Who created this site and why?

This site was created by Dan Hersam to provide coin collecting news and information to collectors of all experience levels. It also serves as a forum for discussion so collectors can chat about what's going in the coin collecting world. There is a complete US Coin gallery with information about US coins including the designer, metal composition, mintmark location, dates minted, edge type, circumference, weight and more.

Enjoy the site! If you have ideas for additions and/or improvements, let me know. Thanks for stopping by.

Advertising

Coincollector.org contains advertising and occasional contextual affiliate links. I make every effort to be objective, as evidenced by posts decrying false advertising when those same sites could have been used to make money through affiliate links. I value your readership and loyalty and will let you know when I learn of products or services that are bad deals, dishonest or unfair to the consumer.

All legitimate advertising requests may be submitted here.
