Silver Dollar Coin

The silver dollar coin has been produced in the United States almost since the beginning of this nation. Production began on the first silver dollar coin, the “Flowing Hair” dollar in 1794 and since then has seen quite a few makeovers. Next in line of the silver dollar coin series in the U.S. is the “Draped Bust” dollar. With two types of reverses, the Draped Bust silver dollar coin, as well as the Flowing Hair silver dollar coin, are two of the most sought after United States coins in all of numismatics.

The 1804 Draped Bust silver dollar coin is one of the rarest and most valuable coins in the world today. The United States then discontinued production of the silver dollar coin until the Gobrecht silver dollar coin brought the series back into production in the 1830’s. Although this variety of the silver dollar coin was in production for just a few years, it rekindled merchants interest in the ease and efficiency of using the silver dollar coin for transactions of the day. The “Seated Liberty” silver dollar coin followed the Gobrecht silver dollar coin and became a staple to business and investment practices for several decades in the 19th century. After congress neglected to pass legislation required to keep up production of the Seated Liberty silver dollar coin, the “Trade Dollar” silver dollar came into production and was mainly used overseas to facilitate trade and assert U.S. influence in Asia and other Pacific and Indian ocean areas as many nations in this region of the world were emerging as powerful trade partners to the United States.

A few short years after the Seated Liberty silver dollar coin was discontinued, congress passed legislation enabling mints to begin production on the “Morgan” silver dollar coin, thus providing a stable source of coinage to help in the expansion of the western United States. The Morgan silver dollar coin, after being produced for a time period spanning close to 50 years, gave way to the final business strike type of silver dollar coin the the United States would release to the public. The “Peace” silver dollar coin lasted for just 14 years in production, but made quite an impact on the coin collecting world for decades to come. The silver dollar coin of the United States has now become a staple in every coin collection and is still sought after by professional numismatists and novice coin collectors the world over.

Wonderful experience, Nick and Laura made it seamless and stress free. Thank you! They also sell super cool items!!

They took the time to help me sell my item and find an item. The staff does not rush you or pressure you into buying something. They take you on a little adventure by telling you about the items you are selling and looking at…

I am a brazilian and had the chance to deal with Nevada Coin. I was there to sell some gold coins and they paid me the best price I could fetch in Las Vegas. They are professional, courteous and trustworthy. Before visiting their premises I got a tentative appraisal by phone which I found reasonable. In the shop the attendant offered to approach the manager to get me a (gasp) BETTER price. Do yourself a favor and don’t bother talking to their rude and unprofessional competitors. They will treat you like a moron and quote prices accordingly. For Nevada Coin, five Stars all the way.

My friend and I came here to sell some coins and jewelry. We first saw Scott about some coins. He was very friendly and knew his stuff. Afterwards, he brought us over to Sheila who looked at our jewelry. She was also very nice and professional. We will definitely come back here again. GREAT PLACE!!!!

What friendly staff. They help you sell your items even if they don’t have a use for it by calling other shops around the area to see if they could use it… They want you to have the best out come from selling your items. I was so happy I decided to go to them!

This past Saturday I had the opportunity to meet the owner and team at Nevada Coin and Jewelry. I didn’t know what to expect but they made me feel both comfortable and safe. I went through my collection of jewelry, both broken pieces and things I thought were of no value at all. They took the time to explain what each carat weight was worth and they helped me sort through my items. I was amazed at what they gave me for things I would never wear or use. I would recommend you stop in and speak to them, you might be as pleasantly surprised as I was.

As a first timer in selling, I was a bit apprehensive. I did not know what to expect and was a little worried about a previous reviewers comments. Yes the office was stark and clinical. The staff however, more than made up for any downfall in the decor. Very helpful, polite and understanding to any ‘silly’ questions that were asked. All in all a pleasant experience, and one that should the opportunity arise I would go through again!

Really cool cats over at Nevada Coin and Jewelry. You would’ve thought that I was “Madonna” the way those guys treated me. I was so mesmerized by all of the antiques, they have in there, I believe I was there for two hours, just looking, unbelieveable! When I went in I was so hot, they offered me a cold bottle of water, how cool is that? It felt like home to me. I wanted to get a price for some old jewelry that was passed down by grandma, I was well satisfied. When I left the shop, I was singing “Money, Money, Money.

Doris

Grateful for the Nevada Coin and Jewelry shop, I just adore it. I took some collectable figurines in and they bought them. I came out smelling like a rose. You should’ve been there to see the big smile on my face. I ran all the way home to look for some more. Can’t wait to get back! I can sure use the money!
