Coin collecting is a time-honored pursuit that people have enjoyed for decades and even centuries. Countless people, generation after generation, agree that there’s something special about hunting down a rare or valuable coin and finally finding it, after sometimes years of searching.

Pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, and more — we interact with them on an almost daily basis. If you’re a coin collector, you spend a lot of time working with them, studying them, and researching them.

Have you ever picked up a coin and noticed that it had a different design than normal? It could have been a dollar coin, a quarter or something else entirely.
