In 1909, this series was designed by Victor D. Brenner to commemorate Lincoln’s birthday. It was the first cent to have “In God We Trust”. In 1959, Frank Gasparro changed the reverse to “memorialize” the 150th anniversary of Lincoln’s birth. Thus the “Memorial Cents” term was coined in 1959. There were some minor changes in 1969,1973,1974,1982 and 1984. Cameo CC is delighted to offer a nice mix of high-grade mint state Lincoln’s from 1930 to 1958. They are graded by NGC and PCGS MS66/MS67 RD. We do offer a limited mix of PCGS MS68/69 RD modern era Lincolns The collector favorite is the complete set of Lincolns from 1934-1958 in NGC MS66RD which includes 71 certified coins. Additionally, we have some modern era PR69 and PR70DCAM PCGS material which literally “jumps off the page”

Designed by James E Fraser, this coin was the first to depict an Indian. Often called Buffalo or Indian Head Nickel this series has a long history of popularity with a strong collector base. First issued in 1913, the series comes in Variety I with the raised ground and Variety 2 with the five cents recessed on the reverse. The last Buffalo nickel was issued in 1938. We carry a limited number of dates but always have a MS66/67 for a type set. In the past, we have helped people find tough dates in high grades.

In 1938, Felix Schlag designed this nickel with a President to replace the symbolic devices used in the past. There were additional minor modifications made in 1966,1968,1971,1972,1977, and 1978. In 1942, nickel was determined important to the war effort. Silver was introduced and thus the 1942-1945 series was termed the “Silver War Nickels.” Cameo CC was fortunate to locate enough of this material to offer complete sets of high-grade (NGC MS66/67) silver war nickels. We offer a nice mix of PCGS and NGC Jeffersons in Mint State, Full Step, Proof, and Proof Deep Cameo.

This most popular series is one of the most beautifully coins ever produced. Adolph Weinman designed this series as well as the Walking Liberty Halves. Miss Liberty is on the obverse with the wings designating freedom of thought. The reverse is important because of the bands. Full band coins mean the coins were fully struck and all the details are on the diagonal bands. Many of these dimes have been melted down over the years. For mint state coins, most people collect from 1941-1945 which is called the short set. We have a nice mix of PCGS and NGC Mercury Dimes from 1940-1945.

In 1946, John Sinnock designed this series to commemorate Franklin D. Roosevelt and his contributions to the U.S. The reverse displays the torch of liberty between an oak and laurel. The Roosevelt Dime has long been a favorite of collectors. The silver coins from 1946-1964 are the most popular and we offer these complete 48 coin sets in MS66 and MS67. If you need certain dates, just ask us by phone or email. After 1964, the coin composition was changed from silver to copper nickel. We have offer Roosevelt Dimes in MS66/67, Proof, and Proof Deep Cameo from 1950 to present.

In 1932, John Flanagan designed this coin to be a commemorative issue marking the 200th anniversary of George Washington’s birthday. We have a nice mix of PCGS and NGC MS65/66/67 from 1940 to 1964. In 1964, the composition was changed from silver to copper nickel. In 1976, the Bicentennial quarter was designed by Jack Ahr and then the normal reverse was used in 1977. We have the Bicentennial Quarters in PCGSPR69DCAM Clad and Silver. We do have Proofs, Proof DCAM’s for 1950-1998. But, the hottest and most desired quarter is the Statehood Quarter.

Each state has been commissioned to design the reverse of the quarter to commemorate the image they select for their state. Congress passed this legislation with one new state being commemorated every 10 weeks with the release of the appropriate statehood quarters. See the USMINT.gov web site for more details. Every year, these coins include the two Proof Coins minted in Silver and Clad from the San Francisco mint. As of 2002, the first 20 statehood quarters(in the order the states joined the union) have been released by the US Mint. We offer the PCGS, NGC and ICG PR69 DCAM and PR/PF70 DCAM coins and 5 coin sets. Also, we have the NGC and PCGS MS66/67 for all years, all states, and all mints. As each year goes by, we will be adding 5 new states to this series in MS and PR. The popularity of these coins has seen millions drawn into coin collecting. This is a wonderful time to start collecting statehood quarters.

Long considered the most beautiful US Coin(many people think the ASE is currently), this half dollar was designed by A.Weinman who also designed the Mercury Dime. The initials appear on the reverse under the wing except for a few proof coins. There were mint marks on the first two years on both the obverse and reverse. Cameo CC has a mix of NGC and PCGS MS65/66 examples. We have put together numerous short sets(1941-1947) in MS64/MS65 and MS66 for customers upon request.

In 1948, John Sinnock again designed this series to commemorate Ben Franklin. John Lewis took the liberty bell on the reverse of this half-dollar from a model. There were some proof varieties as exemplified by the double die and frosted proofs. Cameo CC has a moderate mix of MS and FBL's for this series. We have had some outstanding examples of the high-end MS65/66 FBL’s. Also, we have some straight MS64FBL’s and MS65’s. For the proof series, we do offer proofs, proof cameos, and proof deep cameos. We have assembled complete sets of PCGS/NGC Proof Franklins for various customers.

In 1964, Gilroy Roberts and Frank Gasparro co-designed the Kennedy Half-Dollar. The obverse designed by Roberts with the reverse designed by Gasparro. For the inaugural year of 1964, it was silver. For 1965-70 was silver clad coinage. From 1971 to 2002, the Kennedys are made of copper nickel except for the proofs from 1992-2002. Again, there is Bicentennial coinage in both copper nickel and silver. Cameo CC is proud to say we are a market maker for the Proof Kennedys. We have just about every date in stock for PR69DCAM. Also for the 1964 Kennedy Half, we have a great selection of PR68, PR69, Cameo, DCAM and Accent Hairs. There is a small supply of PR70DCAM material available. Lastly, we do have a limited amount of MS67/MS68 modern era material.

In 1878, George Morgan designed this dollar and Congress under the Bland-Allison Act made this coin the standard. It is the most popular coin in US history. Sharply struck, “proof-like” coins have a highly reflective surface (fields) and are very scarce. They usually command a substantial premium. We have assisted various customers in Proof Morgans. Cameo CC has a mix of CC Morgan Dollars that always has a strong customer base. Currently, the PL and DMPL examples are the best buy for the buck. We have a few selections available and will continue to locate nice examples.

The Peace Dollar was somewhat controversial in that it is the only Dollar without congressional approval. Under the Pittman act, this coin was issued as bullion and was an outgrowth of the US Silver Dollar which was very popular. The 1921 High Relief is a wonderful type coin. We always have a nice example for a type set.

In 1971, Frank Gasparro designed this dollar honoring both President Eisenhower and the first landing on the moon. Since 1971, there have been some minor modifications by changing the relief of the dies. This coin was struck in clad and silver originally and is now copper nickel. The bicentennial piece has several varieties in clad and one example in silver. Greatly undervalued, this series has been a sleeper and Cameo CC has a wonderful selection of all dollars in the series graded PR69DCAM. For type sets, you should have an example of Silver and Clad. The key dates are truly hard to find.

In 1978, Frank Gasparro designed this coin to commemorate the work of Susan B. Anthony. This was the first coin to have a woman, other than the mythical Miss Liberty, appear on a US coin. Because of the size, this dollar caused confusion and was discontinued in 1981. The US Mint is scheduled to reissue this series. Cameo CC offers a complete set of all types in PR69 DCAM. Once again, this is a wonderful type coin for twentieth century type sets. We do carry PCGS MS66/67 for the series.

Sacagawea was the Shoshone Indian who assisted the historical exploits of the Lewis and Clark expedition. Between 1804-1806, while still a teenager, she guided the adventurers from the Northern Great Plains to the Pacific Ocean and back. Her husband, Toussaint Charbonneau, and their son who was born during the trip, Jean Baptiste, also accompanied the group. This Dollar has created a lot of controversy for a variety of reasons. We offer the NGC and PCGS proof and mint state versions for all years, mints, and grades.

The obverse was designed by Adolph Weinman who also designed the Mercury Dime and Walking Liberty Half. John Mercanti designed the reverse for this issue. Just about everybody agree that this is one of the best-designed coins ever produced by the US mint. Congress enacted the Liberty Coin Act in 1985 with the intent to produce one-ounce coins so people could put away silver, gold, and platinum bullion coins. This act authorized the US Mint to produce sufficient quantities for the public demand. In the 16 years, this program has been very successful. We were the first coin dealer to market and certify this series. In the last two years, we have sold well over 100 sets in NGC/PCGS PR69DCAM. We do have a limited number of NGC MS and PF70’s. For MS69 ASE’s, we offer the complete 17 coin set in NGC only. We do have some PCGS dates available.

Many people want to get the 4 coin sets for a particular year to give as gifts to their loved ones. We offer NGC and PCGS MS69 and PR69/70DCAM.

The obverse was designed by Adolph Weinman who also designed the Mercury Dime and Walking Liberty Half. John Mercanti designed the reverse for this issue. Platinum is a very hard metal and it is very difficult to produce planchets/coins. For Platinum Eagles, there are four denominations: $100(1oz), $50(1/2 oz), $25(1/4oz), and $10 (1/10 oz). The proof coinage really has a lot of eye appeal, low mintage, low population, and difficult to locate in high grade. The mint state coinage is especially difficult to find in MS69. There are many collectors who like to collect directly from the US Mint but we know that all Platinum Eagles are not alike and we recommend certified coins.

Since the beginning of coins by the Greeks and Romans, commemorative coins have been very popular. US Commemoratives can be categorized by three methods: silver, gold, and modern. The silver commemoratives are half dollars and dollars. The modern commemoratives are half dollars and dollars and commemorate famous Presidents, American Heroes, anniversaries, and special events. This series continues to grow with a strong collector base. We have a nice mix of most issues in PCGS. We have a limited group of NGC and PCGS MS70 coins upon request. Cameo CC has assembled several complete sets for our customers.

With the 1984 Olympics, the US Government enacted legislation to offer $10 Olympic Gold pieces. Also, the Library of Congress bimetal was issued in 2001. All the rest of the gold commemoratives are five dollar in mint state and proof. This series has been promoted by a lot of different companies and continues to grow. We offer this set in PCGS and NGC MS69/70 and Pr69/70DCAM.
