BRUCE THOMAS COLLECTION OF SO-CALLED DOLLARS AND OTHER MEDALS
|
COLLECTING THESE MEDALS THAT ARE A PART OF AMERICAN HISTORY IS FUN AND EDUCATIONAL. I ALSO ENJOY THESE BECAUSE MANY OF THESE MEDALS ARE VERY RARE IF NOT UNIQUE. I ALSO HAVE NUMEROUS DEWITT POLITICAL MEDALS AND OTHER MEDALS THAT ARE EITHER 1 OF 1 NGC GRADED OR TOP POPS.

I would like to thank NGC for voting my set Best Custom Set for 2021. I consider it an honor to be part of the NGC Registry and for my set to have been chosen to receive this award. My goal is to assemble a collection of So-Called Dollars and related medals that consists of attractive, quality examples no matter their grade. Many of the medals in my set are finest known or top pop examples, with the majority of the remaining medals that make up the set being within a point or two of top pop status. I have included large, high-resolution photos as well as descriptions of each medal. In an effort to keep the set organized I have the medals listed by date first followed by HK number.

Civil War Tokens - Patriotic Dies
|
Collect as many different patriotic die examples as practicable. These are the dies as currently listed in Fuld's 6th Edition and the current Red Book.
Note that some patriotic dies are exceptionally difficult to obtain on a patriotic token, in some cases there being a single unique example. In those instances I searched for an example of the die on a civil war store card. Those will be the only store cards listed in this collection with the patriotic die identified.
Fuld rarity scale: R-1: Greater than 5,000 R-2: Between 2,000 and 5,000 R-3: Between 500 and 2,000 R-4: Between 200 and 500 R-5: Between 76 and 200 R-6: Between 21 and 75 R-7: Between 11 and 20 R-8: Between 5 and 10 R-9: Between 2 and 4 R-10: Unique (one known example)

The J. Perry Collection of Colorado Coins and Exonumia

PRIMARY COLLECTING GOALS: After a 5 year hiatus focusing on my young family, my primary goal is now fourfold: 1.) To teach my 2 daughters about the beauty of numismatics through their home state of Colorado. 2.) Making this set a worthy contender and 2x winner for the 2022 NGC Registry Awards; which would be an incredible honor. — As it turns out, this was not the case which was extremely disappointing and unfortunate.
NOTE: The set itself has nearly tripled in size and is continuing to grow regularly since winning the 2017 Registry Award for “Most Informative Custom Set”; making it one of the most unique and extensive Colorado-specific registry collections on the planet. Updates were finally completed in May of 2022 after ~500+ hours of dedication! —————————— ADDITIONAL COLLECTING GOALS: 3.) To obtain any numismatic specimen minted in and/or having "any" association with the state of Colorado. 4.) To teach people about Colorado's rich history, as well as myself, through the tool of numismatic education. — I hope to one day involve my young children in this process, allowing them to understand their native state and father through numismatics.
“A HIATUS & THE ROAD TO REDISCOVERY” ————— Although intended to be posted by the end of 2016, it had been extremely difficult processing the nearly 175+ new certified Colorado specimens I had obtained at the time. I acquired the majority in July of 2016; however, with the high and strict standards I have for presenting them, as well as a 2-year-old and newborn, I took a 5 year hiatus to focus on them. Within the months of December 2019 and January 2020, I put in roughly 100+ hours photographing, editing, and cropping all of the coins, tokens, and medals. With a full-time job and many other engagements in my life, finding large amounts of time to work was, and still is, a tremendous challenge. I am now proud to say I can finally share them with the world, as there are a number of interesting, unique, beautiful, and extremely scarce issues. This should undoubtedly be one of the most expansive Colorado numismatic collections ever assembled in a Registry. — I chose to utilize NGC’s Registry since I trust their judgment beyond all others, their experience in exonumia is unparalleled and subsequently, the vast majority of issues in this collection are graded by them. ————— 2022 UPDATES: January 2022 Update: I have “finally” started adding the 175+ new specimens in early January of 2022. I am beginning by uploading photos of every piece, rearranging in the specified order, then entering the descriptions shortly thereafter. This will indeed take time. Subsequently, the collection may look a bit all over the place for the time being until everything is added, organized, and up-to-date. Nevertheless, it’s finally happening! Get ready for one of the most mesmerizing sets of Colorado coins, exonumia, and collectibles ever to be presented! Hold onto your hats my numismatic friends, it's going to be a beautiful site!
2/13/22 Update: All new certified medals have been added to the set, along with photographs. All have been rearranged in their specified order, as well. Descriptions are forthcoming. Current phase will be adding the 100+ NGC certified Colorado tokens. Descriptions for all medals/tokens will be updated after all are added, rearranged.
2/26/22 Update: All new certified tokens and remaining medals have been officially added to this set. This was certainly an undertaking but it is now finally complete. Next phase: rearranging/reordering all pieces in this set in accordance with the Set Description. Once completed, final research will go into the descriptions of each new piece.
2/28/22 Update: The entire set has been rearranged to its final and proper order based on the Set Description. After 5 years, the final stage of updating this collection is in sight. The research details that will go into all new issues that state, “INFO COMING SOON” will conclude all updates once completed. This will undoubtedly be the longest, most time consuming, phase yet. So, please be patient!
4/5/22 Update: Roughly 1/3 or ~33% of all issues in this set have been fully researched. Thorough, detailed, and accurate descriptions have been written in uniform formats. As stated previously, the research/writing phase is by far the lengthiest process. 2/3 or ~66% of the research for this set will be the next major milestone. More to come soon!
4/25/22 Update: Roughly 2/3 or ~66% of all issues in this set have been fully researched/updated. Numerous new pieces have also been added over the last 3 months. The final 33% of the set is now being researched. 100% coming soon!
5/6/22 Update: 100% completed! All issues in this set have now been fully updated. All listings are now in a consistent/uniform format, layout, proper order, fully photographed, and researched extensively. This has been quite the endeavor and personal accomplishment. — Although the major task has been completed through a total of ~500+ hours between time spent in 2017, December of 2019/January of 2020, and January-May of 2022, I will continue to add new Colorado examples as I acquire them. Now, all that’s left is to ENJOY!
**OCTOBER 2022 UPDATE** 102 new Colorado-related coins, tokens, and medals were just submitted to NGC for grading/certification/encapsulation — Officially “Received” on 10/14/22. This is the single largest submission I have ever sent in; which includes some incredible Colorado rarities (i.e. the 1906 CO HK-339 Pike's Peak "Imitation Issue," the 1959 CO HK-543 Rush to the Rockies: "Gold Nugget Dollar" in silver-nickel, and 8 Colorado Masonic issues from the renowned Maurice A. Storck Collection to single out a few). — An update will be posted once the issues are graded/returned; however, this likely will not happen before the November 1, 2022 cutoff for Registry Awards. Regardless, several new/rare issues were recently purchased and will be posted prior to 11/1.
2022 REGISTRY AWARDS: To my utter disappointment and dismay, my set was not selected for a single category under Custom Sets. I find this to be quite astonishing considering the collection had just 25% of the coins it does now when it won “Most Informative” Custom Set in 2017. All updates were done and completed in 2022, quadrupling the size of the set, creating uniform layouts on “every” coin, 100% HD photos for all coins, and “extensive” in-depth research for each specimen; 500+ hours was spent in the process and thousands of dollars. I was somewhat shocked to compare my set with the 2022 winner for “Most Informative.” Nothing against the winner, it’s a great set; yet, the level of detail between mine and his/hers is unmatched. Although I will continue to build and grow this specific collection out of my love for Colorado numismatics, I will not be putting forth as much effort, energy, or resources. I truly feel like I was unjustly deprived of a deserving, merit-based win. To not have even been considered is both hurtful and upsetting. Yes, I also reached out expressing my feelings to NGC. Effectively, their response was: “There’s 250k+ sets and only a handful of people to sift through them to choose winners. However, your set is noteworthy and caught our eye.” — That is not a valid response, nor answer. An opportunity was made to adjust and/or correct but it was clearly not taken. If sets cannot be properly measured, weighed, examined and thoroughly evaluated, then awards should not be given at all. I apologize for even including this section of wording; however, I felt it important my feelings were made known on the matter, as well as NGC’s response. Believe me, if my set was not a worthy contender, or appeared to be completely insignificant compared to the 2022 winners, I’d fully accept that and work harder in 2023. However, that was not the case here as explained above. — Who knows, maybe next year (assuming one of the few people considering winners stumbles upon my set)…
MARCH 2023 UPDATE: After 6 months, I have finally received all 102 tokens/medals that were submitted to NGC. For those of you building extensive sets like this, you’ll know how long processing 102 new coins can be. I have already started that process but it may be awhile before I finish. Please excuse the mess, as the Set may look a bit “all over the place” as I get all new issues photographed, cropped, edited, properly researched, and posted. — Adding these additional pieces should only add to the prestige of the collection, as a whole. — More to come soon!

The collection will seek out medals, jetons and tokens that tell the history of Europe from the late 1700s to the early 1900s. The collection will be a "type collection" with an item to mark the significant historical events of this era. The collection will not seek to limit its scope to any one particular metal type whether it be copper, bronze, silver, gold, or gilt. As a secondary objective the collection will seek to display at least one example from each of the great designers of the time (Bovy, Webb, Bazor, Dupree, Denon, Andrieu, etc.)
It will include amongst other things examples of the following types: - Julius - Bramsen - Eimer - Hennen - Maz - Feuardent - Lerouge

A complete collection of non unique US Mint Assay Medals struck in silver. Provenance was desirable, as was attractive and original surfaces. Thin versus Thick planchets were not material enough to warrant inclusion as weight often varied depending on time between production.

To own each variety of token and medal associated with the expo (including So Called Dollars), in the highest grade possible. Encased pennies and elongated cents will be listed separately.
There are well over 100 different medals from the PAE. Some types are common, but many are scarce or rare. Based on auction appearances including eBay the last few years, the opportunities to acquire some of the scarcer pieces do not occur that often. Sometimes years go by without seeing some types offered. The truly rare ones hardly appear at all and most must be socked away somewhere and only reappear in estate sales or when old-time collections are broken up. It is hard to put a number on how many still exist and difficult to accurately assign to a rarity scale. Unlike rare coins that have a ready-made market, appearances of medals for sale may not indicate rarity since the demand for them may not be driving the number of offerings. However, based on relative scarcity I provide my estimate of rarity using the updated Sheldon/HK 2nd Edition scale below.
R1 Common 1,250+ R2 Uncommon 501 - 1,250 R3 Scarce 201 - 500 R4 Very Scarce 76 - 200 R5 Rare 31 - 75 R6 Very Rare 13 - 30 R7 Extremely Rare 4 - 12 R8 Nearly Unique 2 - 3 R9 Unique 1
From a collector standpoint, even some of the rare pieces are available for less than $50 as the demand part of the equation is not driving these upward. That makes for a wonderful opportunity to purchase some of these great historical pieces.

The medals of Soho near Birmingham
|
This set is a tribute to my friend, Bill McKivor, who recently passed away. Although we only knew each other for a relatively short time, Bill quickly became one of my favorite people. He is the sole reason I ended up collecting the medals of the Soho Mint, and as such, it seems fitting that his memory lives on in my collection. Bill had an eye for exceptional quality, and although he handled most of the Boulton Family collection, the medals held a special place in his heart. I, too, have developed a keen fondness for the Soho medals, and so far, I have been successful in locating many examples paired with silver-lined brass shells. Several of them once resided in either the Boulton family or the James Watt Jr. collections. This set aims to build a top-notch collection of Soho medals, emphasizing the ones Bill held in such high regard. The pieces that comprise this collection have been carefully selected. When appropriate, I have included the relevant provenance for each piece and the historical significance of the event or person depicted on the medal.

So-Called Dollars

I'm going for the relatively obtainable medals in the set (anything about an R-5 gets awfully tough to find), preferably in MS60 or better, without any of the holed varieties, and sticking to the motifs that have eye-appeal or historical meaning to me. So, I'm guessing that limits me to about 40% of the total series? If I have an unlimited budget and decades to work on it, that's doable.

All 25 of silver and one 10K gold OTACS medals issued. The suspended bronze medals were only available to those who actually attended the meeting. As the certification services do not often encapsulate medals with their ribbons attached, these medals are excluded from this set. This would include all of the bronze medals, and the silver medals from 1971, 1977 and 1980. The 1980 medal was the only one produced by the Franklin Mint. The rest are mostly MACO productions. Complete sets are extremely rare, and no more than 10 can exist given the limited mintage of the gold medal.

Patriotic civil war tokens and store cards
|
Thank you to everyone that viewed the set and made the 2020 Best set recognition possible.
The original goal when I started this set was to build the finest set of R-1 civil war tokens with a nice assortment of rarer issues. However I tend to prefer variety over "Top Pop" tokens. After nearly twenty years I am close building a complete R-1 to R-6 patriotic set with many additional R-7 and scarcer tokens. The storecards is a far larger and more difficult series, moving forward I'd like to expand the storecrad set, as the patriotic area is, while far from complete, the missing tokens are quite difficult ones. Collectors hunt as many different Town and merchant verities as possible, as a long term goal moving into that direction, while finding complementing tokens to this existing collection.
It has been along process, this collection holds some rarities I never thought would be attainable: The top of the collection Id say are: 9/404a is the crown of the collection, the rev die only exists on this R-9 variety. 205/411a Key to the DIX "shot him on the spot" series R-9 die, two examples owned. 481/490a the pictorial equestrian with running dogs, I feel is the most artistically pleasing all the CWTs.
There have been plenty of amazing tokens that "got away" and some mistake additions, however this is a limitless series with thousands of varieties, Ideally this set will continue to be fleshed out with more modest examples and the occasional trophy rarity when possible.
