Collections of Old Silver Dollars - By: Rachel Barr, 2009-06-13

The hobby of collecting old silver dollars is one that appeals to a great many people but one thing to keep in mind is the appeal of old coins is often in the fact that there may be several designs from even one minting year. The difference in designs these old coins is due to the early practice that was employed of hand engraving each die thus a collector will find well over a few dozen varieties for all dates between 1795 - 1803. These early examples of coins that were struck by the United States Mint contain a certain aura about their design that has made these old silver dollars appeal to collectors.
