Whether you’re a newcomer to coin collecting or an experienced collector, it’s important to familiarize yourself with the various coin terms. These terms will help you understand how your coins are graded and what to look for in the grade.
The face value of a coin is the value stated on the coin. This is different from the coin’s numismatic value.
A coin’s face value can be viewed partially or fully. This is referred to as the eye appeal. The luster or shine of the coin is a factor that a professional will examine. A high luster refers to a shiny coin. A coin with a low luster is usually worn.
A cameo device is a frosted design that contrasts with the fields of the coin. Normally, the cameo devices are present on early strike coins. Some cameo devices are black and white. Other cameo devices are deep.
Throughout the history of the United States, the dime has been issued. It has been issued in a variety of metals including copper, nickel and gold. These coins retain 95 percent or more of the original mint color.
There are a variety of designs used on silver coins, from half dimes to dollars. These include the Liberty Seated series, which includes five denominations. These designs are typically subtypes of each other.
The Draped Bust design is based on Gilbert Stuart’s portrait. It is credited to Mint engraver Robert Scot.
The Liberty Head silver dollar was struck from 1878 until 1904. It was then struck again in 1921.
