8-20-11>>> The 1851 Liberty Seated dollar has one of the lowest mintage for both the series and the denomination at just 1,300 pieces.

Why are coins different colors?
Today different colors are used to make it easier to identify coins that are similar in size but with different denominations. That practice is inherited from a time when coins had to be made of metal that was worth roughly the same as its denomination. For example, a US dollar contained about $1 worth of silver, a British pound contained about £1 worth of silver, etc. Copper was used for low-denomination coins because it's inexpensive, silver was used for intermediate-denomination coins, and gold was used for high-denomination coins. Today many countries imitate that pattern by using copper or copper-plating for low-value coins, silver-colored alloys for middle denominations, and gold-colored alloys for high-value coins.

Modern American Eagle coins have their purity displayed right on the back of each piece. It's one ounce of 999 fine silver.

What transition elements are considered to be coinage metals?
Copper, Silver and Gold are the traditional "coinage metals". However many modern coins around the world contain nickel because it's relatively inexpensive and very resistant to wear. Low denomination coins are often made of plated steel or zinc, while brass alloys are used to give higher-denomination coins a golden appearance.
What is the value of a silver dollar with the eagle dated 1851?
If it's genuine, between $6000 and $30,000. But there are many counterfeits so any 1851 dollar should be taken to a professional for authentication. BTW, ALL $1 coins are legally required to have an eagle on the back so that's not a distinguishing characteristic.

How many cents are in a US nickel?
A US nickel has a denomination of 5 cents. Technically the coin is called a five-cent piece. The name "nickel" is from slang that was used in the 19th century to distinguish coins that had the same denomination but were made out either silver or cupronickel alloy. Eventually all of them were discontinued except for cupronickel 5-cent coins, and the name stuck.

Are there any new coins that contain mostly silver?
No country currently mints silver coins for circulation. The price of silver is determined by the free market and changes daily. It would be impossible to put a denomination on a circulating silver coin because its value in silver could exceed its face value*. However many, many countries mint special bullion coins that contain silver. These coins are sold to collectors and investors at prices that depend on the current price of silver metal. A lot of them are marked with artificial denominations to meet legal requirements but their metal value is very different. For example, a US "silver eagle" coin carries a $1 denomination but contains 1 oz. of silver metal which at various times has gone for anywhere from $12 to nearly $40. (*) That's exactly what happened in the 1960s when silver prices were deregulated. Silver-based coins suddenly became worth more than their denominations ("face values"). In the US and Canada people could go to a bank, get a roll of 40 silver quarters for $10 and then sell them to a metal dealer for 10 or 15 times that amount. The governments were effectively paying people to melt coins! In the US so many dimes, quarters, and halves disappeared into melting pots that it was common to receive change only in nickels and pennies.
