US Coin Key Dates
One of the most frequently asked questions we get is ‘What coins should I be looking for?’. As a guide, we have compiled a list of ‘Key Date’ coins that you may have in your personal or inherited coin collection that have numismatic (collectible coin) value.
We have left out extremely rare coins that are unlikely to be found.
