The Homestead National Monument in southeastern Nebraska memorializes the Homestead Act of 1862, in which President Lincoln allowed both men and women to claim their stake on land in the west. Individuals who filed for the land were given 160 acres and needed to make improvements on the land and file for a deed when finished. The Homestead Act changed with the times as technological advances made it easier to cultivate land and the government began handing out larger portions. In 1976, the Homestead Act was officially repealed.

The park itself features a monument on the exact location of the first successfully claimed land from 1862. The park also includes 100 acres of tallgrass prairie, which was fully restored to what it looked like before the homesteaders staked their claims. The park also contains over two miles of hiking trails through the prairie and woodlands. Lastly, the Palmer-Epard Cabin, built in 1867, resides 14 miles northeast of the monument and has been restored several times through the years to maintain its squared logs, earth floored downstairs and small attic.

U.S. Silver coins offer legal guarantees of quality and production for beautiful results.

U.S. Silver coins are made by the sovereign mint of the United States, which offers some extra securities. The America the Beautiful 5 oz Silver bullion created by the U.S. Mint is U.S. currency, meaning there are legal requirements for weight, purity and the amount of Precious Metals minted. The 2015 Silver coin prices also reflect collectibility value that comes with coins and is generally not present for Silver bars or Silver rounds. Silver coins for sale from sovereign mints such as the U.S. Mint, Royal Canadian Mint and Perth Mint are of a reliable high production value for beautifully detailed coins.

The collectibility of U.S. Mint Silver coins is considered differently than Silver rounds or bars.

U.S. Silver coins such as the America the Beautiful coins are said to have numismatic value, which means collector value specific to coins, paper currency and medals. Other Silver bullion like Silver rounds and Silver bars which are typically minted at private mints can have collector value but would never be considered to have numismatic value. Silver coins also typically have higher collector value because the Silver bullion coins often have more detailed designs and usually have a face value that adds to the desirability. The 2015 Silver coin prices for these coin reflect the numismatic value of these coins as well as the spot price of Silver and costs for fabrication, distribution and nominal dealer fees.
