    I find these type collections much more interesting than collections of just one type of coin. You can see a (mostly) full history of US coinage on just a few pages. For the Ike dollar, you could go with a 40% silver that is not proof. That will match up better with the other silver dollars in the book. They are fairly inexpensive to find.

      Pennies were British. The United States makes cents and has since 1793.
      The three cent of 1865 through 1889 was the first 'nickel' (75% copper, 25% nickel) coin produced by the U.S. as the five cent 'nickel' saw its debut in 1866. The original U.S. five cent coin was the half dime (see 09:03) produced from 1794 - 1873.

      The three cent silver, also called a 'fishscale' by the public, was introduced in 1851 and was produced through 1872. They were initially composed of '75% silver (.750) until 1853 when the alloy was brought to the .900 silver standard.
      The 'nickel' coins (.75 Cu, .25 Ni) are the alloy still in use for 5c coins and for the outer layer of 'clad' U.S. coinage.
      For other 'obsoletes', the half cent was eliminated in 1857, the same year the copper 'large cent' was replaced with a copper nickel (88% Cu) 'small cent' which went to bronze in 1864 (1856 FE cents were patterns). The two cent bronze (first to bear motto, 'In God We Trust') was minted for circulation from 1864 - 1872 (1873 were proofs only), the 3c 'nickel' was dropped in 1889, half dimes ran concurrent with the 5c 'nickel' (1866) until the half dime's demise in 1873, the twenty cent ran only from 1875 - 1878, the $3 gold ran only from 1854 - 1889 (but then, all circulating gold became 'obsolete' in 1933).
      Large dollars went on hiatus from 1936 through 1970, were then dropped in 1978.
      Small dollar production started in 1979, stopped in 1981, resumed in 1999.
      Fractional currency is also rather interesting, as are the myriad varieties of pattern coins and commemorative issues of the U.S..

    You mention Trade Dollars. I'm working on a US TD type set right now. My big ones are 2 proof only TD's and a pattern TD. I love those coins. TD's are my favorite US coinage. When I'm done with this, it's on to the Drape Bust Dollars. Those are one of my favorites. Got 2 of them so far.

      @@Silverpicker I'll believe your $1400 estimate if you actually included some quality coins in this album. As I said earlier, your Dansco lacks the most expensive pieces like both Seated dollars and the twenty cent. And it lacks a gold type page. In addition your common coins are in sub-par condition. For example, your V nickels look to be in Fine-Very Fine condition. My LCS sells heavily circulated V nickels like yours for a few cents. Seriously, V nickels aren't that expensive in AU or MS. In fact, a proof V nickel can be had for $300. You have damaged coins like your holed Seated dime. Again it's a scrap coin. It doesn't cost much to get Seated dimes in XF+ so there's no excuse getting damaged, slick coins. Your Draped Bust cent looks to be Poor 01 or Fair 02. The date is barely legible on your cent. I recently got a Draped Bust cent in G04 with a sharp date for $65. It doesn't cost much to get decent examples of the common coins in the Dansco. Ignoring the chopmarks, your Trade dollar is the only decent coin. How can you say your Dansco is $1400 if you cheaped out on getting decent examples? At least try to get XF+ for most of the coins.

      U.S. half dollars of 1965 -1970 are, indeed, 'clad' coins as they were minted on planchets with outer layers of .800 silver, .200 copper bonded to a core of .209 silver, .791 copper. As the net yield of such coins is 40% silver, they are often called '40%' or 'silver clad'.
      The same composition was used for 'Blue Pack' Eisenhower dollars minted from 1971 - 74 as well as 'silver' Bicentennial quarters, halves, dollars that were specially packaged and sold by the mint.
      Many people who are aware that 1964 Kennedy halves are 90% silver are unaware of the silver content of 1965 - 70 halves which means they are often found in circulation to this day. Buying rolls of halves at banks (in the U.S.) can be a dandy way to go about 'silver mining' for that reason.
      Free grading guides can be found online for your Indian Head nickel. It is one of my favorite coin designs, done by husband and wife sculptors James and Laura Fraser.

Many people in the U.S. do not realize that we (sort of) went metric nearly 230 years ago and still use the metric system daily.
      The U.S. dollar was based on, and traded on par with, the Spanish dollar which was the most widely respected unit of international commerce at the time. As the Spanish dollar was divided into eight reales, or 'bits', U.S. half dollars, quarter dollars and half cents were also minted to make change of 'two bits, four bits, six bits, a dollar' with one real (bit) being 1/8 dollar or 12 and one half cents.

It was the first United States commemorative coin. U.S. Mint: www.usmint.gov/coins/coin-medal-programs/commemorative-coins/columbian-exposition-half
      He is correct, therefore, in identifying a Columbian Half (even if the second year) as "the first of the series" having just referred to U.S. commemorative half dollars as "the series". The next commemorative half dollar would be the 1915s Panama Pacific issue.
      There was no regular or commemorative issue of U.S, coin introduced in 1882. The 'Liberty' five cent nickel made its debut in 1883, that's about as close to "1882 is the first year [sic]" as it gets.
