<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 25375500, member: 101855&quot;]During this era, coins were traded by their weight or “tail.” There were early U.S. coins that had values on them. The early dollars had “one hundred cents, one dollar or unit” around the edge. The half dollars had “fifty cents of half a dollar” on the edge. Sadly, slabs have often made this feature unavailable to collectors. The 1796-7 half dollars “1/2” below the wreath on the reverse. The 1804 - 7 quarters had “25 C” on the bottom of the reverse. John Reich added denominations to his designs, and it continued from then on. </p><p><br /></p><p>The English coins I collect are the same way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
