I am now busy with supplementing the catalog of coins with the American cents of the years not yet included in it. Then the rest will follow in due course, as soon as I can find good photos. Currently I have stayed at 1842, but more will follow in the coming days / weeks / months. In the long term it is the intention that all (or most) American coins will be included in the Catawiki catalog, including variants described in official catalogs and if possible also including colonial money and other predecessors of the federal money (read: of the Republic of the United States). This is still quite a job and it will most likely not be finished this year (not all pictures will be available on the internet, I'm afraid).

If you look, you can see that even more expensive coins have been added. In anticipation, I have already included the most expensive American currency: 20 dollars 1933. It will probably not appear in a collection for the time being, let alone in mine ;-) Of course someone can put it in his / her wish list, but if the coin is then unexpectedly offered, he / she is shocked and he / she probably cannot pay it anyway. But it's nice to have it in the catalog (keep dreaming, haha).
