Commemorative Coins
When the Roman emperor Titus defeated Jerusalem in A.D.70 he was so proud of it that he had special coins created to honor the event. It was not the first time in history that coins have been used to remind others of significant occurrences, past or current, however it was one of the most noteworthy in the history of the Jews. Over the two millennia that have passed since that moment in time, scores of commemorative coins have been circulated all throughout the world in order to honor people, places, and historic events which may otherwise have been forgotten.
The United States was a latecomer in the undertaking of issuing commemorative coins. However at that time the country was only slightly more than one hundred years old when the first of such coins was created in 1892. The occasion that was honored on those coins was the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus exactly four hundred years earlier. It was a notable beginning to a series of commemorations that has been continued ever since. Commemorative coins are outstanding in that they are seldom seen in normal circulation. Most of the hundreds of types which have been designed in this country during the previous 100 years were created in controlled amounts and exclusively available as souvenirs and to collectors. In several other countries commemorative coins are utilized in daily circulation right alongside the standard national coinage. Now that the 50 States quarters coins are being released, we are starting to notice the kind of interest and collecting activity that can be developed by distributing commemorative coins.
That activity is bringing new awareness to the many older issues of commemoratives which were hitherto undiscovered by the majority of Americans. It is now starting to be a particularly enjoyable challenge to research old, new and circulating commemoratives to learn more concerning the history and artistry of our country.
Anyone planning to pursue collecting commemorative coins should begin by reviewing a listing of all the various kinds that have been released since 1892. There is a helpful listing in the Guide Book of United States Coins (The Red Book), and there are numerous beneficial publications on the topic as well. Commemorative Coins of the U.S. by Q. David Bowers is one of the most thorough and interesting. Those books and others can usually be located in local public libraries. After reviewing the scope of the commemorative field you can better ascertain which topics appeal the most to you, and start building your collection.
It is no longer fashionable to try saving one of each date, mintmark and type of the hundreds of available pieces. That form of collecting has become outdated with the advent of so many modern kinds that have been issued since 1982. Modern day collectors generally center their focus on either the older "Classic" pieces, or the "Modern" issues but not normally both. The most preferred approach to collecting now is to put together a set of interesting styles or designs all in the same grade of condition. Each person's spending plan can dictate whether his or her coins should be "About Uncirculated" or in the "gem" class. The difference in price can vary by a factor of five to ten times based upon condition.
For various reasons enthusiasm in collecting commemorative coins appears to work in cycles of popularity. During the last "hot" market, costs increased to a level that kept many from collecting. Now that has changed considerably. Costs are at new reduced and quite appealing levels. In the opinion of many, there has never been a better time to turn to this exciting area of interest. The government issues two to three different kinds of commemorative coins each year for sale to collectors. You can find out more regarding them, and even order the current issues from their usmint.gov website site. Beauty, historical events, famous people, eagles, animals and even some people that should never have been depicted on these coins, are all topics that appeal to collectors of the amazing world of commemorative coins. They are coins like none others in United States numismatics, and hold something of interest for everyone.
