1792 Disme in Silver - Just graded by PCGS! 1/13/15 Important Update in first post

1/13/15 Update

Unfortunately a Stack's Bowers representative told me at FUN that after consulting with many experts - the coin is an Electrotype and has been removed from the PCGS holder and the Kendal collection sale

First example of Judd 9 graded by PCGS!

Not my coin.

PCGS AU 55!

MrEureka · October 18, 2014 1:20PM

Not mine either.

VanHalen · October 18, 2014 1:24PM

Nice! That looks like George Washington's silver in there!

kaz · October 18, 2014 1:57PM

That disme makes me dizzy. (with adoration)

joebb21 · October 18, 2014 2:10PM

That coin is amazing!

<< That disme makes me dizzy. (with adoration) >>

Yes, I was thinking that

Hmmmmmmm, I wish I could pluck it out of my monitor

blu62vette · October 18, 2014 2:20PM

Insane.

valente151 · October 18, 2014 2:25PM

Very cool coin! I love the 1792 patterns!

I can't recall seeing a silver ever, but the example of J-10 (The copper version of this coin) in the Smithsonian is a beast, one of the highlights of my vault trip this summer!

To date, this was one of the highlights of the boards for me. Thank you again for sharing

TwoSides2aCoin · October 18, 2014 3:55PM

Don't really have much use for the suffix "zer" with our English language, But that is a WOWZER of a coin.

yosclimber · October 18, 2014 5:21PM

Nice coin - thanks for sharing.

coindudeonebay · October 18, 2014 9:19PM

Beautiful coin but hard to view that large. Here's a smaller version.

EastonCollection · October 18, 2014 9:50PM

Thus us my #1 favorite coin of all time! Thank you for sharing it with me. A true National treasure from every which way!

luckybucks · October 18, 2014 9:54PM

Great coin and a miracle of survival !!

JohnHarper · October 18, 2014 11:17PM

There were previously three known examples of Judd-9. This does not match any of them. I am guessing this is the Kendall Foundation coin. I would like to know the certification number.

Wow!

Lol, not mine either...

Excellent!

GOOD GOSH ALMIGHTY, BEAUTIFUL !!!!!

I'd like to hear the story on how that scratch got on the cheek of Lady Liberty.

AMRC · October 19, 2014 12:17AM

Wow. I would love to in cover one of these in some old hoard.

Pistareen · October 19, 2014 12:39AM

It's not mine either, but at least I get to play with it.

This is the Kendall Foundation coin, to be sold by StacksBowers in March 2015. It's a totally new example. It was acquired privately from Stack's in June 1975 on the same day as the magnificent Birch cent.

It will be offered with 6 NE shillings, an NE sixpence (a real one!), a literal fistful of Willow Trees, a Silver Center cent, well over 100 pieces of additional Mass silver, other notable colonial rarities (many plated in Crosby and other standard references), an original CSA half, and some other fun things. The collection contained one certified coin when I first saw the group over the summer. One.

But all the good coins are known and nearly all are already slabbed, right?

So -- are there any good coins in the collection?

"It was acquired privately from Stack's in June 1975" I realize Pistareen wasn't born yet, but for some of us 1975 is not that long ago. Where was it before 1975 and how did it avoid detection prior to that?

This is as close as I'll get to one of these.

Beautiful coin.

Saw this lastnight. Stunning piece and I dont get excited with u.s. coins much anymore. The the toning, photography & everything about the coin is amazing.

Swampboy · October 19, 2014 1:44AM

Oh my.
What an extraordinary piece!
I'm in love.

ranshdow · October 19, 2014 1:46AM

One of those that seems almost to have a soul. And from a picture!

leothelyon · October 19, 2014 1:49AM

Looks like a chicken to me.

EastonCollection · October 19, 2014 2:29AM

I don't understand? - If this is a totally new example than how is it dated "1792"?

If I have a 1850 coin then is this considered a modern coin? LOL

BTW - all outstanding coins simply magnificent and can't wait to see those coins from the set.

Weiss · October 19, 2014 2:45AM

That coin is sick. How lucky are we that we collect in the internet age, where we have access to images like this at the push of a button.

Can you please take a family picture with all of them together? That would be a sight to see. A handful of NE shillings would be incredible.

fcloud · October 19, 2014 3:21AM

Awesome! Thanks for showing the image.

Is there a photo that shows off the toning more?

Awesome coin!

No doubt a terrific piece...but man did that cheek get abused.

messydesk · October 19, 2014 8:12AM

Awesome.

lasvegasteddy · October 19, 2014 8:53AM

uh...uh...let me gather my thoughts and get back with ya on that amazing example

thanks for sharing

CaptHenway · October 19, 2014 11:58AM

This coin is a perfect example of why people should not get all hung up on "perfection." The coin has a few problems. I don't care. I would be most pleased and proud to own it.

Sunshine Rare Coins · October 20, 2014 1:17AM

I can't wait to see the coin at lot viewing!

Sunshine Rare Coins · January 13, 2015 9:30AM

See first post

winky · January 13, 2015 9:55AM

Too bad it is a Electrotype but I would still love to have like all of you.

amwldcoin · January 13, 2015 10:05AM

WOW! Just WOW! So who is going to take the hit on that? Will Stacks make the owner whole????

valente151 · January 13, 2015 10:27AM

I wonder if they know much about the coin as an electrotype, i.e. if it was done at the mint like the 1804 dollar that was slabbed a few years ago. I'd assume if they have history of it, it could still have value.

indeetlib · January 13, 2015 10:46AM

Yikes!! It does have an electro kind of look to it.

Looks like the electrotype may have been made from the following disme in copper that's plated in the Breen Proof book. Notice the contact marks in the reverse fields. Maybe someone has a better image of this coin?

Oh, duh, there it is right in coinfacts. Judd-10, PCGS MS62BN:
