MikeKing Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Zach, it's my VeryFavorite 25, yes, and my VeryFirst overdate to own. (Haydn, I thought you'd like that one!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZ_E Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Mike, I love the originality on that coin! Even if a Bust half has been cleaned and retoned, it is still not the same nor will it ever be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IGWT Posted August 5, 2006 Author Share Posted August 5, 2006 Do darksiders count? Absolutely. But you have to educate me. What am I looking at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyonakataro Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Hi, It's a Japanese 2-sen copper dated 1875 whitch is 31mm in diameter. I got it from our local auction site "yahoo japan" and of course, it's raw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyonakataro Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Like Lee, I just received a coin today that I purchased from poor ebay pictures. I could tell there was some color but had no idea how much. Here are the ebay images and my pictures. I just noticed RGT cherry picked another attractive half dime from eBay, whitch is quite irritating and annoying to me nice catch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyonakataro Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 (edited) How about a coin worth less than a doller...my coin budget is limited these days. Japanese 1 sen minted in 1932 Edited August 5, 2006 by toyonakataro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomB Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 The type two trimes are way tough, Lee, do you have a type set of all of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IGWT Posted August 6, 2006 Author Share Posted August 6, 2006 Nice rotated die clash, Lee. Does anyone know why clashes are fairly common on silver 3c? Is it because the coin was so small that the Mint had trouble with the feeder mechanisms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeg Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 The type two trimes are way tough, Lee, do you have a type set of all of them? Tom, This coin will be going to PCGS for a cross. I'm going to use it in my 1857 Mint Set w/Gold Registry Set. It took me forever to find an example I like that didn't cost an arm and a leg. I like your idea though.

WinstonWare Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Boiler, what is this coin? It looks like a Mexican/American amalgam. I like it quite a bit but have never seen one of these before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOILER78 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Thanks for the kind words Tom. I am working on a couple of type sets, one of which is a pattern denomination set which will include a pattern coin from each denomination actually issued for circulation. ie. half cent thru double eagle. If I have any money left when I am done (doubtful ) I would like to add the Stella and Half Union both in copper. I plan to display the set here and possibly at a future show when I am finished. Here is a new image of the twenty cent piece from the set also a recent addition. I hope to add a few pieces next week in Denver. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly is cool to take directions like that if the budget allows. As always, Mark, you certainly put a sweet twist on the hobby. Thanks for being so humble to share with us!
