Bicentennial Coinage In 1975 the Bicentennial Coinage Program was introduced. The Quarter, Half Dollar and Dollar were all changed to include the dual date 1776-1976 and the reverse designs were also changed. These coins were struck in 1975 and 1976 which explains why no 1975 dated quarters, halves or dollars exist. These coins are all very common, with hundreds of millions of pieces struck. With this in mind it is safe to say that you can spend your bicentennial coinage.

Buffalo Nickels Due to the design elements on the Buffalo Nickel, the date wore off on the coin very quickly. A significant factor in a coin's value is the date, mintmark and condition. A dateless buffalo is not only low in condition, but also lacks a date by which to value it. Buffalo Nickels without a date are not in demand from collectors at all. Buffalo Nickels contain no silver, however those with 4 good date numerals can be worth more than face value depending on year and condition.

Wheat Cents The term Wheat Cent refers to the design used on the reverse of the Lincoln Cent from 1909-1958. Most wheat cents are very common and were produced by the millions and even billions. Currently, common date wheat cents carry a very small premium. Be on the lookout for the 1909-S, 1909-S V.D.B. (The designer's initials that appear at the bottom of the reverse), 1914-D, 1931 S and the 1922-D with no mintmark below the date. These four dates carry a nice premium if you have one. Wheat cents can be a good start to a youngsters' collection.

Steel Cents In 1943, the production of our one cent coin went through a major change. Copper and its availability was liited. It was decided to change from copper to steel coated with zinc for the 1943 cents. In 1944, the production of the copper cent resumed. Over one billion 1943 steel cents were produced, making this a very common coin.
