Off center clock sets

shylock

I love Sonofa gunks' off center Lincoln collection posted on the most recent "Copper for the Weekend" thread.
He could put a nice clock set together with these examples!




Off center clock sets intrigue me, ever since I saw a Buffalo nickle example at a Baltimore show exhibit.
Do any of you guys have one?

I once put together a PhotoShop off center IH clock set...stolen from Heritage auction lot error images

I'd be very proud to own a set like this.

I think he can put a few sets together with his complete o/c set.

I've been looking for one of those Capital Plastics clocks to put some of my off centers in. Can't seem to find any. I saw Fred W. won one off eBay a couple of weeks ago. It was neat, but I was too little too late.

I have seen a few of these in the past. A real neat way to display such a collection.

There are a bunch on ebay right now (no coins, just the clock holders).

Check the Error section on Ebay now.

Someone has a nice variety of 3-layer Plastic holders
for Clocks of Errors - very reasonable at $20-$25 each.

I don't have the sellers name handy, but under Errors,
just punch in "Clock", or Plastic Clock, etc., and you should
find 'em easily.

Seems like something you could do with a drill, 3 sheets of plexiglass and a cheap clock motor and hands.

Also, Fred Weinberg (I think it was him) use to have a clock for sale on his site made of FOLD OVER stuck cents. It was in the $11K range. It was VERY cool looking

One of the local dealers has been displaying a clock of Kennedy halves at recent shows. It's a neat set.

I sold the Clock of Fold-Over Cents just last month.

It was a unique item, and I was a bit sad to part with it,
but that's what we do with inventory.

I've been buying plastic clock sets over the years (with
the errors in them), cause they look great, and are actually
kind of difficult to put together these days.

The largest "Clock" I have, and have ever seen, came out of
an Error-A-Rama many many years ago......

It has 120 holes for 1964 Off Center Nickels - about 3.5 feet by 3.5 feet.

The 120 Nickels are in a 2x2 box, and I'm just waiting to find the time
to dis-assemble the plastic, and put the coins in it...Should look great,
when I do it....(maybe I'll try to do for the 2009 Los Angeles ANA)

120 nickels!

That is a huge clock Fred.

jonathanb

So that would be 12 clock positions, then 10%, 20%, 30%... etc off-center in each position? Yeah I think that would look great, to say the least.

1964 is probably the only year where it could be done...

LALASD4

1999 would be possible also.

This clock sold on ebay 5 weeks ago.

Why not just drill the hole for the clock a 1/2-inch off-center? Then glue the cents around. That way you'll have your off-center coin clock.

ricko

Those are quite unique... I had not seen them before... Cheers, RickO

This was an amazing set of fold-overs...

I can't wait to see the clock of 120 1964 nickels...too cool.

Fred has the greatest toys!
