    You are correct I believe, I'm pretty sure none of us have one of those!

    Quite the interesting look for a piano, and certainly an interesting display.

    Super Cool. Are those actual coins or just pictures? Imagine some keen varieties there? Maybe even some "Accented Hair "? B)

    How much total face value do you think is on that piano, as well as how many varieties? Would certainly be cool to hear the back-story on that one................

    You know, that would be something Liberace would own.

    I did acquire a Steinway upright piano decades ago and learned after the fact that it was older than the one sourced from The White House that resides in The Smithsonian. Eventually it got traded in toward a Steinway midsize Grand, but the collector in me would like to have kept it.

  • jrt103jrt103 Posts: 419 ✭✭✭

    that's certainly unique

    Looks like something that would've been in the Knott's Berry Farm saloon. Cool!
    Anyone else ever been in there? I remember that the bar's counter had coins embedded in it...that was the early 80's and I think they were Morgans...I used to work there.

    Assuming both side panels are decorated with the same coins, it's over $600 face value. The total could be significantly more if the back and top of the case are also decorated with coins. :)

  • SiriusBlackSiriusBlack Posts: 1,120 ✭✭✭✭✭

    @Kurisu It does look like something from the Saloon though I haven't been there in years and years!!

    I thought the piano was a fun random bit of numismatic ephemera when I saw the photos! It would go great in a @ricko coin room. The Tarnished Piano!

    @SiriusBlack .... Indeed it would look nice in my coin room.... I thank you... You could get it for me in time for my birthday.... :D I will take a picture with it and have it framed for you. ;) Cheers, RickO

    Or Prince.

    Or Mark Russell (except he's still alive, but that looks like something he'd have played).

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

    The bar/counter at the cafe in the Wall Drug complex is covered with silver dollars which are under glass of course.

    I think I found the perfect home for the piano here in Virginia City, Nevada:

    Does that house have a garage?

    ...by far that’s the coolest sub-$400 paint job I have ever seen on a vehicle ;)

    Are they Morgans? I haven't been back to Knott's since the 80's when we still lived in CA.

    Somewhere in my travels i encountered a bar or casino called the Silver Dollar and the Bar and tables are all covered in Silver dollars embedded in Resin. I want to say it's in Carson City or Reno, but it's been too long. May have even been in Virginia City.

  • ModwriterModwriter Posts: 330 ✭✭✭

    I haven't been to Knott's since the 70's. Disco New Years Eve 1978. Virginia City/Reno/Tahoe in 1986. I do remember hitting a jackpot and walking around a hotel casino in Vegas with a couple of those plastic cups full of silver dollars in the early 90's. Wish I had kept them now.

  • OnastoneOnastone Posts: 4,162 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Is that piano in tone or are the coins perfectly tuned?

    Mostly Morgans IIRC and I think some Peace dollars, all common dates. This is at Wall Drug in Wall, South Dakota and not Knotts.

    The piano keys are tuned. Does that mean the piano coins are keys? (meaning key dates) :D

    Yes, Wall Drugs South Dakota. Been there and saw those silver dollars. I have pictures here somewhere.

    Brilliant!! I didn't think of that one!

    I would have done a better job straping down that piano for moving!
