Trimes are beautiful in high mint state, but they can also be very cool in circulated condition.

    Gotta love that die clashing!


    This one is likely AT, but it's attractive and inexpensive:

    Now that's a cool looking clash. I don't know about the AT but it's a pretty coin to me.

    I like 'em used. This is one of the few (maybe the only) series where coins

    without clashes seem harder to find.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    Unfortunately slabbing has made it impossible for many collectors to feel just how small and thin these coins are by holding one their hand. When you put one in your palm, it's like you hare holding nothing. They are almost paper thin. For that reason it is easy to see why the Philadelphia and probably the New Orleans mint has so much trouble with the planchet feeding function in their production process. This would have resulted in clash marks when there was no planchet in the gap between the dies.

    Gee, I had no idea they were so BIG!

    I think I'll buy a couple to go along with my 5 oz. silver ATB quarters. image

    that's why you need a raw example:

    The minimum die clearance was also excessively narrow compared to other denominations, which also contributed to the likelihood of die clashing.

    ProfLiz,

    I look at this coin and I think of the Republic of Texas. I realize the republic ceased to exist in 1846, but when I look at this beautiful coin, I think "Republic of Texas".
