| Â | Irish Milled Coinage (1680 - 1823) |
| | In April 1690 James was running short of brass and he reduced the size of the gunmoney coins and issued a smaller shilling and halfcrown, there was an overlap between the introduction of the small coins and the cessation of production of the large ones. | | | In a recent conversation an American numismatist suggested that the VOOE error is actually an O entered into the die in error and that the apparently earlier coins are in fact later coins after a repair had been carried out on the die. |

| | The set consists of the regular issue dates from 1859 through 1909, a total of 52 coins. | | | From the mint these coins were often wrapped in tissue paper to protect them from handling marks and fingerprints - as they were not released into general circulation, this tissue paper caused them to acquire vibrant colors not seen on regular issue coins. | | | When compared to the average regular issue coins, proof Indian Head Cents are little works of art - they were intended for connoisseur collectors and sold to them by the Philadelphia Mint separate from the regular issue coins. |

| | However, they are awaiting discovery, the best test is to check all 1875 three cent nickels, if the coin is magnetic, its one of the two struck in pure nickel, otherwise, its just a regular copper-nickel alloy, as usually seen (Breen). | | | There are a couple of minor lint marks on the obverse, as made, as the coiner wiped the dies frequently during the coining process to keep them free of grease or metal flecks. | | | Two were struck in pure nickel as an experiment for Joseph Wharton, the nickel mine owner who supplied the Philadelphia Mint, and these remain unlocated. |

| | Original Gem reduced size (1829-1837) bust coinage is, in our opinion, a terrific value in today's market and today's collector is afforded an opportunity to put together a type set of high quality issues for reasonable sums. | | | This is a remarkable piece with very clean surfaces and expressive frosty luster that looks more like a date from the late 1880's than from the late 1860's. | | | In addition, this lovely Type Two nickel is very vibrant and has a level of eye appeal that is not often seen on examples of this issue. |

| | Although 1794 silver dollars are rare, these early dollars dated "1794" through "1803" can readily be found in the marketplace today. | | | But, in spite of its origins, the 1804 Dollar is one of the most desirable U.S. coins, and it continues to set price records when an example comes on the market! | | | We know this because the only known Class II 1804 Dollar was struck over an 1857 Swiss Shooting Thaler, a silver dollar sized coin, and a few silver dollars dated "1804" got out of the mint in 1858. |

| Â | A New Look at Coinage Redesign |
| | Commemorative coinage, with all its attendant abuses, drew the hobby's attention away -- and even led many (including this writer) to question the wisdom of changing our regular coins at a time when bad designs were running rampant on new "commems." | | | The statehood quarter program has been a real bonanza for the coin collecting hobby; some have suggested, in fact, that it's giving the hobby greater -- and more positive -- exposure than anything else before it. | | | Not so many years ago, redesign of regular U.S. coinage was a hot-button issue in our hobby. |

| | Although the dime is an essential part of the decimal coinage system, it was one of the last coins issued by the United States Mint when operations first began. | | | The first regular issue silver coins had featured the so-called Flowing Hair portrait of Miss Liberty, but by 1796 this likeness had given way to a more sedate Draped Bust portrait—and that’s the one that appeared on the very first dimes. | | | Commercial needs were met adequately by the large numbers of Spanish reales then in circulation: The one-real coin, worth one “bit.” or 12-1/2 cents, provided a convenient and readily available means to pay for small purchases. |
