I might be getting interested in the 'next series' can you guess it?

In searching it on the search feature...

I get one hit. One thread from 2004

Lakesammman · October 31, 2011 11:50AM

What!

STONE · October 31, 2011 11:55AM

PBD = Pre Bust Dollars?

Elcontador · October 31, 2011 11:58AM

A set of Eunice Shriver coins from grades MS 60 through MS 70.

Lakesammman · October 31, 2011 11:59AM

Pioneer Bechtler Dollars??

lordmarcovan · October 31, 2011 12:03PM

I got one hit on Chalmers coinage. That's esoteric enough that I could imagine you goin' there.

Edit- no, maybe not... that thread was from 2008.

Gold dollars...to feuchtwanger cents...to Vermont colonial copper...I can't keep up.

ambro51 · October 31, 2011 12:36PM

Done with the Feuchtwangers? No, not really, if one of the three remaining die pairings I need shows up,....but they are R8 and R9 coins..so ...I consider my three cent set world class and complete.

The gold dollars, they are beautiful. I love the type threes, more than the ones and twos...and actually a few have gone to new homes, many on this forum...but the core rarities and 'good ones' mostly all remain.

but...there is something....you would be just so surprised you are not realizing it, so out in the open a common coin you all would recongnize.

Its rare and beautiful, and not too expensive. less than 30 make the series. there is one Kick azz rarity in it, of unfathomable rarity and totally out of reach yet known to one and all.

can you guess the coin?

But these Vermonts...just totally an awesome series...Im not interested one iota in the Machins mills contract coins for vermont that many collect. Id just as soon tear these pages out of my book. not gonna go there. Im a Rupert fan.

But this new thing...well, Im planning. and I see it happen. I think Hmmmmm I wonder what these sell for...then the searches, the teeny push into looking up mintages and average prices....avaliability...etc etc...and hmmm m aybe, just maybe...

can you guess the series??

Peace dollars or SLQs? Got to think there's been a few threads on each of those though. Hmmmm......

ambro51 · October 31, 2011 1:07PM

Now Im just playing with the idea you know, but I think they would be a tremendous accent coin to the type 3 gold dollar set, when all laid out on the coffee table.

Proof barber dimes

and yes, the subject on only ONE thread on this forum, hence, esoteric enough for my tastes.

More eye candy for me.

Go for it!

Some good stuff there!

coinsarefun · October 31, 2011 1:19PM

If you say they tone.........you must be talking about

breakdown · October 31, 2011 1:24PM

And I was getting ready to make another wrong guess: proof Trade dollars. In any event, proof Barber dimes will be interesting. Keep us posted as you start your purchases.

TPRC · October 31, 2011 1:27PM

Good series to collect Ambro. Lots of value in them, I think. Plus, I don't collect them!

DIMEMAN · October 31, 2011 1:50PM

Good choice! Get the 1915 first!

Swampboy · October 31, 2011 1:59PM

<< <i>Good choice! Get the 1915 first!

Yeah, something this one I found on CoinFacts.

DIMEMAN · October 31, 2011 2:12PM

That one would do nicely!

Out of curiosity, is there an easy way to distinguish the Machisn Mills from the Rupert issues?

ambro51 · November 1, 2011 4:10AM

Yes. All the landscapes, the baby heads and the bust lefts were made in Rupert Vermont. All the remaining issues, any dated 1787 or 1788, they were struck under the authority of vermont as contract pieces from Machins Mills in Newbergh New York. They are 'full vermonts' in most senses, but the entire harmony of the coin is different in many ways. the copper is different, the style of bust, front and back, lettering, quality of design...all a different animal. the machins mills issues are usually better copper but lighter in weight. they are more prone to splits than the ruperts, as they are more prone to fissures and voids. Both can have either defect though on occasion. machins mills issues, with a few exceptions, usually were struck to look worn. the planchets were tumbled after production to produce rounded edges. They wanted their coins to look oldish, and britishy..and pass without questions (too many questions, as they are light in weight and easily noted). The landscapes, they were lovely, but seemingly were difficult to put into circulation as Harmon had the legislature approve a change to the design to a bust with seated figure.

I find the Rupert issues lovely in their rustic conditions....the machins mills issues, all flat and worn....just cant get a visual handle on the gobs of teeny variations between the types, and I usually thrive on that sort of stuff but they are just not pushing any buttons at all.

TPRC · November 1, 2011 4:12AM

Awesome! Thanks.

magikbilly · November 1, 2011 4:37AM
