Antiques & Coin Roadshow

Coin collectors like old stuff so maybe show an interesting old item and the next person can post a coin from the same year or era. Maybe we can all see some interesting items and coins. No long winded rules here, just antique, coin antique, coin and so on. May or may not work. Let's see. I'll start with an Edgefield Pottery jug circa 1840-60. Now a coin from that era is up to all of you. Here we go.

EXOJUNKIE · April 13, 2018 11:20AM

I'll give it a go. Here's a political medal from the year 1840:

Since your looking at pottery from Carolina, I think some toned Bechtler gold from the 1840s would be appropriate:

What if I want to collect modern coins? Am I not considered a coin collector?

topstuf · April 13, 2018 11:28AM

This is a Converse brand toy car. When I got it, one wheel was a repro so I bought the NON windup version and stripped the wheel off that and then sold it in Antique Toy World magazine. I also sent it off to have the spring in the motor replaced.

It's an exact model of a 1908 Pierce Arrow touring car. Doors open, car steers, and the brakes are actually functional.

Kinda neat to see what people USED TO buy as toys for the kids. (or themselves)

Smudge · April 13, 2018 11:37AM

@jmlanzaf no. Posters can post newer cool stuff. Remember no rules.

You should immediately seek counseling for this condition haha.

Nice piece of pottery. After having the opportunity to visit the Island of Crete and see their collection of found coins from the island at a museum there I was enticed to eventually acquire after my return home to the U.S. a piece of pottery here in the U.S. that had been made many years BC in Crete.

@northcoin thanks. Still waiting for an 08 coin.

Since you are asking about something from 1840 to 1860, I'll post this 1841 cent. I find the placement of the bust and the date interesting.

And here is an 1859 cent.

and an 1860 cent.

Smudge · April 13, 2018 1:51PM

1852 Audubon folio print.

bsshog40 · April 13, 2018 2:16PM

Ok, not sure how this works exactly. Here's all I have from the 1850's era.

So I also collect vintage watches. My oldest is this 1924 Ladies Bulova watch. For those familiar, it's not a Miss America. just the box I have for it.

Smudge · April 13, 2018 2:43PM

@bsshog40 that's close enough. Now we need a 1924 coin.

LOL. Actually, I consider 1840 to be modern coins.

I love the Pierce Arrow, but I can't imagine winding that thing up to 70 or 80 mph, especially as bad as the roads were then.

Regulated · April 13, 2018 5:54PM

Regulated · April 13, 2018 5:57PM

Here's something for the more modern crowd - a custom-color '54 Strat. 1954 is the first year Fender made these - the color is translucent red over gold, and the gold paint matches the paint used on Eldon Shamblin's legendary gold '54 Strat:

As an aside, this is probably the "Cimarron Red" example that was made for Bill Carson, who helped design the Strat.

Lakesammman · April 13, 2018 6:55PM

Wow - not sure how this works but that guitar is amazing!

Always fun to learn about stuff outside my comfort zone.

Smudge · April 13, 2018 6:59PM

@Lakesammman just post a 1954 coin. I guess as this is the US coin forum it should be a US coin. That is a nice guitar.

amwldcoin · April 13, 2018 7:50PM

That looks like a dead infant.

...summer of 1987...I had to win multiple B.B. gun fights to put together the funds to buy that NES game...and at 7 years old I was a good shot, plus I had the thickest North Face jacket on in my crew

Timbuk3 · April 14, 2018 12:43AM

Interesting, thanks for sharing !!!

3keepSECRETif2rDEAD · April 14, 2018 12:52AM

...wish I still had the vintage wood & steel pump-action barrel B.B. gun but Pops smashed that baby into more pieces than coins in those albums...Damn...I deserved a whoopin’ but not the piece he handed down to me...but Pops is like that...he beats the hell out of everything except for his Family
