A Crazy Idea? ..or, a Forum Challenge. Complete Virtual "Redbook" photo post.

It's crazy, but I'll bet this astute and frequently bored group could, if they put their minds, and coins, to work..we could post IN ORDER, examples of each type, denomination and series illustration here . It would start, as the Redbook does, with a Spanish Milled Dollar. The next post would be the Sommer Islands pieces, next, a NE Shilling and so on and do forth. OR, to do it simply Federal, starting with the 1793 half cent, next the 1794-1797 head facing right and so forth and so on.. Of course, minor illustrations and macros aren't included. In either case, we should avoid duplicate posted coins. ::: keeping it Federal I'll bet we could do this easy. SO, not having a 1793 half cent if anyone wants to start a Virtual Redbook Photo Post Thread, I offer up the idea!!

Which Red Book is to be used, 1949, 1980, 2013? Might be some differences along the way. I'll get to watch the post for a while and I'll jump in when you get to the Jefferson Nickels! Happy posting!

The links in that thread are not working for me.


We could really piss off DW and made a coinfacts thread for each coin.

the idea we tried before was a good group effort that was hosted for at least 4-5 years by forum member Solid who is no longer actively collecting or participating. at that, it was fun yet difficult to complete within the parameters we worked within. another try might be fun, also, but it'll probably be a challenge and will require dedication from both the host and whoever takes care of the picture files. at the time I started things I had lots of time on my hands.

good luck.
