Collections of Old Silver Dollars 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. Evolution of the Silver Dollar Mint Beginning in 1792 the United States was allowed to produce silver dollars for use as legal tender. When the paper dollar came into existence some years later the use of dollar coins became obsolete with periods when the US mint didn't even strike any coins larger than the half dollar. History of the Old Silver Dollar Most people are familiar with the term silver dollar and know that the term is used to identify any large white metal coin that is minted in the United States whose face value is equivalent to one dollar. Although the coin may not necessarily contain silver some people are of the belief it is not truly a silver dollar unless it contains at least some of the silver metal rather than its only resemblance to silver being that of its color. You will also find some gold and multi-colored dollar coins Memorabilia From the Silver Dollar Hotel So prominent was the silver dollar at various points in history that there are many different hotels that bear the name. In addition to the Silver Dollar Hotel you will also find bars and other establishments bearing the same name. Of course, the concept of the original Silver Dollar Hotel has changed over the centuries though remnants of its past remain. Today you may not find the same sights at that once existed but you will find many different types of memorabilia such as matchbook covers, drawings and even brothel coins. Peace Silver Dollars - A History and Resource Peace silver dollars are interesting coins with a story behind them. The coins where designed to help symbolize the longing in the nation, which was just pulling out of World War I. The war was long and the loss was great. People just wanted peace, which is why the Peace coin was popular during its early creation.
