Guide for Rare Coin Collectors

<h1>Guide for Rare Coin Collectors</h1>Author: <a title="Nicholas Tan" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/nicholas-tan/20217.htm">Nicholas Tan</a> Coin collecting is one hobby that is both fun and challenging. To help those who are looking for those rare coins, here is a list of hard to find ones that are worth moving “heaven and earth” for.

Gold coins are something of a rare commodity. They were circulated only until 1933, which makes them expensive when they are auctioned. The nice thing about gold is that its value probably will never go down - making it a good investment.

Another rare coin sought by collectors is the Liberty Seated Dollar. These were last produced some time in the 19th century and are considered to be a rare find.

From 1875 to 1878, twenty cent coins were minted. This coin looks very much like a quarter and since its value is very low today, it is a coin worth looking for.

The Barber half dollars are rare coins that were minted from 1892 until 1915 and are collected by people depending on date or type. One of the challenges that occurs when searching for this coin is finding one in good condition.

The 1917 type One Standing Liberty Quarter is another coin worth owning. It was only minted for 2 years and shows the exposed breast of Ms. Liberty. This design created such an uproar that it had to be replaced and was only circulated for a year.

Mercury dimes were produced periodically during the 20th century. The market value of them is $50 a piece.

The Walking Liberty Half Dollar is a beautiful coin for collectors. They were only circulated for 4 years and are considered to be one of the all time rare coins to ever exist.

The Texas Commemorative Half Dollar is another rare coin. Only 150,000 of these were minted over a 4 year period and just 60% to 80% of these are still available today making it one of the hardest coins to find today...

The most expensive coin is the $20 Saint Gaudens. This was sold in an auction for nearly $8 million. The design is truly superb and the value of it has never dropped even during the 1980-82 bear market.

Rare coins are truly a challenge for anyone who seeks to make this a mission in life. Not only are they hard to find but it they are expensive to acquire. Should a person have the funds available to purchase them then this adventure is truly something worth finishing.About the Author: We provide free articles and information.

While I understand and appreciate the info in the article, some of it is quite misleading. For instance, if you are going to say that Mercury dimes are worth $50, you need to qualify that statement. Most are worth significantly less (most dates in low grades) and some are worth considerably more (1916-D, for example). Also, to call the Texas commem "rare" is quite misleading. The MINTAGE is low, but most of them were saved and are readily available in super high grades. And you cannot qualify $20 Saints as being the most valuable coin. There are thousands of pieces worth more depending on condition, date, mintmark, etc. I like the IDEA of the article, but just be careful with the content. Thanks for listening!

By: Nicholas Tan | 10/05/2009 | Nutrition
When people talk about detoxification and cleansing the body of harmful toxins, it’s often seen as a fringe element of vegetarians. People really don’t like to think about harmful toxins building up in their colons or in their arteries, but it’s often a by-product of a carnivorous diet. A diet that’s high in fat and processed foods tends to slow down our digestive systems, and our elimination processes are also interrupted.
