We offer a wide variety of Rare and Ancient coins. These coins range from the unique mint miss-struck Error coins that collectors highly seek after to the hand-created Ancient coins of late BC and early AD empires. We also offer a large selection of hard-to-find U.S. $1, Quarters, Dimes, Nickels, and Pennies, as well as old U.S. Currency. These items range from Sacagawea Dollars to 1899 Silver Certificates.
Rare Half Dollar Coins
Rare Half-Dollar Coins include issues with key dates, such as the Kennedy half-dollar, which the US Mint initially minted from 90% silver and which remains highly valued due to its historical significance and silver content. Collectors are particularly looking for low-mintage variants, such as the 1965 and 1966 special mintages, which stand out due to their proof-like finish despite being released for circulation. Pinehurst Coins carries a select range of these rare half-dollar coins, each authenticated to ensure quality and provenance.
United States Mint Proof Sets
A United States Mint proof set consists of one copy of each proof denomination issued in a given year, struck with mirror-like fields and frosted elements for a cameo effect. These sets, offered annually since 1936, are presented in the original government packaging and include coins such as the Proof Silver Eagle and the Proof Roosevelt Dime. Pinehurst Coins offers both current and vintage proof sets, allowing collectors to secure complete annual issues with a certificate of authenticity.
Exploring the US Mint Catalog
The official online catalog of the U.S. Mint features the full range of numismatic products, including bullion coins, commemorative coins, proof sets, and uncirculated sets. As you browse through this catalog, you find special issues like the 2024 Kennedy Half Dollar rolls and annual Proof and Uncirculated sets, all available for outright purchase or by subscription. Pinehurst Coins reflects this diversity by offering a hand-picked selection of U.S. Mint coins, including modern numismatic issues and classic bullion strikes.
Medieval Coins
Our selection of medieval coins bridges the gap between antiquity and the modern coinage era, showcasing numismatic artifacts minted in the Middle Ages. These include hammered silver denarii, gold florins, and other regional issues minted across Europe from the 5th to 15th centuries. Each coin reflects the political and religious influences of its time – from the Crusader states to the territories of the Holy Roman Empire – providing collectors with a tangible link to medieval history. Pinehurst Coins ensures that each of these medieval coins is authenticated as to its provenance and time period, providing both historical context and collector value.
