    I got one hit on Chalmers coinage. That's esoteric enough that I could imagine you goin' there.

    Edit- no, maybe not... that thread was from 2008.

    Done with the Feuchtwangers? No, not really, if one of the three remaining die pairings I need shows up,....but they are R8 and R9 coins..so ...I consider my three cent set world class and complete.

    The gold dollars, they are beautiful. I love the type threes, more than the ones and twos...and actually a few have gone to new homes, many on this forum...but the core rarities and 'good ones' mostly all remain.

    but...there is something....you would be just so surprised you are not realizing it, so out in the open a common coin you all would recongnize.

    Its rare and beautiful, and not too expensive. less than 30 make the series. there is one Kick azz rarity in it, of unfathomable rarity and totally out of reach yet known to one and all.

    can you guess the coin?


    But these Vermonts...just totally an awesome series...Im not interested one iota in the Machins mills contract coins for vermont that many collect. Id just as soon tear these pages out of my book. not gonna go there. Im a Rupert fan.

    But this new thing...well, Im planning. and I see it happen. I think Hmmmmm I wonder what these sell for...then the searches, the teeny push into looking up mintages and average prices....avaliability...etc etc...and hmmm m aybe, just maybe...

    can you guess the series??

    Now Im just playing with the idea you know, but I think they would be a tremendous accent coin to the type 3 gold dollar set, when all laid out on the coffee table.

    and yes, the subject on only ONE thread on this forum, hence, esoteric enough for my tastes.

    And I was getting ready to make another wrong guess: proof Trade dollars. In any event, proof Barber dimes will be interesting. Keep us posted as you start your purchases.

    Out of curiosity, is there an easy way to distinguish the Machisn Mills from the Rupert issues?

    Tom

  • ambro51ambro51 Posts: 13,817 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Yes. All the landscapes, the baby heads and the bust lefts were made in Rupert Vermont. All the remaining issues, any dated 1787 or 1788, they were struck under the authority of vermont as contract pieces from Machins Mills in Newbergh New York. They are 'full vermonts' in most senses, but the entire harmony of the coin is different in many ways. the copper is different, the style of bust, front and back, lettering, quality of design...all a different animal. the machins mills issues are usually better copper but lighter in weight. they are more prone to splits than the ruperts, as they are more prone to fissures and voids. Both can have either defect though on occasion. machins mills issues, with a few exceptions, usually were struck to look worn. the planchets were tumbled after production to produce rounded edges. They wanted their coins to look oldish, and britishy..and pass without questions (too many questions, as they are light in weight and easily noted). The landscapes, they were lovely, but seemingly were difficult to put into circulation as Harmon had the legislature approve a change to the design to a bust with seated figure.

    I find the Rupert issues lovely in their rustic conditions....the machins mills issues, all flat and worn....just cant get a visual handle on the gobs of teeny variations between the types, and I usually thrive on that sort of stuff but they are just not pushing any buttons at all.
