The dozens of articles which comprise “From One to Seventy” were written by NGC Research Director David W. Lange and originally ran in The Numismatist, the monthly journal of the American Numismatic Association. Dave has now updated them all for NGC’s website.

These studies of each and every USA coin type provide a technical and aesthetic review of the design’s characteristics, and suggestions are included for locating ideal type coin examples. If you want to become more fully acquainted with America’s coinage, these articles written by someone who has handled the full spectrum of federal coin types will be invaluable. NGC is pleased to bring this resource online.

In its more than 200 years of producing coins, the United States Mint has created dozens of coin types across numerous denominations. Some of these denominations are now obsolete, the coins which represented them having long ago passed from circulation. Each, however, remains an object of great interest to collectors, yet useful information about the technical aspects of these coins and tips on selecting the optimum specimens may not easily be found in print.

Each entry featured a different type of United States coin, and Dave shares with readers his insights into the technical and aesthetic qualities that defined it, while also providing helpful tips to guide collectors in selecting examples which best represented that particular design. These columns have now been thoroughly updated and are presented here for the benefit of NGC’s customers.
