Shield Nickels

Shield Nickels

Shield Nickels began production in 1866. In 1865, Mint Director James Pollock officially endorsed the creation of a nickel five-cent piece to replace the hated fractional notes. The Mint's chief engraver, James B. Longacre, created a design based on his previous two-cent piece, with a shield as the main obverse motif. On May 16, 1866, legislation enabling the new coin was enacted, and Shield Nickels began to be struck that year.

Native American dollars

I collect these for myself and my daughter. I look forward to getting the new one each year. This site, U. S. State Quarters, has been the most reliable source to do this. Their cost and service is dependable. This makes my annual search easy.

National Parks Purchases to Complete My Set

I am very pleased with the recent purchase of a variety of the National Parks Quarters I needed to complete a set in both Denver and Philidelphia mints. They are professionally priced to meet the competitive market and i will definitely be looking to purchase more coin collection in the future.

Very Grateful Nun

I work at a Convent and one of the Sisters(Nuns) came to me and asked if I could "keep my eye out" for a few State quarters to complete her longtime collection. As if I would somehow be coming across a Samoa Territory, North Mariana Island Quarter any time soon. A quick search brought me to your company. Quick order, so quick I made a mistake that you quickly corrected for me. The shipment came quickly and She was DELIGHTED! Thank you so much. In life, it is the little things we do for people that mean the most. You allowed me to do the impossible for our Sister. She is forever grateful. Thanks Joe Assante
