Discover some of the most historic and sought-after U.S. coins in this curated selection. From Morgan and Peace silver dollars to pre-1933 US gold coins, these coins span centuries of American history and offer great value to collectors of all experience levels. In this category, you’ll find both well-known and lesser-known pieces to build a type set or look for an exceptional addition.
Pre-1933 U.S. Gold Coins
Before 1933, the US Mint minted gold coins in denominations of 1 to 20 dollars for commercial use. These historic coins are highly sought after today, especially the larger denominations such as the 10-dollar gold eagle and the 20-dollar double eagle, which often remain in higher grades due to the limited mintage. MCM offers a select range of these pre-1933 gold coins, which are prized for their gold content and historical value.
Morgan Silver Dollars: A Collector’s Favorite
First minted in 1878, the Morgan Silver Dollars are among the most popular US coins. Their intricate design and connection to American silver mining history make them a must-have for collectors. MCM’s selection includes a range of grades and price ranges to suit any collection – from common coins to important rarities like the 1893-S.
Peace Silver Dollars: Symbols of a New Era
The Peace Dollars were minted from 1921 to 1935 and represent a transitional period in US history after the First World War. Although sometimes overshadowed by the Morgans, they are equally collectible due to their bold, modern design and lower mintage. MCM carries Peace Dollars in both circulated and higher-grade states.
Historic U.S. Half Dollars
From the early Flowing Hair half dollar to the Kennedy half dollar, this denomination has produced some of the most iconic coin designs in the US. Collectors particularly value the Walking Liberty and Franklin Half Dollars, both for their silver content and their place in American numismatic history.
Classic U.S. Fractional Coinage
Build your collection with classic quarters, dimes, nickels, and cents. Whether you’re drawn to the Buffalo Nickel, Mercury Dim, or Indian Head Cent, these fractional coins offer an affordable introduction to collecting old coins. MCM also offers rarer pieces like the half cent and the 20-cent piece.
