HISTORY: Eventually, serious coin collectors discover the original series of United States Silver Dollars. After the First Continental Congress was established in the mid 1780's, America needed a currency. The first pennies ("Flowing Hair" Liberty Chain/Wreath Large Cents) were issued in 1793. T was no paper currency until well into the 1800's. A penny went a long way back then, but a larger unit of currency was needed. The very first United States Dollar was minted in 1794 (good luck finding one of those!). The 1794 coin was the "Flowing Hair w/ Small Eagle reverse". This design continued in 1795. Later that same year (1795) the first of the "Draped Bust" Silver Dollars was minted, but still maintaining a Small Eagle reverse. read more
