Here is their official description:

When U.S. coin designer Victor David Brenner added his initials to this cent, uproar occurred among the public. They demanded that his rather large and conspicuous initials be removed at once from the coin. Mintage was stopped before the first year of production. His initials were eventually restored in 1918 and can be found in minute form on the rim just under the shoulder of Lincoln.

The obverse features Lincoln with the words “In God We Trust” at the top. The reverse is the familiar wheat design.

Get not one coin, but SEVEN New Orleans Mint Morgan Silver Dollars — one each from the first seven years the New Orleans Mint struck the popular coin! $649 View Item

New Orleans is known as “The Big Easy” for its laid back lifestyle, but there’s nothing laid back about the Morgan Silver Dollars struck by the famous New Orleans Mint. The only U.S. mint to be controlled by three government bodies – the United States of America, the Confederate States of America and the state of Louisiana – the New Orleans Mint minted its last Morgan in 1904.

Besides the popularity of coins struck with the New Orleans Mint’s legendary “O” mint mark, the fact that many of the Morgans struck there were destroyed in silver melts or were worn out in circulation makes O-Mint Morgans some of the most coveted in the entire series. Now you can get not one, but SEVEN New Orleans Mint Morgan Silver Dollars – one each from the first seven years the New Orleans Mint struck the popular coin!

Besides the coveted 1879-O Morgan – the first Morgan struck by the new Orleans Mint – you’ll also get the key date 1883-O, 1884-O and 1885-O Morgans, coins that were almost unheard of until the release of the U.S. Treasury Hoard in the 1960s.

Each collection comes beautifully housed in a custom presentation case and includes a storycard about the New Orleans Mint. Plus, you’ll also save by getting all seven coins now instead of buying them individually.

An American classic coin has always been the Lincoln Cent. This set includes a 1942 copper penny and 1943 steel penny, both in Superb Gem Brilliant Uncirculated MS66 condition. $75 View Item

The Lincoln Cent has been an American favorite for almost a century. But during World War II, it proved to be much more than just a “lucky penny” by helping to defeat the Axis powers. How did a simple penny do this? Through cold, hard steel, THAT’S how! By the end of 1942 the Allies were in trouble. Not on the battlefield, but in the armaments race. Copper, a valuable wartime material, was running short. This dilemma prompted Congress to authorize the striking of Steel Cents — pennies produced NOT from copper but from carbon steel. The Act was passed on December 12, 1942, and by 1943 the U.S. Mint was working overtime to produce enough steel pennies to replace the copper ones.
