Grove Minting Company - trying to assemble a full set of Jared's work

ZoidMeister

It can be difficult to complete any series of coins or exonumia pieces, but the opportunity exists with Jared Grove's commemorative pieces.

I started on the journey of trying to assemble a full collection of his strikes about a year ago. The most difficult and elusive of collecting his work is assembling a full compliment of the 2015 4-Piece Thaler / 48 Shillings Commemorative set.

Acquiring the Golden and Silver Thalers is fairly easy, but the Copper and Nickel with only 50 strikes each produced, requires a lot of searching and even more good fortune.

I've had the Golden and Silver for several months now, however recently the numismatic gods were smiling on me and I was able to secure one of each of the copper and nickel strikes as well.

I only have the two silver 2017 Gasparro 1977 Liberty Dollars and the 2019 Coiled Hair 1879 Gold Stella to acquire to complete the full series.

Saving my nickels ardently for that 2019 Stella.

Anyone else collect Grove Minting pieces?

I do have a budgetary plan to get the Stella. I just need to find some folks who have the silver 1977 Liberty Dollars they would be willing to re-home. The 2017 pieces were another hole in the collection until I ran across the nickel version recently.

At only 50 minted each, the 2015 copper and nickel Thalers were the most challenging to acquire.

That is the nice one. I was lucky to get these.......The member here must have felt sorry for me and sold me some.

Thanks for sharing. I had never looked into them but have seen them on GC often. It seems that someone is trying to sell them but has the opening bid too high. They just keep rolling over. I like those a lot and the Stella on the site looked nice as well.

Leave at least ONE for me. It will probably be December before I can pull the trigger on one.

You may know this already, but in case not ...

I produced the Grove Minting "Stella" and their recent "1955 Double Die" offerings on commission.
I have documented both in my "other" catalog page:

Yes sir,

And that is one of the main reasons I started diving into his stuff, doncha know . . . . .

I probably need to send him a bill for "marketing" . . . . . . LOL.

I just hope he doesn't sell out before I can get one.

I really want one of the Stellas that you did @dcarr

Patience and hope and maybe some luck too.

I am the proud owner of the 55 and I love it! It makes me dizzy to look at 😊

Thanks again

Now I’m off to look at your catalog. 😉
