My Liberty Theme Collection (Updated 12/3)

CoinAddict · March 10, 2005 12:15PM

I decided to make a nice thread with all of the differnt types of Liberty designs that I have acquired so for. I hope all of you enjoy them as much as I am.

WOW - beautiful Kiddo - great theme!

Garneteye · March 10, 2005 12:45PM

Neat! thanks for sharing

Luvdawgs · March 10, 2005 12:50PM

Very nice, CA

tbirde56 · March 10, 2005 1:11PM

Not Liberty but rather a Motherland theme.
Nice coins!

Very nice and compatable theme collection - nice examples of each!!

Here are some more to track down if you don't already have them, not as majestic, but cheap and on theme

Chile, 5 pesos -- It says Liberty! (this design was on several denoms from 1976-90, this junk box specimen is actually the only one I have

)

A similar pose from Hungary:

I'm not sure this counts fully as Liberty, but it is celebrating nationalism.. 50 years of unified Italy:

I think this might be one of those themes that will prove as never-ending as ships, eagles or lions.. but it sure will be a fun one. Good luck!

I really like the many renditions of Marianne (the older banknotes have some impressive designs too!), especially the 10 centime you have up there.. but this one cent from Indochina always eerily reminds me of the Roman coins with the emperor standing over a captive.

XpipedreamR · March 10, 2005 11:08PM

It's a very cool set! I really like it

ccrdragon · March 10, 2005 11:11PM

Cool set and great idea for a theme!

AuldFartte · March 11, 2005 12:09AM

Beautiful set ... looks like fun, too

Askari · March 11, 2005 1:30AM

Cool theme and nice coins & medals!!!

I just received a 1997 proof centennial version of your Victoria Jubilee medal -- I'd love to find an original as nice as yours!!

CoinAddict · March 11, 2005 10:37AM

Thanks for all of the comments, guys and gals. I forgot the 10 Zloytch so I just added it.

Mark, I am afraid to tell you but I do not own any medals. Maybe one of these days once I run out of coins to buy.

Nice presentation and great coins, Kyle.

Worthy of a TTT for anyone who might have missed it.

Just updated the pics to bring me up to a total of 30 different coins..

Cladiator · June 14, 2005 1:30PM

Outstanding set and theme idea man! I see we have a couple coins in common in our "themed" sets

XpipedreamR · June 14, 2005 2:08PM

It's a fine bunch of coins, and a great theme!

hyperizer · June 15, 2005 2:29AM

That's a great collection. Very cohesive.

cosmicdebris · June 15, 2005 4:44AM

Great Set

1jester · June 15, 2005 5:43AM

Magnificent set!! I love 'em. What is the grade of the Polish 1 zloty, 8th from the top? It's stunning.

CoinAddict · June 15, 2005 6:06AM

The 1 Zloty is raw. It is uncirculated with no signs of wear so I would say it is probably MS-63 or somewhere in there. It might even grade higher because there are no visible hits anywhere.

1jester · June 15, 2005 6:21AM

It's a beautiful coin, and I dare say it'd go higher than 63. Very tough in that grade, too.

CoinAddict · June 15, 2005 6:29AM

It probably would but I won't be having it slabbed and it will be staying with me for a long time so right now the grade doesn't matter.

1jester · June 15, 2005 6:39AM

I don't blame you! I'm not necessarily a sl*bophile myself, I was just curious as to the condition rarity of that coin. Anyway, I enjoy your collection and wish you much fun and success with it!

CoinAddict · June 15, 2005 6:51AM

I like slabbed coins it is just the money that it takes to get them slabbed that stops me from doing it myself. I would much rather spend the money on more coins then slabbing fees.

coinrookie · June 15, 2005 6:56AM

Beautiful set. I have been working on a similar set for about 3 years but have not really given it an official name.

Great pics, beautiful ladies!!

rhound1977 · June 15, 2005 8:34PM

A really nice topical collection......

NJMark1 · June 16, 2005 6:54AM

excellent stuff!!!!

Mark

CoinAddict · December 3, 2005 1:17PM

Updated to include 11 more.

lordmarcovan · December 3, 2005 1:23PM

Sweet!

But man, you have a long way to go, with such a theme! You'll be at it forever!

Say, that's a mighty nice-lookin' Kriegsgeld token y'have there, at bottom left... where'd ya get it?

lordmarcovan · December 3, 2005 1:23PM

Sure is a lot of eye candy there...

CoinAddict · December 3, 2005 1:27PM

I know it will take a long time but I have a long time to work with this set.

Thanks, Rob. There are a few I will probably upgrade at a later time but fo know I am just picking up whatever catches my eye.

As for the Kriegsgeld token I stole it from wildjag.

lordmarcovan · December 3, 2005 1:31PM

<< <i>I hope all of you enjoy them as much as I am. >>

Maybe if you had a li'l giveaway and spread the joy around, we could!

A great theme, generally well implemented, but I do have one question - How do real life Queens and that great emblem of Empire known as Britannia represent liberty?

CoinAddict · December 3, 2005 2:21PM

They probably shouldn't be in there but I thought the designs were pretty so I included them.

JZrarities · December 3, 2005 11:41PM

Very nice theme!

coinkat · December 4, 2005 4:58AM

Great coins... I like the 1o Lira and some of the patterns
