David Hall DHNIG Flips, categorizing those little, pre-slab, sort of slab slabs ...

I've enjoyed DHNIG Flips ever since I purchased my first one some 10 years ago. I was intrigued by their different sizes, colors and labeling; so in an attempt to provide a common vernacular for those of us who like collecting Flips, I embarked on an attempt to categorize them. I came up with 9 different generations, described in the attached document.

The Census of Flips used in the document is 350+ Flips. While a respectable number, this represents a small sample space overall, and additional data and images may well require the generation definitions to be tweaked. I welcome any and all feedback, corrections, suggestions, recollections, and/or additional images of Flips not in the Census. Images of DHNIG Invoices are also helpful.

The work is mine and represents my opinions based on my experience and research. I'm not a writer, nor a numismatic professional; I penned the document simply as an aid to us Flip collectors. Lastly, many thanks to T, D and M for their contributions.

I hope you enjoy the read and find the document useful.

    @JeffersonFrog All that I can say is WOW! Really, really, REALLY nice work.

    I have cut many of these out over the years, unfortunately. If I run across any more--I am sure that I will--I will contact you. We are right in the heart of David Hall country and, as a dealer, we do get them in occasionally.

    Glad to see this posted - I've enjoyed seeing it develop and was glad to share my collection with you. It's a great resource for those of us who collect Hall flips. :+1:

    @JeffersonFrog ... What a great piece of work. While not a collector of these items, I find such studies informative, and adds to my bank of knowledge. Cheers, RickO

    It's been a couple of months, so here is my shameless plea for more Flip data. If you have Flips that aren't in the database ( Appendix B ), or if you have DHNIG Invoices, please post them here or send them to me via pm. I know they are out there (see pic below). Thank you!

    If we were all the same, the world would be an incredibly boring place.

    Cool stuff. I see mine also is a gen 4 and that it is already in your database. I bought it about 17 years ago if I’m remembering correctly

    Articles like that not only benefit the people who already DH flips, but create new collectors. I really enjoyed reading it and will be looking for any of these DH flips from now on. Thank you so much for the effort put forth and knowledge you were willing to share!
