STAR QUALITY HALF DOLLARS
|
SHOWCASE SOME STAR QUALITY FRANKLIN AND KENNEDY HALF DOLLARS FOR OTHERS TO ENJOY. Never saw an NGC STAR that I didn't like. I have also included a couple of early Kennedy Half Dollars graded as PL ( PROOF-LIKE ) & a rare 1970-D graded as DPL ( DEEP MIRROR PROOF-LIKE ). An early Kennedy graded as PL is a scarce & desirable coin. Sometimes a coin was not considered worthy of the PL designation if the reverse was not proof-like , but the obverse was proof-like. In such a case the coin was often given a star instead, in deference to the PL obverse.

What comes next? You've been freed. Do you know how hard it is to lead?
|
Although my ambition is to build a complete collection of the Soho Mint pieces, this would be an unrealistic goal. Instead, my goal is to accumulate a representative sample of Soho pieces that depict the height of artistic and scientific ingenuity of the era. In completing this goal, I hope to bring knowledge to those interested by providing detailed pictures and accurate descriptions. A great deal of numismatic history remains to be explored by those unfamiliar, and what better way to learn than by looking at a selection of handpicked specimens?
This set won the NGC Registry "Most Informative Custom Set" award in 2020. I am deeply humbled by NGC’s generosity, and this award, paired with the kind words from the NGC judges, means a great deal to me.
Notes from the judges:
As the owner of this set explains, its title is taken from a line in the musical Hamilton that is uttered by Britain’s King George III to the newly independent America. In fact, the introductory text to this set makes for such fascinating reading that it’s easy to forget about the coins. These comprise a broad assortment of the copper pieces struck for George III at Matthew Boulton’s Soho Mint from 1788 to 1813. Each piece is nicely illustrated and accompanied by very detailed text about its technical details, as well as its historical context. This is a truly superb presentation.

The U.S. Mint Goes to War
|
The coins in this set encompass all of the coins produced by the U.S. Mint for circulation in foreign countries during World War II. World War II is generally considered to have begun in Europe with the invasion of Poland on September 1, 1939, and officially ended with VJ-Day on August 14, 1945. I have include 1946 since many foreign mints did not go back into full production immediately, and there was still a need for the U.S. Mint to provide coins for the post-war rebuilding effort. I have also included the two 1947 MacArthur commemorative coins minted for the Philippines because they mark the transition from War to Peace time production and seem like a fitting end to this set.

Social elitism: As told by the history of English copper 1694-1807
|
With this set, I hope to highlight the social circumstances that further propagated that numerous issues surrounding the production of regal copper, bronze, and tin coinage in England from the reign of William and Mary to that of George III. Furthermore, in using the coins in my modest but expanding collection, I hope to provide some basic knowledge regarding the numerous patterns, proofs, and business strikes of regal English copper. It is my sincere hope that giving the historical context in the introduction, paired with examples from my collection, may entice others to explore this vibrant area of history. I am too sensible to think this meager set will have a profound enough impact to make any significant contributions to the hobby. Still, if I can intrigue even one collector, I would consider the time and effort invested in this collection to be a striking success!
This set won the NGC Registry "Most Creative Custom Set" award in 2019. This was a complete surprise and it means a great deal to me that others have found some enjoyment from my collection.
Notes from the judges:
The goal of this collector is to portray a historical pattern of discrimination against the poor and working classes through neglecting their need for small change coins. Despite plenty of evidence that low value copper pieces were needed, Britain’s Royal Mint seldom attended to this need before the 19th Century. This tale is told through a selection of about two dozen coins spanning 1694-1807. Each entry provides excellent photos and highly detailed commentary about its numismatic aspects and the owner’s experiences with that coin.

1.) The primary goal of this set is to display a wide variety of Bald Eagle designs shown on both coins and exonumia. This allows the observer to see how the Eagle has been depicted by various artists and evolved throughout history, as well as judge the beauty of each and compare the numerous types.
2.) The secondary goal is continuing to search for unique Eagle designs for exhibit in this showcase. More will be added over time, allowing one to see the vast differences (or similarities) in how the Bald Eagle has been depicted through the course of history.

He was also a coin collector, making him an important figure in the evolution of United States currency. He is featured on many commemorative coins due to the Louisiana Purchase, subsequent expeditions, and later settlement of the lands beyond. Jefferson was also the president on the obverse of the first Peace Medals minted to gift the Native Americans during the Lewis and Clark expedition, and many replicas of these medals have been made. This will be difficult to assemble but ultimately rewarding.

The Use of Seated Imagery in Numismatics
|
To identify and populate this set with coins featuring seated imagery and then to identify and document the 5 W's of those coins. The 5 W's are Who, What, Where, When, and Why.
To put it into concise terms, I have a desire to know "who" designed or commissioned the minting of my coins. I want to know "what" my coins mean, or the message they are conveying other than that of a medium of exchange. The "where" of my coins centers on the nations issuing the coins and their people. The "when" of my coins brings into focus the historical context of the coins, and the "why" is my desire to know for what purpose the coins were minted.

Resolute Americana Continental Dollar Collection
|
My goal was to assemble this set because of the historical importance of the Continental Dollar. My hope is that such a set may be helpful to those who have a serious interest in the beginnings of our nation's currency as well as its self-identity. In assembling it, I have gained a deeper understanding and appreciation of our country. I hope that anyone who views this set may experience similar feelings. I believe these coins, representative of our heritage, should be shared. Please enjoy the experience and thank you for stopping by for a visit.
For those of you interested in why I chose the name "Resolute" for the collection, it is because the word means a lot to me. First, it describes my personal nature very well. Secondly, it was the name of the acquisition company my future partners and I would use during the process of regaining our independence from a British corporation that I considered to be our own King George III. I chose as our battle flag one with seven interlinking rings with each of my future partner's names in each link. It was inspired by the thirteen rings on the Continental Dollar to reflect our strength of purpose and that "WE ARE ONE." "Resolute" also came from the story of HMS Resolute that sailed to the North Pole in 1851 to rescue a British expedition. Resolute itself became stranded and had to be abandoned. When the ship broke free, fisherman off of Nantucket Island salvaged it. Upon hearing of this, the US government bought it and had it refurbished. The US Navy sailed it to England and presented it as a gift to Queen Victoria in 1856 as an expression of our goodwill. It caused great jubilation through out the country. When it was decommissioned in 1880, Queen Victoria gave orders to have the finest part of the keel fashioned into a desk to be presented to President Rutherford B. Hayes. It is the desk that now resides in the Oval Office. Given the word's significance to me and also its historical importance, I thought it would be appropriate for my collection. I hope you agree.

Broke-Daddy's All-American Buffalo Chips
|
20th & 21st Century US minted coins featuring Fraser's designs, beginning with The Indian Head or Buffalo nickel, circulated from 1913 to 1938. The Obverse & Reverse designs were later duplicated on MS and Proof versions of the 2001 American Buffalo Commemorative(90%)Silver Dollar, and the 2006-W 1oz. 24-karat .9999 Gold Bullion $50 coin
Black Diamond who was born in 1893, a hybrid bull and cow given to the Central Park Zoo (in NYC) by Barnum and Bailey. His coat was unusually dark, and in his prime weighed more than 1,500 pounds, and was a most popular attraction at the zoo. Despite his size, he was quite docile, a virtue that made him the perfect model. But not everyone was impressed with his appearance. The director of the Zoo called the bison on the nickel "a sad failure," with its head drooped as if it had lost all hope in the world. Legend has it that Old "BD" refused to pose! He kept turning to watch Fraser draw instead of standing sideways. Fraser had to get a zookeeper to catch the animal's eye while Fraser snuck around for a side view.
The first Buffalo nickels were first struck in 1913, and pictured Black Diamond standing on a mound above the words "Five Cents." When Mint officials decided the inscription wouldn't hold up in circulation, the design was changed to show the buffalo standing on level ground. Discontinued in 1938, the images from both sides of the nickel have since been reprised in 2001 on a 1 oz silver MS and Proof US commemorative coin, and since 2006 on MS and Proof gold buffalo gold 1 oz and fractional bullion coins.
Inspired by Frazier's design, emerged versions of the American Bison as on the 1991 Mount Rushmore Commemorative Clad Half Dollar (Reverse); 2005 Westward Journey Nickel "Grazing Buffalo" Obverse; and on the Obverse of the Clad and Silver versions of the 2005 Kansas, the 2006 North Dakota, and 2007 Montana Statehood Quarters, and finally the 2010 Yellowstine National Park Series Quarters. Each series coins depicting the American Bison in various natural landscape settings.
All coins in this set are certified by NGC, at(or Very Close to)"Best" Grade available..

Horses
|
My goal is to create a collection of coins, medals, tokens, and other numismatic items which feature prominent images of the horse. Items included vary greatly in the use of the horse image. While this is not an exhaustive collection of such items, it is a wide-ranging set of coins paying tribute to one of the worlds most graceful and beautiful creatures. I also have a large collection of raw horse related numismatic items (around 100 pieces not replicated here).
Most pieces feature the horse in one of three ways:
- The horse as a symbol of heraldry, power, or mythology
- The horse with a mounted (usually famous) rider
- The horse in its natural surroundings as an animal intertwined with the history of humans
-------------------------------------------------------------
2011 NGC MOST CREATIVE CUSTOM SET Judge's Comments: Thematic collecting is always popular, and this one makes the most of coins featuring horses. In addition to a great array of coins and tokens from around the world, from ancient times to modern, the individual entries are presented in an extremely attractive and entertaining manner. A template is used that presents the coins in “postcard” form, with an enlarged view of the side bearing the horse imagery. A second postcard includes other non-numismatic images which help to tell its story and place it in context. This is a truly fun set which will appeal even to the non-collector.
2015 NGC MOST INFORMATIVE CUSTOM SET Judge's Comments: This charming collection features depictions of horses on coins, medals and tokens from all periods of history back to ancient times. Having already been awarded “Most Creative Custom Set” in 2011, it presently features over 250 pieces and will continue to grow. Each specimen is described in detail, with most entries providing information about both the numismatic item and its subject matter. This is done in the form of two postcard style views, one for the specimen and another for the subject. The project is ongoing, particularly with respect to the historic views, but it’s already a very broad and educational presentation that transcends numismatics alone.

The 8 Mints in Gold
|
As a novice collector, without a lot of money to spend, just looking for something respectable and sure to hold value as an investment. I wanted it to fit in a nice 8-place display case for graded coins that I found online, and provide a lot of diversity and discussion. Little did I know that there are only a limited number of ways to assemble this set (I.e. 1 gold coin from each mint; all different denominations and types). It proved to be a great exercise for a new collector, having to study all the types and histories, and be patient for just the right coin at an affordable price.

Cook Islands Masterpiece of Art S$20
|
I would like to think modern 3-D printing technology will soon apply to produce any coin creative designer can ever image, now it's a question of cost to produce it, not when. The traditional minting machine will walk into history just like the banknote printing industry. This’s a long series set from 2008-Date. Hope to assemble the whole set, still work in progress.
