Colorado Springs Coin, Currency & Collectibles Expo is now Coin X West
We are now proud to announce that RoundTable Trading has acquired the Colorado Springs Coin, Currency & Collectibles Expo. Ken Byrd, by all accounts, has built one of the best regional shows in America. Nestled between the first and second session of the American Numismatic Associations Summer Seminar, The Colorado Springs Coin, Currency & Collectibles Expo has quickly grown to over 200 tables. RoundTable Trading plans to continue to build on what Ken has built for 2021 and has big plans to rebrand the show for 2022. We are excited to announce once again that we will be partnering with Scotsman Coin & Jewelry once again.
Statement from the US Mint:
On April 2 we released two million of each of the scheduled 2019 America the Beautiful Quarters Program® coins with a W mint mark as circulating collectibles. This is the first time quarters with a W mint mark (West Point Mint) have been put into circulation. The Mint’s W Mint Quarters program parallels a separate initiative that organizers have dubbed “the Great American Coin Hunt.” As with all circulating coins, the W mint mark quarters will be distributed to banks and financial institutions by the Federal Reserve. We hope you find one soon! #WQuarter American Numismatic Association
Learn the finer points about your collectible coins such as the 1882 Morgan Dollar
Like 1881, 1882 saw relatively little action among Morgan Silver Dollars. While collectors who pursue VAM (Leroy C. Van Allen and A. George Mallis) varieties may notate various minor deviations among the dies used to strike 1882 Morgan Silver Dollars, most coin collectors will not usually pay much attention to any slight variations among the dies used that year.
The 1882 Morgan Silver Dollar was produced in four mints: Carson City, New Orleans, Philadelphia, and San Francisco. The most valuable 1882 Morgan Silver Dollar carries the “CC” mintmark used by the Carson City Mint. It always carries a premium value because of very low production, making it the rarest 1882 Morgan Dollar. The New Orleans Mint used an “O” and the San Francisco Mint an “S”. The main mint in Philadelphia did not use a mintmark. Proof examples of Morgan Dollars from all years, including 1882, are rare which makes them expensive.
1882 Morgan Silver Dollar Mintage Figures
- 1882: 11,100,000; $35+
- 1882-CC: 1,133,000; $200+
- 1882-O: 6,090,000; $35+
- 1882-O, O Over S: mintage included above; $50+
- 1882-S: 9,250,000; $35+
- 1882 Proof: 1,100; $3,200+
The only major obstacle for most collectors pursuing 1882 Morgan Silver Dollar coins is the 1882-CC, which is a much scarcer coin than some may realize due to the multiple melting episodes that the series experienced during the early 20th century in particular. Due to the scarcity of some Morgan Dollar issues (and the growing prevalence of counterfeit Morgan Dollars), it is usually wise to buy “slabbed” versions of the scarcer coins in the series. Slabbed coins are coins that are placed in special holders and graded by various coin-grading companies to determine what condition the actual coin is in. Additionally, be wary of the fact that many Morgan Silver Dollars have been cleaned, and therefore extra caution must be exercised when buying dollar coins from 1882 or any of the other years during which the series was produced. Avoid buying any low-grade pieces that have a highly reflective surface. Such pieces are almost always cleaned and should be avoided.
