The following coins cannot be owned privately as they are in museums, often the Smithsonian but one is in the ANA.

  4. 1866 Willis du Pont No Motto Seated Liberty Half Dollar
  5. 1974 Aluminum Cent (1 known)
  6. 1974-D Aluminum Cent (1 known)

2. Unique, can be owned privately

  1. 1787 EB Punch on Breast Brasher Doubloon (unique, others have punch on identical location on wing)
  2. 1870-S Half Dime (1 known, 1 assumed in SF Mint building)
  3. 1870-S William H. Woodin, Harry W. Bass Jr. $3 Princess (1 known, 1 assumed in SF Mint building)
  4. 1873-CC Eliasberg No-Arrows Dime (unique)

    The 1870-S $3 is privately owned by the Bass family and/or its foundation. It is currently on loan to the ANA for display in their museum.

    1870-S H.10, also unique, is privately owned.

    Good point. Actually, it seems like a lot of patterns are unique so they may have to be listed separately.

    The only 'unique' coin I have is a parking lot cent.... :D ... No numismatic premium, but no other coin just like it... ;) Seriously though, how cool to own a 'one of a kind' coin... Cheers, RickO

    They lost the corner stone so the entire thing is speculation. Now the CC corner stone they actually opened it up and found coins before sealing it back up or so I believe the story goes.

    The 1874 SF Mint building is still standing, so I'm not sure how the cornerstone would have been removed.

    2007 thread:
    https://forums.collectors.com/discussion/614963/old-san-francisco-mint-cornerstone
    I think the most helpful post on the thread notes that since the building has a basement,
    the cornerstone is probably below the floor level of the basement and not easily inspected or scanned at present time.
    Although it's not easily seen or "found", I don't think this implies it does not exist.
    It did exist at one time according to the newspaper report in May 1870, so my thought is that it would have
    to be removed to change this state of affairs.

    I'm going to spend some time to rework this thread.

    I think unique coins need to be categorized by:

    1. regular issue date/mm
    2. regular issue variety
    3. pattern
  • GoBustGoBust Posts: 595 ✭✭✭✭✭
    1. Unique in proof format?
  • GoBustGoBust Posts: 595 ✭✭✭✭✭

    There are many many more unique patterns. E.g. 1794 no stars dollar pattern. The many other unique patterns just aren't very famous and they're often very moderately priced. So rare there isn't really much of a competitive market for them.

    The Snow-1 die pairing is unique in copper. There are about a dozen known in Copper-Nickel but weirdly they are worth more grade for grade, because they aren’t classified as “patterns”

    Should the Brasher Dubloon be classified as a U.S. coin? It was manufactured outside of the U.S. Mint (before the establishment of the U.S. Mint) privately by a goldsmith. It does not contain the wording "United States of America nor the denomination. I personally call it a token and since the goldsmith's initials appear to be counter stamped on it just like he did with his silverware it is more of a sample of his work or a calling card intended to be used as a item of money to be used in trade.

    Please add a note to the 1976 No S Proof Ike that it is a Type Two. I handled it while I was still with Coin World.

    And when we (CW) received the press release about the sets of coins presented to the three Bicentennial coin designers and a representative of President Ford, the accompanying pictures of the coins clearly showed PROOF COINS WITHOUT MINT MARKS! The Dollar coins were of course Type One.

    When I was preparing a set of these pictures for inclusion in The Coin World Almanac, I noticed this omission and brought it to the attention of Editor Margo Russell. She said that she would call the Mint Director and ask her. Later Margo told me that the Mint Director told her that all of the no mint mark coins had later been returned to the Mint and replaced with normal S-mint 40% Silver Proofs.

    Thanks Mike for the excellent “Provenance and Price History” of the No S Ike (also Unique in being the only Ty 2 Proof Silver Dollar struck for the 1976 Bicentennial of our country). In the roughly (22) years since my purchase of the coin, I believe I only brought it over to PCGS the one time immediately following the 2002 Auction as Rick Montgomery (then President of PCGS) wanted to take some pictures of the coin and (if memory serves me right) add a new Judd number to the Insert Tag as he personally believed the coin to be a “Presentation Piece”. At that time, I believe he also added the Cameo to the grade.

    Thank you CaptHenway as well.

    Well said. The one I pick up with my donation the the Harry Bass Foundation was the J598 3$ piece struck in silver (PF61). I had posted this piece on a prior occasion but it never gets old for me to do so.

    I would not call this piece inexpensive, however relatively speaking, I feel it was considering it is currently the only one in private hands (Mine). The other piece is noted on USPattren,com is the Byron Reed Collection, owned by the City of Omaha, Nebraska and on loan to the Durham Museum.

    If it had not made it way through the basement of the Egyptian Palace of King Farouk, it most likely would have been a higher grade , but then again the cost would have been proportionally higher - but the rarity remains unchanged.

    The 1976 No-S Ike may be unique but it has (at least) 2 TrueViews! I love TrueViews and have come across first one today so it's great to always see something new for me!

    Wonderful coin and history! Thanks @CaptHenway, @Byers, @wondercoin!

    Given that the Mint replaced them with normal S-mint coins, this does this indicate that the Mint thought they were errors which they fixed?

    Do we know how many others there were?

    Too bad. Seems like the coins had an interesting distribution given that the Lustig-Spivack specimen was discovered in a "Woodward and Lathrup Department store in the Washington District area".

    That's the benefit of having multiple photos of the same coin over time. Here's the coin in a 2009 photo from Legend when they sold it for a NJ lawyer, with the TrueView for comparison. The TrueView may be from the Bender era, though I think it had the same toned look when sold from the Simpson collection.

    It's difficult to tell from just the photos but perhaps we can ask Laura as she handled the coin at both times.

    The lighter appearing tone does, however, seem to support Tom's recollection.

    Judging only from images, the colorful TV has the look of the other coins that have over exaggerated TVs. I would venture to guess the coin’s actual appearance falls somewhere between the two, lighting being the primary culprit.

    No luck. Looks like the original thread may have been thread id 628993. If so, it seems to have been deleted. Not sure if the thread or photos can be recovered, but it may be worth checking.
