Exclusive cover feature: Collecting silver dollars by type

In his cover feature found only in the February monthly issue of Coin World, senior editor Paul Gilkes examines more than 200 years of silver dollars, from the 1794 Flowing Hair dollar to the American Eagle silver dollars of today.

Collecting the denomination by type is a worthy goal with most of the coins affordable to most collectors. The earliest pieces, though, will require considerable monetary resources to add to your collection.

To learn more about the many silver dollars the U.S. Mint has struck over the years, see Paul’s feature in the print and digital editions of the February Coin World.
