Information & News About United States Coins
May 1st marks the second anniversary of the founding of USCoinNews.com. It has been a truly amazing experience and I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who has visited or continually visits the site. When I started this site, I was not sure what to expect. In the past, I had two very successful sites (AlliOSNews.com (now owned by someone else) and AverageAppleGuy.com (owned by me but no longer updated)) that were focused …
As we roll into the halfway point of the first week of 2021, I thought it would be an appropriate time to share some of my Numismatic goals for 2021.

I’ve toyed with the idea for a while now and want to offer – and kindly ask – this as a way to support the site. Long time readers of the …
To all of my Numipeeps who visit USCoinNews.com, a happy Labor Day weekend to all of you! I will be taking the long weekend off to spend time with close (and COVID-free) friends and family. As for us, we will be celebrating our own little Non-Oktoberfest at home and enjoying a relaxing few days off. For those who may not know the story behind Labor Day… Labor Day is a federal holiday in the United …
A bit of site news for USCoinNews readers this morning – you can now install the site as a web app on your Windows PC or Mac. I made a behind-the-scenes update that allows this now from Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge on those platforms. Technically, the feature is called a Progressive Web App, or PWA.
