1822 is the key to the Capped Bust dime series. Most of the 200 or so extant examples are in grades of VG or less.   |

1811 is the key date of the classic head Half Cent series, except for the proof-only 1831 originals. United States, 1/2 cent, 1811:   |

1793-dated large cents and Half Cents are considered important types by coppers collectors. This is my example of the 1793 Half Cent. A bit rough, but lots of history!   |

The 1793 'Chain Cent' was the first to be struck at the Philadelphia Mint. This is my (worn and rough) example.   |

1850-p Seated dollar: The 1850's brought a dramatic decline of Seated dollar production by the mint that created the majority of key and scarce dates for the entire series. Notable low mintage coins are the 1850-p at 7,500, the 1851-p at 1,300 and the 1852-p at 1,000. From that point forward, mintage numbers dramatically increased. Despite the increase all of the coins from 1854-1857 are considered rare due to melting and shipping oversees. The 1850-P Seated dollar is scarce in all grades. With a tiny mintage of only 7,500, Dick Osburn and Brian Cushing estimate that only 400 survived.     |
