			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Capped Bust Quarter was minted from 1815 to 1838.  Two designs were used during this mint period.  The first, minted from 1815 to 1828 was designed by John Reich.  It was a large size coin featuring a fulsome Lady Liberty.  This portrayal of Lady Liberty led to allegations that Reich was modeling the coin after one of his mistresses.  The obverse also features 13 stars around the edge and the mint year centered at the base.  The reverse of the coin features a bald eagle with a union shield across its breast, clutching arrows and an olive branch.  UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is adorned across the top, with E Pluribus Unum slightly below.  The coins denomination (25c) centered at the base.</p>
<p>The second design, from 1831 to 1838, was modified by William Kneass from John Reich's original design.  This design does not feature the E Pluribus Unum motto on the reverse.  The coin is also smaller than the original due to advanced in die manufacturing.  Lady Liberty is also thinner on the obverse and more elegant in appearance.  </p>
<p>All coins were minted in Philadelphia, so there is no mint mark present on either version.  Prices for pristine versions of the Capped Bust Quarter are quite high.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The 1943 Steel Cent was minted for a one year period during World War II due to a severe copper shortage.  Copper was being used for munitions and the government, trying to limit their use of copper, tried several different materials to replace the alloy in the penny.  A zinc coated steel was finally decided upon after trying out several different metals and plastics.  </p>
<p>Problems quickly arose as people began to mistake the now silver colored coin for a dime.  Also, as the only magnetic coin ever produced, it caused major problems in vending machines.  The coins also rusted very quickly.  Public outcry ensued and the government quickly began recycling used ammunition shell casings for pennies.</p>
<p>The coin features the classic Lincoln design on the obverse.  The reverse features ONE CENT over top of UNITED STATES OF AMERICA in the middle with E PLURIBUS UNUM across the top and two wheat stalks along the bottom.</p>
<p>There are many errors and rarities from this series, most involving errors in switching over from the copper dies.  One rare steel cent sold in 2004 for $200,000.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Trade Dollar was minted from 1873 to 1885.  The coin was was issued strictly for trade with Japan, China and Korea.  The US minted the Trade Dollar in response to Mexico, Great Britain and Spain beginning to circulate silver dollars in Asian countries.  The campaign was a success and most trade dollars ended up in Asia during their first two years in circulation.</p>
<p>The Trade Dollar features Lady Liberty seated holding an olive branch towards the west on the obverse.  Thirteen stars run along the top of the coin and the date is centered on the bottom.  The reverse design features a bald eagle holding arrows and an olive branch in its talons.  UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is centered across the top of the coin, TRADE DOLLAR is centered along the bottom.  Centered above TRADE DOLLAR reads 420 GRAMS, 900 FINE.  This is a specification of the coins weight and silver content (90%).  The Trade Dollar was designed by William Barber.</p>
<p>Many rare coins exist in this series.  Many of the coins feature chopmarks, a marking placed on the coin by Asian merchants verifying the coin's authenticity.  Examples without chopmarks are generally more valuable.  Coins from 1879 to 1885 are the most valuable with only 15 coins being produced between 1884 and 1885 combined.  Most years in this period feature around 1,000 coins minted.</p>

This silver dollar shares it's obverse design with the Seated Liberty series that includes a half dime, dime, twenty cent piece, quarter and half dollar.  The Seated Liberty series was designed by Christian Gobrecht.</p>
<p>The obverse of the coin features Lady Liberty sitting and holding a Union Shield.  13 stars run along the top of the coin and the date of production is centered along the bottom.  The reverse of the coin features a bald eagle with arrows in one talon and an olive branch in the other talon.  There is a union shield on the eagle's chest.  Mintmarks for the coin appear under the eagle's talon and include Philadelphia (blank), Carson City (CC), New Orleans (O) and San Francisco (S).</p>
<p>This series features some incredible rare coins.  The 1870-S is the most valuable.  Only 12-15 of these coins are known to exist!  Even more rare is the 1851-O coin, only one is known to exist - the coin was struck under very mysterious circumstances.  Other 50-500 existing coin issues include 1851, 1852, 1858, 1871-CC, 1872-CC and 1873-CC.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Standing Liberty Quarter was minted from 1916 to 1930.  The coin was designed by Herman Atkins MacNeil.  There were two types of the Standing Liberty Quarter that were produced.  Type I, which was minted during 1916 and 1917, has Liberty on the obverse side.  She carries a shield in one hand and an olive branch in the other.  This obverse design is very rare because it features Liberty with a bare breast.  The reverse side of the coin features an eagle in flight.  </p>
<p>Type II was released in 1917 and was minted through the end of the production run in 1930.  Liberty's breast was covered in this version of the coin.  Three stars were also added under the eagle on the reverse.  The design was supposedly changed due to a public outcry over the bare breast in the Type I coin.</p>
<p>The Type I versions of this coin are quite rare, especially for 1916 when only around 50,000 were minted.  The problem with the Type I coins is the date was printed too high on the coin and easily wore off.  This was later changed in the Type II redesign but a pristine 1916 Standing Liberty Quarter is highly sought after by collectors and very valuable.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Shield Nickel was minted from 1866 to 1883.  The shield nickel was the first five cent coin minted in the United States.  It was also the first coin to feature nickel metal in its composition.  The shield nickel was designed by James B. Longacre.  The coin was only minted in Philadelphia, so none of the coins features a mint mark.  </p>
<p>The obverse of the coin features an ornamental shield topped by a cross.  "IN GOD WE TRUST" is centered across the top of the coin and the date is centered across the bottom.  The reverse design originally features a number 5 surrounded by 13 stars with rays passing between the stars towards the numeral.  This design was only minted in 1866 and early 1867 and is quite rare.  This design did not take into account the difficulty of minting such a hard metal which resulting in the rays causing a great lack of detail on the coin.  The rays were removed from the coin in early 1867 and the coin continued with this design until the end of its minting run.   </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Liberty Head Dollar, also known as the Type I dollar, was a gold dollar coin minted from 1849 to 1854.  The Liberty Head Dollar was designed by James B. Longacre and was the first gold dollar produced by the US mint.  The coin depicts Liberty's head facing left wearing a coronet.  She is circled by thirteen stars.  The reverse is very simple, it features the denomination and date of the coin encircled by a wreath.  The coin contains .05 ounces of real gold.  </p>
<p>The coin was initially minted in Philadelphia and Dahlonega.  San Francisco, Charlotte and New Orleans also minted Liberty Head Dollars.  There were just over 500,000 coins minted in 1849, this number grew to over 4 million in 1854.  The coin was short lived because of its extremely small size (smallest coin in US history, smaller than the present day dime) and high value.  The coin was easy lost and this brought outcry from the public.  The coin was redesigned starting and minting ended in 1854.</p>
