US Coin Values Advisor researches
historical price trends for United States collectible coins. While past
performance is no guarantee of future results, coins that have consistently
risen in value over long periods of time in the past are the best bets for
appreciation in the years ahead.
Value trend data is presented in a
series of concise
Coin Value Tables. These tables empower the coin collecting public
to study the up-and-down price movements of individual US coins over the last
half century plus.
The Coin
Value Tables™...
-
identify specific US collectible coins by type, date, mintmark, and condition.
-
report retail coin prices at various intervals from 1950 to the present.
-
include compounded annual % return rates to facilitate comparisons.
Coin collectors desiring
to see their coins increase in value over time are advised to review the
Coin Value
Tables before making another purchase. Coin collecting
historical value trends are the key to evaluating future growth potential.

As we can see from the
sample table, the 1879-CC Morgan silver dollar has displayed solid, if not
spectacular, value growth over a very long period of time. In certain
grades, the coin has
been especially hot since the year 2000. Any coin collector fortunate
enough to own one of these Carson City rarities need not worry about selling at
a loss down the road. The table demonstrates the 1879-CC dollar is a good
choice for continued appreciation in the future....
But...
Few collectible US coins
increase in
value so steadily. The purpose of the Coin Value
Tables™ is to help you identify United States coins having the best potential
for solid value growth, based on past trend performance over a period of many
years.
Some Coin
Collectors Will Say... SO WHAT?
Yes, it's true; some
individuals are in the coin collecting hobby without regard to the future growth
potential of the coins they buy. That's fine, but most of us hope the coins we
sacrifice to put in our collections will someday command coin prices far above
what we paid for them... something we'll be proud to pass onto our children.
It's not greedy or shameful
to seek coins for your collection that will actually show a substantial return...
it's the SMART thing to do.

The first US Mint,
built in Philadelphia in the year 1792, was a vision of our Founding
Fathers.
"Ye Olde Mint" helped establish a national identify for the fledgling
US. In 1833, the original mint was abandoned, when a larger facility
was opened. "Ye Olde Mint" survived until 1911.

The
discovery of gold in California in 1848 ignited a
mass migration westward,
expanding the US from the Atlantic to the Pacific. A small quantity of
California gold was minted into 1848 Quarter Eagles, indicated by the "CAL."

Three-time presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan is perhaps best
remembered for his "Cross of Gold" speech in 1896. A disciple of
silver-backed currency, Bryan's bitter opposition to the gold standard
typified the pugnacious
political climate dominating the 1890s.

The
Peace dollar was first issued in 1921, to commemorate the end of
The Great
War of 1914-1918. Tragically, the aftermath of that war set the stage
for a far worse global conflict to come a couple of decades later. Photo courtesy
