 2.50 grams Diameter: 17.90 millimeters Edge: Reeded Mint: Philadelphia Production Strikes: 18,870,543 General Type Description: In 1892, the dime, quarter and half dollar denominations were redesigned. A Liberty Head motif common to all three denominations made its appearance the same year. Known as the Barber dime (named after the designer Charles E. Barber) the ten-cent denomination featured on the obverse Miss Liberty facing right, her hair in a Phrygian cap and wearing a laurel wreath, with the word LIBERTY in tiny letters in a band above her forehead. The inscription UNITED STATES OF AMERICA surrounds, and the date is below. The reverse is of the same design used earlier and features a large wreath enclosing ONE DIME. There was no room for the motto IN GOD WE TRUST on the coin, so it was omitted. It is not generally realized that the obverse design of the dime differs from that of the quarter and half dollar, in that the latter denominations have stars around the obverse periphery. While there are a number of scarcities and rarities in the 1892-1916 series, the exceedingly rare 1894-S dime being famous among them, there are enough common dates that the type set collector will encounter no difficulty acquiring an example in any desired grade from Good to AU. After the ultra-rare 1894-S, the scarce 1895-O will be the date collector’s biggest challenge. Uncirculated pieces are elusive, although hardly rare, while superb Uncirculated coins are more difficult to find. Proofs were minted each year from 1892 to 1915 for collectors, and these can be obtained with some searching. (Source: Bowers, W.

Type: Barber Quarter Designer: Charles E. Barber Content: 90% Silver, 10% Copper Weight: 6.00 grams Diameter: 24.30 millimeters Edge: Reeded Mint: Philadelphia Production Strikes: 3,720,000 General Type Description: Charles E. Barber’s Liberty Head motif, commonly referred to as the “Barber” style, was used on quarter dollars from 1892 through 1916. The obverse motif of Miss Liberty is similar to that found on the dime and half dollar and features her facing to the right, her hair in a Phrygian cap, wearing a laurel wreath with LIBERTY on a small band above her forehead. Six stars are to the left, and seven to the right, IN GOD WE TRUST is above and the date is below. The reverse is a adaptation of the Great Seal of the United States and depicts a heraldic eagle holding in its talons an olive branch and arrows, although the branch and arrows are transposed from the position used on the quarter (and other silver and gold coinage) nearly a century earlier. Above the eagle is a galaxy of 13 stars. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and QUARTER DOLLAR surround. For type set purposes, the numismatist will have no trouble finding coins from Good to Fine. Very Fine coins are scarce, and Extremely Fine pieces are quite scarce, at least in the context of more recent issues. AU and Uncirculated pieces are scarcer yet and superb Uncirculated coins are rare. The date collector will have their work cut out for them, as the 1901-S quarter is a major 20th century rarity. The 1896-S and 1913-S are also keys to this series, and costly in any grade. Proofs were produced in all years from 1892 to 1915 and are available in proportion to their original mintage, which typically varied between 500 and 900 pieces annually. (Source: Bowers, W.

Type: Barber Half Dollar Designer: Charles E. Barber Content: 90% Silver, 10% Copper Weight: 12.50 grams Diameter: 30.00 millimeters Edge: Reeded Mint: Philadelphia Production Strikes: 1,406,000 General Type Description: In 1892 the half dollar was redesigned to the so-called Barber type. Designer Charles E. Barber’s Miss Liberty now faces right, her hair is in a Phrygian cap, and a wreath of laurel encircles her head. The word LIBERTY appears on a small band or ribbon above her forehead. IN GOD WE TRUST is above, six stars are to the left, seven stars are to the right, and the date is below. The reverse is an adaptation of the Great Seal of the United States and features a heraldic eagle grasping an olive branch and arrows and holding in its beak a ribbon inscribed E PLURIBUS UNUM. A galaxy of stars is above. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and HALF DOLLAR surround. The same head of Miss Liberty appears on dimes and quarters of the era. Mintage was continuous at the Philadelphia and San Francisco Mints from 1892 through 1915, with additional pieces supplied from New Orleans through 1909 and from Denver beginning in 1906. Unlike the Barber Quarter series, which has some genuinely tough coins, there are no significant rarities in the Barber Half series, although the 1892-O, 1892-S, 1893-S, 1897-O. 1897-S, 1914 and 1915 will be tougher to locate. The type set collector will encounter no difficulty in acquiring specimens in grades of Good or Very Good. Fine pieces, believe it or not, are scarce. Very Fine coins are very scarce and Extremely Fine coins can be called rare in the context of modern issues. AU coins are rarer yet, Uncirculated pieces are still more rare, and superb Uncirculated pieces are very rare. Proofs exist in proportion to their original mintages, which like the quarters, typically ran in the neighborhood of 500 to 900 pieces per year. One of the reason for the scarcity of high grade circulated pieces, is once the coins entered circulation, they tended to remain there many years, and the few XFs and AUs that remained, were often “enhanced” in the 1960s and 1970s and sold as Uncs. (Source: Bowers, W. David. “United States Coins by Design Types - An Action Guide for the Collector and Investor”) Specific Issue Description: This is not a rare issue at all, but rather a fairly common one in all mint state grades, including Gem condition, something that cannot be said for very many Barber Half Dollar issues.

(Source: Bowers, W. David. “United States Coins by Design Types - An Action Guide for the Collector and Investor”) Specific Issue Description: Despite the low mintage of only 695,080 pieces, the 1911-D is fairly obtainable in all grades up to Very Choice Uncirculated. Even Gems are only moderately rare, but most of them are somewhat lackluster and not particularly attractive… (Source: Akers, David. PCGS CoinFacts) Exemplar Notes: A stunning coin with a lot of character. Some toning spots are present, however, this does not take away from the fact that the coin's luster allows it to glisten in the light. Acquired 7/2013 from Holsonbake Numismatics.

(Source: Bowers, W. David. “United States Coins by Design Types - An Action Guide for the Collector and Investor”) Specific Issue Description: This is a very scarce and underrated issue in all mint state grades, and a rare one in Gem. It is significantly more rare in Gem condition than the 1910-S, and it is actually very nearly in the same rarity class as the 1906-1908 San Francisco Mint issues. (Source: Akers, David. PCGS CoinFacts) Exemplar Notes: Sharply detailed in most areas, this attractive Choice example displays a touch of softness on the eagle's leg and claw. Vibrant satiny mint luster radiates from both sides and the creamy surfaces show only a few minor contact marks. Acquired 7/2013 via Heritage Auctions.
