  • On average, a typical circulated 1922 Peace Dollar will net you around $25-30 dollars today. I sold the one pictured above recently on eBay.

Winter & Spring Hummingbird Migration

    Many hummingbird species spend their winters in Mexico and Central America. In the Spring, when the temperatures begin to rise, they migrate North. Around this time of the year, a lot of the United States will notice an increase in the prevalence of hummingbirds. You may notice more hummingbirds as early as February. According to the U.S. National Park Service, the Spring Hummingbird migration is closely related to when native plants begin to flower.

More Spring Hummingbird Migration Information

    Hummingbird wings can flap their wings up to 80 times per second and fly up to 23 miles in a single day! They travel during the day when it is easy to spot flowers and other food sources like insects. According to the U.S. National Park Service a hummingbird's heart can beat up to 1,260 times per minute. It is not uncommon for a hummingbird to double its weight before migration.

Summer & Fall Hummingbird Migration

    As the temperatures begin to fall, many hummingbirds migrate to areas of warmer temperatures. The Rufous Hummingbird travels up to 3,000 miles from Alaska to Mexico in the summertime, which is the longest known migration route. Unfortunately, the Rufous Hummingbird is listed as 'Near Threatened' due to habitat loss.
