Perhaps a high point in the US Coinage was the 1870's. Some wonderful, artistic designs, low mintages, oddball patterns, Gold, Silver and Copper Alike.

Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. 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 ... ?0 -

This has been an exceptionally interesting thread and I want to thank all for posting these splendid coins. Indeed, I feel that perhaps I underspoke on the original post, for without a doubt these breathtaking examples of the coiners art, the skillful and intricate engraving....the magnificant quality of the mint finish.....its obvious that this decade has produced the finest US Coins of all time. Not yet present, the Stella., anyone?0

This is an extremely rare 1871 California round $1 gold BG-1201, Only 9 in ALL PCGS grades (NGC has only 2 in all grades)
This is a PCGS MS-63 pop 2/0. I won this Friday at Heritage for $8,050. Not cheap at all but I was satisfied with the price.
This is Heritage's description:
<< <i>Desirable MS63 Round Liberty
BG-1201 1871 Dollar
1871 $1 Liberty Round 1 Dollar, BG-1201, High R.6, MS63 PCGS. An important example of this rare Period Two variety. The luster is between satiny and prooflike, and the lemon-gold toning is highly attractive. Well struck with clean surfaces. Round dollars are a challenging entry in a Guide Book type set of the series. Population: 2 in 63, 0 finer (2/10). (#10946) >>]&sink=preservemd[true])

Thanks for posting my coin's pics Todd! I'm sure that most of you have heard the story but there are
always newbies so I'll repeat myself.
This 1870cc dollar was given by Abe Curry (first superintendent of the Carson City Mint in 1870) to my
Great Grand Parents: Matt and Marcella Rinckel. They were best of friends and business partners in
Carson in those early days. Upon giving this coin to Marcella he said: "Marcella, hold out your hand" she did
and he placed this dollar in it "I want you to keep this dollar so that you will never be broke. This is the
first dollar ever minted in our new Carson City Mint, the second dollar went to Govenor Blasdel and the
third to President US Grant."
This dollar has been in the family since that day. It is worn because Marcella kept it in her coin purse until
she passed in 1933. Then my Great Great Aunt inherited the coin and her husband put it in the bracelet
that you see in the pic. There it resides today.

Now that is a winner of a coin and momento in my book. By the way, I am NOT a newbie but never saw this story and pics before. So repeating it makes sense even for some oldies!
Congrats AUandAG on such an awesome piece of history!A Collectors Universe poster since 1997!1 -
Thanks Oreville! I appreciate the comment. Just born into the right family! Exciting piece to
own and display! Having a brochure made so as not to have to drag the coin around all the time.
Thanks to Todd's generosity I've got some great pictures now.

Todd's photos really bring out the iridescence of that CC dollar! Such a great story behind that family heirloom.0

I'm really challenged by the internet and now you want me to have
a dingleberry?? Don't even own a cell phone. But, my wife does so
as long as I have her along it all works out!
Heck, Todd had to post my pic for me because I don't have a clue as to
how to get his pics off the CD he gave me to post it here!
