HALF DIMES/NICKELS
Please call:  1-800-624-1870

The five cent denomination first appeared in United States coinage in the form of the half dime created by the Act of April 2, 1792 and was first struck at the United States Mint in February 1795 (though some were dated 1794). Half dimes would be issued in silver intermittently in 5 design types until 1873. Varieties abound in this fascinating series which offers something for everyone including common dates for the novice collector as well as extreme rarities for the specialist.
The five cent piece, or “nickel” was authorized by the Act of May 16, 1866 and gets its nickname from its copper-nickel composition. Issued in 4 design types from 1866 to date the nickel is a staple of American commerce. This series is widely collected, particularly the Buffalo and Jefferson types, and offers a vast number of interesting varieties which continue to intrigue collectors to this day. U.S. Rare Coin Investments deals in all half dimes and nickels so whether buying or selling please contact us today to discuss how we can serve you.
