Some of the rarest and most valuable coins are those with manufacturing defects. Such samples are almost immediately withdrawn from circulation and end up in private collections, but not always completely.

This is why we can hear stories about the rarest coins that can be stored in our wallet. Often the differences are so insignificant that it is difficult to determine rarity by eye, but it is possible if you know the features of the issue. Today we will talk about US valuable coins, in circulation.

1969 Lincoln Cent

Feature: San Francisco plant, the legend is duplicated on the front.

A rather rare copy, immediately after its release into circulation such a defect was seized by the services of the Ministry of Finance, but after a while the error was recognized as legal.

Due to the popularity of such money, counterfeits very often appear on the market, but they all have a similar oversight. The fact is that the original coin has a split image of the entire obverse, except for the mint mark. These signs were placed separately, so they are clear.

Most fakes have a bifurcated factory mark.

Cost: minimum price 35 thousand dollars.

Lincoln Cent 1970-S

Feature: the image on the obverse is duplicated, the date is smaller than usual.

It is not difficult to identify a defect with so many differences, but you need to take a close look at the reverse, because if it received a defect similar to the front part, then such a coin will not be worth much. The easiest way to notice the duality is in the words “Freedom” and “We trust in God.”

Cost: around 3 thousand dollars.

1972 Lincoln Cent

Feature: double image of the front part, no manufacturer's mark.

The 1972 1 cent did not have a mint mark, but can be easily identified by its mint mark.

A mark is a small defect in the form of a depression that determines the type of coinage.

You can find a rare copy by looking closely at the main inscriptions, which will be duplicated, as well as at the notch above the letter D.

Price: about 500 dollars.

1999 Lincoln Cent

Feature: the letters AM on the reverse are minted widely.

A similar marriage occurs in this series from 1998 to 2000, but the 1999 1 cent is the rarest. It will not be easy to identify the coin among the others.

First you need to take magnification devices and a coin of a similar series for comparison. In a simple example, the letters AM will be close together or touching.

Rare examples have a noticeable gap between the letters when zoomed in.

Price: from 5 to 600 dollars, depending on the year, condition and color.

2004 Wisconsin 25 cents

Feature: Denver Mint Extra Leaf.

On the reverse, in the lower left corner, you can see an extra leaf on the stem. There are two types of this defect with its upper and lower location.

Cost: today from 200 to 300 dollars, but experts doubt that the price will remain at this level for long.

Feature: No mint mark.

Applying a mint mark at US factories differs from Russian ones.

In our country, the mark is part of the stamp, but in America they produce universal blanks, and the manufacturer’s mark is applied to the finished image separately.

That is why you can find rare copies in circulation without a manufacturer’s mark.

Cost: from 30 to 50 dollars.

Presidential dollars

Feature: errors in the embossing of the edge.

Launched in 2007, presidential dollar issues often have noticeable errors on the edge.

The side of these coins is represented by an inscription, which often has missing letters or the text is written twice.

If you have similar coins in your collection and you haven’t had time to look at them carefully, then it’s worth taking a look at the side; perhaps the value of the collector’s item is greater than you expected.

Cost: depending on the president to whom the issue is dedicated, such a copy can cost from $50 to $3,000.

Every nation has names and surnames unique to it. They all have some kind of roots that may indicate occupation, character traits, or famous ancestors. Below are surnames in English that, for one reason or another, have become very popular.

American names and surnames

Every nation has a certain principle according to which a person received his middle name. For example, in some countries, the city from which the man or woman was born served for these purposes. In some cases, the patrilineal method was used to indicate noble origin and a famous family. American names and surnames also have cultural traditions in this matter. It becomes difficult to track them because peoples sailed to America from various parts of the planet.

For this reason, many American surnames take their roots from Italian, Greek, Latin, or some European people. Over time, the form of the sound changed, some changes were made, and a certain historical list of popular surnames in America was formed. Some of them have a direct meaning, for example, Smith - blacksmith. Others simply sound beautiful, while others were originally a nickname. The origin of all middle names can be divided into several categories:

• those that indicate a specific occupation, profession;
• obtained from some special character traits of a person;
• religious options that were taken from the Bible;
• associated with trees, animals, natural phenomena, flowers.

Men's

If you hear male American names and surnames on the street, you will be almost 100% able to guess the person’s nationality. They went through certain stages of development and have much in common with the English variants. People from all corners sailed to the new continent and, in order to pass as Americans, they deliberately modified, shortened or altered their surnames. The most famous foreign middle names open:

• Williams;
• Smith;
• Jones;
• Wilson.

These options can be compared with the familiar ones Ivanov, Petrov, Kuznetsov, Popov. According to US statistics, there are over a million such families registered each. Other popular male surnames are:

• Young;
• Hall;
• Thompson;
• Jackson;
• Brown;
• Anderson;
• White;
• Clark;
• Davis;
• Jackson;
• Thomas;
• Harris;
• Miller;
• Garcia;
• Hernandez;
• Rodrigues;
• King.

Women's

It cannot be said that American surnames for girls are somehow different from men’s. Unlike names, you cannot choose them and there is no clear gender identity here. American surnames are devoid of gender or change of form (ending) if we are talking about a girl. For this reason, the list of beautiful, popular female middle names is the same. However, the Americans themselves identify several surnames that are more suitable for girls.

• Williams;
• Moore;

Beautiful American surnames

Citizens of Russia and America have the right to change their first and last name. Some people use this opportunity to get a more harmonious combination. Singers and actors often do this to make them more memorable. There are recognized beautiful American surnames that are different from all the others. Often their origins come from completely different peoples, professions, animals or flowers. According to Americans, the most beautiful male and female surnames are:

• Evans;
• Collins;
• Gilmore;
• Daniels;
• Moore;
• Wallace;
• Newman;
• Harris;
• Labert;
• Washington;
• Beverly.

Americans really value and respect their history, their ancestors and the legacy they left them. Family ties mean a lot to them, so their middle name is a valuable heirloom that should be protected, worn and proudly passed on to their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. This is one of the factors that makes this nation united, confident and strong.

Popular American surnames

All countries in the world keep records, population censuses, so there is accurate data about the most popular surnames in America. In first place proudly flaunts Smith, which literally means “blacksmith”. There are more than 2 million 700 thousand “blacksmiths” in the country. Slightly less popular surnames in the USA are Jhonson (Johnson, 2 million 200 thousand). Next on the list, Williams, Davis, Brown, Miller, Jones lead in approximately equal numbers (about 1 million 500 thousand).

Rare

This type includes foreign variants of middle names, which clearly indicate belonging to a particular nationality. This is not to say that these American surnames are rare, but they are much less common than others. Every person has the right to come up with any word at all that will serve as their second surname, but according to statistics, the least (less than 300 thousand) are registered in America:

• Simmons;
• Alexander;
• Foster;
• Butler;
• Russell;
• Bryant;
• Griffin;
• Hayes;
• Gonzales;
• Washington;
• Diaz.

American names. American male names and their meanings

Attention! Sites and blogs have appeared on the Internet that are not our official sites, but use our name. Be careful. Fraudsters use our name, our email addresses for their mailings, information from our books and our websites. Using our name, they lure people to various magic forums and deceive (they give advice and recommendations that can harm, or lure money for performing magic rituals, making amulets and teaching magic). On our websites we do not provide links to magic forums or websites of magic healers. We do not participate in any forums. We do not give consultations over the phone, we do not have time for this. Note! We do not engage in healing or magic, we do not make or sell talismans and amulets. We do not engage in magical and healing practices at all, we have not offered and do not offer such services. The only direction of our work is correspondence consultations in written form, training through an esoteric club and writing books. Sometimes people write to us that they saw information on some websites that we allegedly deceived someone - they took money for healing sessions or making amulets. We officially declare that this is slander and not true. In our entire life, we have never deceived anyone. On the pages of our website, in the club materials, we always write that you need to be an honest, decent person. For us, an honest name is not an empty phrase. People who write slander about us are guided by the basest motives - envy, greed, they have black souls. The times have come when slander pays well. Now many people are ready to sell their homeland for three kopecks, and it is even easier to slander decent people. People who write slander do not understand that they are seriously worsening their karma, worsening their fate and the fate of their loved ones. It is pointless to talk with such people about conscience and faith in God. They do not believe in God, because a believer will never make a deal with his conscience, will never engage in deception, slander, or fraud. There are a lot of scammers, pseudo-magicians, charlatans, envious people, people without conscience and honor who are hungry for money. The police and other regulatory authorities have not yet been able to cope with the growing influx of "Deception for profit" madness. Therefore, please be careful!

USA, 2012–2014

SELECT YEAR 2012–2014 2008–2010

USA. Country in North America. The capital is Washington. Population – 304,191,257 (2008). The dominant race (except for the state of Hawaii) is the Caucasian race (immigrants from the United Kingdom, Germany, Ireland and other European countries). African Americans, Hispanics, Asians, Indians and others account for over a third of the population. The official language (de facto) is English. Religious composition: Protestants - 51.3%, Roman Catholics - 23.9%, Mormons - 1.7%, other Christians - 1.6%, Jews - 1.7%, Buddhists - 0.7%, Muslims - 0 .6%, other unspecified – 2.5%, others not affiliated – 12.1% none – 4% (2004).

The main source for statistics on names in the United States is data from the US Social Security Administration. His website has a section dedicated to names. Name statistics are given for each year, starting from 1879. It is possible to view it in different sorting - by year, by decade, the first 10 names, the first 20, the first 50, the first 100, the first 1000, by state. The data for these statistics comes from Social Security cards. The most recent data is from 2014. As stated on the website, for the period before 1937, when only a small part of the country's population was covered by Social Security cards, the data on the choice of names is not comprehensive. It is also reported that different spellings of a name are counted as separate names. It is also noted that linking a name to gender is not always correct. This applies to names that can be either male or female and is explained by the fact that names from those Social Security cards where simply “child” or “unknown” are indicated instead of gender were also taken into account.

Here I want to show only the 25 most common names of 2014. To show the trends in the popularity of names, data for 2013 and 2012 are also provided. Each visitor to this page can find a more complete picture on the website of the US Social Security Administration (links at the end pages). I will also show the similarities and differences in the choice of names between some states. I selected the latter in such a way that the most populous states from different regions of the country were represented: Texas (south), California (west), New York (east), Illinois (closer to the geographic center).

Another interesting source for choosing names in the USA is the website of the New York City Department of Health and Human Hygiene. It contains data on the 10 most common names of newborns in the city for 1898, 1928, 1948, 1980, 1990, 2000 and 2002-2010. Also on the organization's website you can find lists of names of newborns with a frequency of 10 and above (for example, for 2009 and 2010), in which names are classified by ethnicity and race. There are four groups on that site: Hispanics (can be of any race), non-Hispanic African Americans, non-Hispanic whites, and Asians and Pacific Islanders.

German influence on American names

Der German bakers It has always been fine in the States, where fresh bread is required every day too. And because in the new world everything is rather casual, you have also omitted points in the American surname here. Also sharp ck neutralized, here in the States Baker must. Of course, the blacksmith is also very popular in German-speaking countries, maybe earlier than Blacksmith earned his bread and now also as means Schmid or Schmidt, will not be missed.
