[bsshog40]

I'm guessing if just MS coins - $80.11

If you include proof coins also, my guess would be- $119.52

 

Have a Merry Christmas Lisa!

1900 Cent = $0.01

1900 Nickel = $0.05

1900 POS Dimes = $0.30

1900 POS Quarters = $0.75

1900 POS halves = $1.50

1900 POS dollars = $3.00

1900 quarter eagle = $2.50

1900 PS half eagle = $10.00

1900 PS eagle = $20.00

1900 PS double eagle = $40.00

Regular circulating coinage total = $78.11

 

If you also include the 1900 Lafayette dollar commemorative, the total would be $79.11. Fun question!

[HiHoAudio]

Not counting proofs as separate from business strikes and the two error coins (1900 Liberty Head nickel with double die reverse, 1900-O over CC Morgan variety) I get the following:

 

1900 Indian Head Cent .01

 

1900 Liberty Head Nickel .05

 

1900 Barber Dime .10

1900-O Barber Dime .10

1900-S Barber Dime .10

1900-S Barber Half Dollar .50

 

1900 Morgan Dollar 1.00

1900-O Morgan Dollar 1.00

1900 Liberty Head Eagle 10.00

1900-S Liberty Head Eagle 10.00

 

1900 Liberty Head Double Eagle 20.00

1900-S Liberty Head Double Eagle 20.00

 

and the one some of you forgot...

 

1900 Lafayette Commemorative Dollar 1.00

 

For a total of $79.65, which was quite a bit of money at the time.

[dan8402]

$78.11

[coinman23885-migration]

Presuming that you are not counting Philadelphia mints twice (i.e. both proof and business strike), the total cost would be $78.11 not counting the Lafayette dollar coin (the wording of your question makes me think that you are discounting it). I also excluded the 1900 O/CC Morgan Dollar which is technically New-Orleans mint, but arguments can be made to separate it in a category to itself. If you count proofs add another $39.41.

 

Summary

Cent, Nickel MS $0.06 PF $0.06

Dime, Quarter, Half PF $0.85

Philadelphia MS $0.85

New Orleans MS $0.85

San Francisco MS $0.85

Dollar (Morgan) MS $3.00 PF $1.00 (not counting O/CC)

Gold MS $72.50 PF $37.50

Commemoratives (if counted) $1.00

 

$79.11 counting Lafayette MS $39.41 Proof

[CBC]

A complete set of circulating coins would total $78.11, BUT...there is also the commemorative Lafayette $1 which would bring the total to $79.11. (The 1900 O/CC silver dollar is a variety of the officially minted 1900-O dollar, not another mint).

 

1c, 5c, and $2.50 - Philadelphia mint only

10c, 25c, 50c, and Morgan $1 - Philadelphia, San Francisco, New Orleans

$5.00, $10.00, and $20.00 - Philadepphia and San Francisco

Lafayette $1 - Philadelphia only

 

[mhardin2413]

oops, i mis-read the question:

1c: 1=.01

5c: 1=.05

10c: 3 (P,O,S) =.30

25c: 3 (P,O,S) =.75

50c: 3 (P,O,S) =$1.50

$1: 3 (P,O,S) =$3

$1 (Lafayette): =$1

$2.50: 1 (P) =$2.50

$5: 2 (P,S) =$5

$10: 2 (P,S) =$20

$20: 2 (P,S) =$40

 

total = $74.11

[HiHoAudio]

Lisa, please post the answer to this question.

[L1ncolnF4n]

Will we ever get an answer?

[Brian O-migration]

$1, $5, $2.50, $10, $20 - gold

$25, $50, $100 - platinum/gold

.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5 - currency

 

48.50 + 175 + 0.91 = $224.41

 

I don't believe there were any strange denominations for commemorative issue coins.

[LISA B]

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!! SORRY FOR THE DELAY PLEASE FORGIVE ME ........

[coinman23885-migration]

I guess your counting the 1900 Morgan and Lafayette as one coin.
