About this item
- Modern coins and banknotes have changed dramatically over the last half century, and this collection features several items that were once commonly found in circulation but that have now disappeared and are increasingly hard to find. Together, they bring back memories of bygone days. The coins and banknote are widely sought-after for their timeless designs and compelling stories.
- One of America’s most beloved coins is the Lincoln Wheatback Penny that was last made over 60 years ago in 1958. The back features two stalks of wheat, while the obverse is a portrait of Lincoln that is still used today. The original Jefferson Nickel was minted in 1938 to honor Thomas Jefferson, third President of the United States from 1801-1809, and it was last made in 2003 when the design changed. The obverse depicts a portrait of Jefferson based on a bust made in 1789 by French sculptor Jean-Antoine Houdon.
- The Roosevelt Dime was first made in 1946 and continued to be made in 90% silver only until 1964 (over half a century ago). It honors President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who guided America through the Great Depression and World War II. The coin in this collection is 90% silver.
- The original Washington Quarter was first issued in 1932 to honor the 200th anniversary of George Washington’s birth. The same portrait by John Flanagan is still used today, but the reverse has been State Quarters and National Parks Quarters designs since 1999,
- The $1 Silver Certificate was last made in the Series of 1957, and until June 24, 1968, it could be redeemed for the actual silver with which it was backed and that was deposited in the United States Treasury. It features a blue Treasury seal, unlike the green seal on today’s paper currency, to identify it as a Silver Certificate.
- The collection is presented in a custom coin wallet with narrative about the history and design of the items.
