Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Modern Numismatic Masterpieces collection?
This exclusive collection is curated by Stephen Pfeil, founder of Global Coin and author of 'Modern Numismatic Masterpieces: U.S. Coins of the 20th and 21st Century.' It features the most significant modern U.S. coins handpicked for their exceptional artistry, conditional rarity, and proven investment merit.
What criteria make a coin a 'Modern Numismatic Masterpiece'?
Each coin is selected for a combination of exceptional design, historical importance, low population in top grades, and strong collector demand. These represent the pinnacle of U.S. Mint craftsmanship from 1900 to the present — the coins that define modern American numismatics.
Is there a book about the coins in this collection?
Yes. Stephen Pfeil's book 'Modern Numismatic Masterpieces' is the definitive reference for 20th and 21st century U.S. coins. It covers the artistry, investment potential, and stories behind each featured coin — essential reading for collectors serious about building a world-class modern collection.
How limited is the inventory in this collection?
By definition, these are rare coins with very low populations in top grades. Many feature exclusive Global Coin labels, and inventory is limited to what we can source from our vetted network. When a specific coin sells, it may take months — or years — to find another comparable example.
