Definitely, please make more of these for us UK folk, super interesting and perfectly delivered as always Christopher! Thanks for the video mate!
I love your videos Christopher! Ben Franklin wasn’t a President though. He was one of our greatest inventors and statesmen!
The US nickels also have a WWII variant as in 1942 and 1945 they were struck in 35% silver and feature an oversized mint mark located on the reverse of the coin; centered above Monticello instead instead of on the front and to the right of the portrait. These are the only US nickels for circulation struck in silver.
Another fascinating look into the US coinage. As you said we don’t have mint marks on our coins but I’d like to see possibly the inclusion of die marks as an extra facet of collecting Uk coins like IOM Coins.
Great stuff Christopher & BCC 👍🏻
Great video as usual Christopher - I’m afraid that I don’t collect US coinage - but interested non the less to watch this explaining video. 👍
Very very interesting. Don’t have a big collection of US coin’s, but I do like my Liberty Dollar found recently. 👌👍
I have a humble amount of USA coins and I enjoy looking at them. Nothing as rare as a CC or low mintage year. The prices there go into astronomical amounts. My favourites would be the Morgan, Peace and Kennedy halfs in my collection. I had no idea about the providence of the term "Mercury" dime...a bit of a pejorative there. Thanks fo the insight! Well presented and interesting video.
I used to work in the US reasonably regularly and collected a whole set, from both mints, of the state quarters that were released from 1999 onwards. I know they will never be worth anything (beyond their face value) because so many were minted but it still felt like a bit of an achievement considering I don't live in the country 😁
I have the state quarter dollar collection and state park collection they are beautiful designs great hope thre are more
No offense, but Franklin was never president. Also, a few West Point coins were released into circulation in an attempt to spur interest in coin collecting. I have a West Point quarter that I found in my pocket change.
Excellent video. I don’t collect U.S. coins anymore. Living in Canada, the exchange rate, cost of shipping, customs duties and other taxes, make the purchase of the coins from U.S. dealers too expensive. Also you are paying a higher price because dealers only want to deal in slabbed coins from graders PCGS or NGC, not to mention the little green bean from CAC.
American collector here! Great wide look at US coins! One other word about the steel cent: there were some bronze cents minted in 1943 that fetch an absolute bonkers amount of money; more unscrupulous individuals have attempted to capitalize by bronze-plating ordinary steel cents. An ordinary magnet will allow you to tell the difference (the steel will stick, bronze will not).
Another note about nickels that wasn't mentioned in this video: 1942-1945 nickels with a big mint mark above the dome of Monticello on the reverse were actually made of 35% silver. There are 1942-dated nickels that were also made of the regular nickel alloy before they made the transition to silver. The regular composition was resumed in 1946.
Correction at about 6:02: Benjamin Franklin was not actually a US President, but rather a prominent writer, scientist, and diplomat who played an instrumental role in the development of the early United States.
Kennedy half dollars were 90% silver in 1964 only; the silver percentage was reduced to 40% from 1965-1970, and replaced by copper-nickel beginning in 1971. These are not widely in circulation nowadays due to a relative lack of use--even some ordinary Americans don't know that "half a dollar" means 50 cents!
Likewise, there were some Eisenhower dollars that were minted in 40% silver, although these are normally found in sets.
📽️👍👍👍👍💪
Thank you very much for showing your international audience United States coins and hope they would collect our coins also. As an American collector, I wish we get rid of the presidents portraits and go back to putting liberty portraits on the coins. It allows the mints artists to be more creative and show their skills instead of the bland dead presidents.
i know why everyone is finding so many shiny rabbits/potter coins.
the rabbits are out in force to celebrate the year of the rabbit for the summer. they've all come out of hiding.
