My collection of American coins.

"Linkoln" cent was the first USA's coin in my collection. Why did I started my American collection? 'cos I like an American history.
When I was a little boy, I read a books of Mark Twain, James F. Cooper and O.Henry - and since my childhood I fall in love in your history.
Regards. Eugene.

I really like your error nickels. The only off center coins I have are cents.

 

Your 1957 Quarter is interesting. It has the type B (proof artwork) reverse.

 

Very nice collection Siberian Man...

 

Thanks for sharing them!<A>

A+:kewl: Eugene!!!!

 

:w8v4:Angelo, thanks for your kind words.

 

The coin is actually a proof, so it really wouldn't be considered a type B reverse because all proofs had that reverse.

 

Awesome.

 

Sweet coins SM! Just out of curiosity, do American coins ever turn up in circulation in Russia? Over here, there have been a handful of times when I've come across European coins in circulation.

Thank you for sharing, nice bunch of coin.

 

Very nice collection, Eugene!

I noticed that you don't have a Morgan dollar. If you would send me a PM with your address, I'll send you one.

So what reverse is the 1957 quarter if it is not a type "B"?

 

Here is my first Barber Quarter.

 

I really like the Nation of Immigrants coin!

 

That 1892 quarter is another interesting variety that was only issued in 1892 on a minority of coins.

 

Nikki,

Actually, it is the "Statue of Liberty" and the obverse depicts a ship full of immigrants entering New York harbor.

I got it for 14$ only. It's a rare coin, isn't it? Or no?

 

After looking it up on ebay, it was still worth 14 bucks. It's under Nation of Immigrants coin. When I looked up statue of liberty coin, a bunch of different coins came up.

 

So, Philadelphia quarters from 1956-64 had 2 different reverses. The standard reverse was reverse "A" and then a smaller group ended up having the proof reverse which is referred to as reverse "B." There are a couple differences, on a "B" the ES in States has a wider gap, the leaf is touching the A in Dollar, The leaves completely cover the arrow tips, and the Eagles left wing (right side of coin) has a pointed tip. This reverse is found on ALL proofs during these years...but only a small number of business strike coins. Since the coin shown here is a proof...it could only have 1 type of reverse, and that is the type "B." However, nobody attributes proofs as being "type B" because they all are.

But, a business strike with this reverse is considered more desirable.
