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.

Usually, U.S. coins will be in year order, with the individual Mint marks grouped together under each year. Sometimes dealers aren't too picky about the Mint marks as long as the years are in order.

If numismatists - those expert in coin collecting and valuation � agree on one thing, it's that coins should never be cleaned. Every coin dealer has horror stories about a non-collector who comes into his shop with a box of shiny old coins. Most of the time, the coins have no numismatic (collector) value at all; they are just old but common coins. But occasionally, a rare former beauty is found in the mix. It's a former beauty because whatever value it once had has been scraped off by an excited finder and a jar of silver polish. The coin, which might have been worth hundreds or thousands of dollars, is now all but worthless.
