    The Newfoundland (NFLD) two-dollar gold. Even for NFLD this was an odd duck. They are a little larger in diameter than a dime, have three denominations written on the back ("TWO HUNDRED CENTS" and "2 DOLLARS" and "ONE HUNDRED PENCE") and were issued in vanishingly small quantities that amount to fewer than 100,000 pieces total over a twenty-three year period (1865-1888) with eight years of issue. Try putting a set of these together!

    I like those! I came very close to buying one a while back. @lordmarcovan ended up with it.
    Perhaps he’ll post it here? 🧐

    Other than the 1880, one can assemble a date set quite easily.

    Agreed, but the caveat I always keep in mind is to assemble a collection of coins that I like. That's the trick.

    I remember reading this thread from my lurking days - I can’t remember if it was from a search or not. Hilarious though!

    Other than my two, Two Cent pieces, I do not have anything that fits the 'odd' or 'pattern' categories. Cheers, RickO

    Very similar to the Sydney Sovereigns ((1857-1870)). The Wyons at work again - nice coin.

    Sort of keeping with @Dr_Bones pattern, here is another example of the mint's pioneering concept of "less is more"... :) The coin is graded PR64.

    I just realized, I had forgotten about this thread, I have gotten two 1/2 cents and upgraded my three dollar gold…
    this 1833 1/2 cent is my lifetime favorite copper coin

    And the upgraded $3 I traded my 1868 towards this

    And this, a humble and inexpensive example but I just absolutely loved it when I saw it!

    You have one of the 2 J-114 with a very red copper look. It is my speculation that either this pattern or the other came from the Farouk collection. It was the description of the Farouk coin that initiated the inclusion of J-114A into the Judd book of which none have been identified. It will require metal testing to know for certain as J-114 tests on average 86.5% copper. It would likely need to be a pure copper specimen. I have been trying to identify these outlier looking ones to send for metal testing. Metal testing has proven that a few previous designated patterns were merely corroded normal coins but has yielded the splitting of one previous category into a separate designation
