Generally speaking, 19th century gold coins with very low original mintage figures tend to have prooflike surfaces more often than not. As an example, the 1890 quarter eagle pictured above is an issue with a mintage of only 8,720 and it is often found with reflective surfaces. Some of the other types of coins that are sometimes seen with prooflike surfaces include Philadelphia Type Three gold dollars, Philadelphia quarter eagles from the 1870's and 1880's, Three Dollar gold pieces and Liberty Head double eagles from the 1890's.

There is a large group of people who collect world paper money. Some people focus on specific countries of interest and even specific time periods in specific countries. Often interest in paper money follows an interest in the general history as well. Some collectors focus on things ranging from notes with portaits of Queen Elizibeth to notes with pictures of boats to notes with specific serial numbers (all the same digit or very low serial numbers).

1899 U.S. Silver $1. The 1899 Silver Certificate is a perennial favorite among collectors; its bold design and relative availability make it a logical choice for inclusion in many collections of silver certificates. These notes were part of the government effort to make use of the vast silver deposits of the western United States. Today most are worth between $40 and $250 depending on condition.

Why clean your car's metal to keep it looking good and well preserved and not your gold or silver coins? The difference is that non-gold coins begin to tone as soon as they are minted. That is, the metal on the surface interacts with oxygen in the air, resulting in a thin layer of discolored metal. In the case of silver coins, this toning can actually add value to the coin, as some coins tone with blue, red, or even rainbow colors that collectors find desirable. Copper coins tone as well, to differing shades of red or brown, and while they are not usually as pretty as toned silver coins, they acquire an aged and natural look that collectors expect. A nicely toned coin not only looks good (in the eyes of collectors), but the tone itself can act as a preservative, keeping the rest of the coin from undergoing a reaction to the air. Coins with a good tone should never be cleaned or polished.

When it comes to hand lenses, four or five powers of magnification seem to be the norm for many collectors. At these powers, an entire coin may be viewed all at once, which is especially useful when grading. Nevertheless, unless you are an experienced numismatist, you will not be able to see characteristics such as metal flow, die doubling, and counterfeit diagnostics on many coins when using minimal magnification. The micrograph shows the head detail of a genuine 1861-O CSA Obverse Seated half dollar. This view is close to what you would expect to see when using a 10� hand lens.
