2025 marks the final year the U.S. will strike the “penny” for circulation. In honor, here is one of the earliest cents ever made. This stunning PCGS MS63BN Flowing Hair Large Cent is the second variety of the first cent minted under the Coinage Act of 1792.

Two dollar bills spark curiosity even outside the hobby – and pieces like the Lazy Deuce show why. As one of the earliest $2 bills printed, this note just passed through the grading room. In PCGS VF30, it now stands at the top of the pop.

Half Cents were minted from 1793 to 1857 – a denomination almost unthinkable now. This PCGS PR66BN Braided Hair Half Cent isn’t just top pop; its purples, blues, and greens also perfectly flash against its deep copper fields – leaving behind a tiny coin with a huge presence.

Silver surged to a record of $60 per ounce today, so let's take a look back at the first United States silver dollar: The 1794 Flowing Hair Dollar. With only 1,758 minted, it is believed that only 150 survive and most are heavily worn.

In PCGS XF45, this example is rare in the way collectors love it: real wear, real history, real impact. It is part of the James A. Stack, Sr. Collection and just sold for $1,020,000.
