    Superb pix and research . . . . . but I am just a little confused . .

    I was looking, and saw the 3CN (208) in a pic above. It is sitting in my hand now . . . and has been for several years (boy, my hand is tired). I was thinking these pix are sent . . . .to add to the Census, but I am seeing a variety of them already listed, as I own them and have recorded them.

    Also . . .I am wondering . . are these just ancient auction records of coins which (most likely, but not certainly) have been cracked and no longer reside in a Doily . . . . or do we need to radically evaluate our thoughts of Doily 'Type' and hunt down and accost the owners of these rarer (Barbers--Patterns) in order to get them to the Census or to actual Doily colectors???

    Hmmmm . . . not sure what to make of these. I LOVE them . . . but are they truly Census coins residing in Doily holders . . .or are the cracked ex-Doily slabs now under 12 feet of landfill at the county dump???

    Not sure of the current status of these coins. Just wanted to make sure they were in the Census. i know I duplicated at least one and some were already listed in the census. The photos are great to see from their archives.

    No sweat . . . .

    The pix are invaluable!

    The first post will show the Census Certnumbers . . . . . all is good. I just went to the post and saw a few of my better Type pieces there . . .did not ever have pix of them though! They look super !!

    I think that was original thought. I defer to Lakes for the final determination, but unless someone comes forward with these as being current "in the holder" or they are confirmed by any means to Lakes or myself, I think they are great pieces of history, but it would not be accurate to present them as current Doily holders. They represent some of the better Doilies of the past, but there are several of us who would certainly know if some of those special Doilies still existed in someone's collection. The purpose of the Census to is represent what is still extant. That, after all, is the end goal . . . . .what is still available out there ?

    Admittedly . . . there will probably be some super Doilies still to emerge from Gramp's safety deposit box . . . but we can really only represent the Census as current holders, confirmed (as best we can) as existing from the moment we record them.

    But the pix are exciting. Wouldn't it be super of some of those actually emerged . . . . . . . .

    and ended up in my collection?

    If any cert number can't be validated by PCGS CertVerification, most likely, it has been cracked out and no longer in its Doily holder. These definitely cannot be included in census.

    Agree with earlier posts - this census is meant to be a current census of Doily holders.

    It will always be a work in progress as there will need to be occasional checks to be sure the cert. numbers are still valid.

    Have added the coins posted above in the last 1-2 months that I've verified with PCGS cert. verification to the census - a few were already in the census. Will update the spreadsheet on page 1 at the end of the month.

    Thanks for posting the great type coins - too bad many have been cracked out of their classic Doily holders. :'(

    Will do some spot checking of cert numbers to keep the census current.

    Earliest Walker in the census by far showed up on eBay. Looks familiar for some reason.....

    Thought it looked familiar - wonder how I avoided putting it in the census?? :D

    This one ended without a sale on Ebay.


  • Feel free to add this SLQ to your census. It is also up for grabs on eBay - anyone have an idea of the value???

  • LakesammmanLakesammman Posts: 17,361 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Your pictures of the SLQ doily are different than those on eBay - where did you get them??

    Not many SLQs in the Census . . . just goes to show that ultimately, the Doily Type people will be looking for the really esoteric stuff . . . .like Kennedys . . . Warnicks . . .etc. The stuff that no one would have routinely slabbed back in the Doily era . . . . . .

    I feel very fortunate to own the one of the 1926-D SLQ Doily holders!

  • LakesammmanLakesammman Posts: 17,361 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I really hadn't thought of trying to collect all 3 types until this one appeared - hopefully they got more than we would have been willing to bid.

    This sample sold yesterday with a 1959 Dime in the sample holder. Most of these are the 1964-D.

    I offered $200 on the 1959 Sample, they countered with $250, then someone else got it. Seems like a reasonable price.

    Edit:

    On WatchCount, it went for $230.

    A Doily is listed at CRO. It is not part of your census on Page 1.

    New addition as of 10/14/17 . . . .

    Iowa Commem . . . . MS65 . . . . 7345533. Picked it up here locally in SLC after it was brought down from Portland, OR by a dealer.

    Nice holder . . . nice coin. Typical Iowa . . . higher grade than the slab, but no biggy. Maybe to CAC just for fun, but it is irrelevant.

    First Iowa in the Census . . .
