A tribute to one very special coin

Cladiator · March 27, 2007 10:41AM

The box of 20 thread and the Bill Gates thread got me to day dreaming. I'd like to catalogue every image of the 1792 Half Disme I can find. So far this is what I've got.

VERY COOL! Thanks for posting them!

So, which ones are AT?

Nice line-up, Cladiator!

got this one? (scotsman)

Looks to be a pretty common coin...

Cladiator · March 27, 2007 10:52AM

<< got this one? (scotsman) >>

I do now. Thanks.

Actually, it's not all that incredibly rare. I believe it's designated as only an R4 coin. The history behind the coin is what commands the astronomical premium...I think.

I want one of those sooooo bad I can taste it

Every coin is special....

The "VERY SPECIAL" I will not argue.

one of the pictured coins is a metal detecting find!

Cool photos Thanks

Cladiator · March 27, 2007 2:58PM

If anyone has images of one that isn't in this I'd appreciate a heads up on it. Hopefully this can become quite a 1792 show after some time.

Which one is that again?

Cool post clad!

Go to the Stack's/ANR archive and they have pieces imaged that you do not have yet.

second one up on the left (the reverse has a "gash" from 11 o'clock to the center)

Assemble enough of these and you will soon discover that you have images of the same piece in 'before' and 'after' mode.

JZrarities · March 27, 2007 10:56PM

Pssst!

combatmailman · March 27, 2007 11:50PM

That is a very nice set Cladiator, congrats

Cladiator · March 28, 2007 12:32AM

JZ and Tom, thanks

CCU, I'm comparing the actual details of the coins to ensure there are no duplicates. It'll be exciting when I do start finding the same coin with different photos.
