4 Pcs US Indian Head Penny Coins 4-Empat Keping Koin Amerika Serikat Koin Kepala Indian

The Indian Head penny is a popular US one cent coin that started production in 1859 and ended in 1909. This was the same year the Lincoln wheat started being made. They are a success with collectors who enjoy them greatly as well as the mint (who had problems producing the handsome Flying Eagle penny which is also popular with collectors).

They have on their obverse an image of Lady Liberty who dons a Native American head dress. The back has a wreath with the denomination in the middle. Interestingly they were referred to as Nickel at one time (bear in mind this was before the 5 cent piece) because at one point they were 12% nickel (from 1859 to 1864).

So in the photographs below there are 4 Indian Head pennies. There are two from the year 1902 the top one being very good grade and the bottom example good. There is also a 1905 specimen that is very good grade and a 1904 that is in fine condition.

1837 Liberty Head Hard Times Token

This post will take a look at an1837 Liberty Head Hard Times Token. On the front is Lady Liberty flanked by stars on each side with American motto in latin words E Pluribus Unum. The bottom of the obverse displays the year 1837. During this period in US history a depression was going on and tokens like this were used as money (hence why it is called a Hard Times token). On the reverse is the phrase "MILLIONS FOR DEFENSE NOT ONE CENT FOR TRIBUTE." This was coined by Robert Goodloe Harper in the late 1700s in defiance of a request of bribes by Talleyrand (French Foreign Minister) in order to negotiate. Apparently this wasn't something out of the ordinary for Talleyrand to request, American diplomats were offended. The Quasi War occurred shortly afterwards and lasted for a couple of years.

Silver US 1933 Walking Liberty Half Dollar Coin San Francisco Mint

Silver US 1933 Walking Liberty Half Dollar Coin San Francisco Mint In 1933 the US mint only made silver half dollars in the San Francisco mint. They made 1.786 million of these Walking Liberty 50 cent pieces in the S mint and this was after a break of 3 years. The previous year of production for these was 1929. Silver was continually used comprising 90 percent of this coin or in measurement terms .3617 ounces of the precious metal. The mintage isn’t that high and they were only made in one mint that year. This coin was struck in arguably the worse year of the Great Depression and there weren't a large supply of coin minted in general. Walking Liberty Halves began in the year 1916 and I would say their design is the most memorable of any US 50 cent piece in the 20th century. Certain silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars are keydates can command large premiums especially those with very low mintages (especially in uncirculated grades).
