    I used to be somebody, now I'm just a coin collector.

    Are they contemporary or modern?

    I recognize the portrait on the first piece.
    That's governor Clinton.
    I also see Groucho's duck perched on the Seal of New York.

    This must be a joke thread. Aren't these among the rarest and most well knowmn designs? I have seen the first, know darn well the second "Nova " something? and the third I am certain I know from -something?

    Edited to add George Clinton looks a lot funkier onstage.

    Is that middle piece a rare 19th century cast in silver from the Garrett Nova Constellatio quint? Why, I've only ever seen one of those!

    That New England shilling was among the first ever coins produced in the US i believe , the modern fakes were commen on ebay , usually under metal detecting finds.

    Yes, these were acquired knowing they were copies. Was just having some fun this morning. image

    There are some coins that are so rare, that getting a well made copy is the next best thing.

    I don't know exactly by whom or when these were made but hope to find out more in the near future.

    As JK notes, the quint was made in the 19th century, cast in silver instead of an electrotype.

    The Gov. Clinton piece is a copper electrotype. Not sure exactly when it was made.

    The NE shilling was a gift but not sure exactly when it was made either.

    If anyone knows the makers names or dates made, a reply or PM would be appreciated. image
