Commemoratives

Rich in Historical Meaning and Beauty

Historically significant long before the conception of the United States, commemorative coins are widely popular and reflect the rich cultures of numerous civilizations.

Ancient Greeks and Romans used commemorative coins for a variety of record-keeping purposes, everything from honoring important events to relaying the daily news.

Commemorative coins’ cultural influence continues today as they play a fundamental and distinctive role in the U.S. rare coins industry. In addition to aesthetic and monetary value, each coin is deeply embedded in our nation’s history. These reasons make commemorative coins a highly promising investment option.

Valuable from the Start

Created to mark important events or provide payment for historical monuments or celebrations, commemoratives receive authorization by Congress based on the reports of congressional committees. They are often sold at prices well above face value from the moment of their introduction.
