Please welcome a new coin collector - Update in first post
MidLifeCrisis
Posts: 10,519 ✭✭✭✭✭
After almost a year since I sold my collection, I am building a new one.
However, I am doing things a little differently this time:
- I'm taking my time and being even more selective than I was before.
- I'm no longer participating in the Registry.
The new collection I am building is....drumroll...World Coins Which Circulated in Early America!
This collection can include coins such as:
Spanish Colonial Cobs in one half, one, two, four and eight Reales denominations
Spanish Milled Coins (thru 1800) – including Pistareens, Pillars and Bust coins in one half, one, two, four and eight Reales denominations
Spanish gold in one half, one, two, four, and eight escudo denominations
Dutch Lion Dollars, Ducatoons (or Silver Riders), and Rix Dollars
English Hammer Struck Coins – Gold Five Guineas, Two Guineas, Guinea, Half Guinea, Silver shilling, sixpence, groat, threepence, half groat, penny, halfpenny, Copper farthing
English Milled Coins – Gold Five Guineas, Two Guineas, Guinea, Half Guinea, Silver Crown, Half Crown, Shilling, Sixpence, Fourpence, Threepence, Twopence, Penny, Copper Halfpenny and Farthing
Irish Regal Coppers – Halfpenny and Farthing
French Coinage produced for Canada and Louisiana
I will concentrate at first on:
Lion 1/2 and Lion Dollar
Pistareen
Pillar denomination set, any mint and monarch
Big Nose Charles III denomination set, any mint
Charles IIII denomination set, any mint, all pre 1800
Escudo denomination set, any mint and monarch
1749 Great Britain 1/4d and 1/2D
1776 Gold Guinea
Dutch Gold
Le Chameaux Gold and Silver Types

A collection of coins that only you CHERRYPICK! That will slow the building of the set...of CHERRYPICKED COINS! With some of them being Mercury Dimes hopefully.

Recipient of the coveted "You Suck" award, April 2009 for cherrypicking a 1833 CBHD LM-5, and April 2022 for a 1835 LM-12, and again in Aug 2012 for picking off a 1952 FS-902.
I'll guess that you will be working on a fabulous set of SBA dollars--short and sweet (OK, maybe not the latter)
Did you keep your numismatic reference collection, or will you need to rebuild it?

All slabbed...all the time.

No there's not...but no.
It's these, right? You're about to embark on the challenge of a lifetime as you scour the world for a single attractive example of a Shriver. There just has to be one out there...

Welcome Back.
Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.
<< <i>Since your last collection was a Mid Life Crisis... Will this one be a Over The Hill attempt
Whatever it is is, I hope that you enjoy the heck out of it.
Can you give us a hint? Is it US or dark side?
I think non-US coins that circulated here in colonial times would be cool.
