I will send a first place coin to robec1347 and a second place coin to pendragon1998. Both are nice coins and please post your new coin once it arrives. Thanks for participating in my contest and wishing all of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Coins will be mailed soon.

Thanks, Dean! PM about to be sent. I've really enjoyed looking through your set. The Indian Head design is wonderful. The reverse, in particular, is quite elegant, while the obverse balances it with more complexity than first meets the eye. I was digging the woodgraining on some of your specimens.

 

It's clear from even a cursory look at your set that you've put a lot of time into finding nice specimens. It's really groovy to see some of the incredibly low mintages on some of those coins as well! Good job!

 

Some of my favorites:

 

 

1867

 

1876

 

1878

 

1909

Congrats Bob and Michael. And a great big thanks to Dean, what a great tribe. Merry Christmas everyone. (thumbs u

Congratulations on 1000 Dean. Your set is well worth a good look as your Indian's are not picked up just to fill a hole. Many appear to be undergraded by one to two points and all have superior eye appeal. If you are not a fan of the IHC series, viewing this set will change your mind. It absolutely blows me away.

He's not kidding! What a wonderful surprise to find in the mail this afternoon, Dean! Thank you so much. I don't know an awful lot about Conders (very little, actually), but I look forward to learning more soon. Perhaps you can get me started. Better photo when I can set up my camera properly.

 

I think I'm correct in what I've looked up so far, but I'm so new at conders, I wasn't even sure what the D&H number is from! (I since learned it's from Dalton & Hamer’s “The Provincial Token Coinage of the 18th Century”)

 

1795 Middlesex Lackington's Halfpenny Conder Token

D&H #358a

 

OBVERSE: Profile bust to right. J. LACKINGTON FINSBURY SQUARE 1795.

 

REVERSE: A figure of Fame, blowing a trumpet. HALFPENNY OF LACKINGTON ALLEN & CO, CHEAPEST BOOKSELLERS IN THE WORLD.

 

EDGE: Milled to left //////

Wow, another ultra cool prize. I think I'm going to have to back track on what I said about not entering Dean's other contest.

[rrantique]

Wow Bob that's is a cool coin. (thumbs u

[pendragon1998]

I thought I'd share my new photos with y'all since I finally got around to photographing my prize properly.

 

 

[robec1347]

Well if Dean's giving all these great pieces away can you imagine what he's keeping?

[dean1345]

Michael........Very nice photo. I think your photo is very close to what it looks like in hand.

Bob.......looking forward to giving away couple of more nice coins!!
