Creating a fantasy IH offcenter clock set from Heritage archive images

shylockshylock Posts: 4,288 ✭✭✭
It took a lot of work, and no expense, to create this fantasy clock set.

Imagine how much work it would take to actually collect a set like this?

    Would like to see it with all same dates. image

    Have thought about doing it but never had the time/energy.

    OK, that's a good start.

    Now, make 'em all from the same date image

    Edited to add, there should be one coin in the center, one of those Indian cents struck in gold.

    i think a forum member actually has a clock like this w/ lincoln cents. im not sure who it was or if he just made it using images of other peoples coins as well. it would be a cool piece to have.

    This is the first time I've seen an IHC O/C Clock Set, even a fantasy set like this. I did see a Buffalo Nickel clock set once all 1936's. Pretty neat looking set.

    Very cool! Assuming you were the winner of all those auctions, what would the set have cost?

    "what would the set have cost?"

    Good question. About 17K, all taken from Heritage auction archive sales (as mentioned in the original post).

    That's an awesome collection of images.

    I see you nabbed all different dates (we can see) for that set.

    It's interesting that all those IH errors got mis struck on all those different angles.

    Apparently not image

    I love having nothing better to do, it's a state we should all aspire to.

    I recall seeing an actual off center Indian cent clock set like this at our local coin club a few years back.
    I don't know if he still has it....

    Forgot about this post, thanks for the TTT.

    5 & 7 o'clock are no dates, the ideal would be all dated now that I see this again...

    I remember the Buffalo nickel set, I think Stacks had it up for sale, but I can't find any listing for the auction on the web. They way they auctioned it off, they took bids for each of the twelve individual pieces first, then totaled them up and offered the entire set with the sum as the opening bid. I do believe someone ended up purchasing the set intact.
