I little quiz to test your common sense

I have not addressed the Hong Kong part of this because it is truely irrelevent as to how it got on to your COPY of a non-masonic, non-secret design of what was actually a pattern coin that never went into full production.

it was a masonic token to commemorate the declaration of indepenance

promote continential currency in other countries (including hong kong )

when minding their business (especially hong kong )

MIND YOUR BUSINESS (one of franklins sayings)

and bond members from around the world ..WE ARE ONE

however the WE ARE ONE saying is questinable ...it may have been to represent the fact that the LUNAR society group ( the MOON LODGE ) were also freemasons


and it was the MOON LODGE that FRANKLIN Boutlon WATT and MURDOCK belonged to



BOULTON owned the SOHO mint where the MOON LODGE hall was located


WATT was his partner and he designed the steam mint


MURDOCK was also his partner and he was also my great gr.gr.gr. UNCLE




The lunar Society held meetings once a month at midnight so the moon would shine down and light the path to the masonic hall which is represented on the coin by the masonic square


of course online it says its the sun and a sundial


what do you think ??

 

I think things are starting to make sense ......

more so than americas first coin was not so much as mentined in history books and there is no information about even the basic matters like date who made it where it was made


you would think if the coin circulated with in the general public they would at least know what it was worth


just doesnt make any sense ....!

 

Now you're not making sense, my friend!

 

Yeap, I called it first!

 

Um, again, "promote continential currency in other countries (including hong kong )"?

Why Hong Kong? Why not Zydborgopia on Alpha Centauri? Neither of them existed, so are you saying the masons can read the future?

HONG KONG DID NOT EXIST IN 1776! Can you please explain your way around that?

 

and if you guys who know so much about coins gave it a second thought

you might be able to help put the rest of the puzzel together ......

Ive come this far myself ...and i am almost there and the reason I have not sent it in to be slabbed is because i wanted to complete the puzzel so i could show the entire picture

and now that I can see it I am taking the final step of showing it for approval

of course those who refuse to open there eyes and have a look .....cant see it

 

I think I'll go kill some Zombies online now, will be more productive than reading this post any longer.

 

I have not sent the actual coin .... because I dont want it to get lost or go missing .in the mail system.....

but i have sent pictures and I am dealing with the process and when the time comes I will show my coin to them in person.

and dont worry you will see the certificate of authenticity as soon as i get it

 

irisheyes
you are ignoring everything I have said. the coin did not circulate because it was a pattern! It was designed to be instantly recognized as a coin because it had the same design as the Continental Currency 2/3 dollar bill that was already in circulation at the time. It was never put into circulation because a more economic method was found to resolve the counterfeiting problem of the time.

The design was NOT secret, it was in the pocket of evberyone in the colonies that had two nickels to rub together. It was a common design on the currency in circulation.

This has got to be the quote of the century!! I tell ya if I didn't have some serious A.D.D I would go back and read this thread from the beginning, cause that last line is a doozie!!!!

irisheyes, you are in some serious denial my friend!!

 

there is no puzzle here, just a lack of record keeping on a coin that was never released for public use.

 

if you think the continential currency coin was made in 1776 you need to learn about the cinage of early american history.....

Im surprised an expert like yourself would ask such a silly question.

however iI have not heard your silly answer yet !!!

 

why don't you open your eyes to all of my posts giving a simple and realistic explaination of the design.

 

And the engraver was drunk?
Have you ever seen something that was engraved by hand?

When i went to school i study'ed for jeweler, one of our classes where engraving by hand.
If there is one thing i am 100% sure of then it is tha that coin is NOT engraved by hand.
If there is something ik know i can recognize it is engravings by hand.

But you are right, we are all ignorant.
I will ask my talking dog of he knows what your coin is, and if he does not know he wil ask his friend, the flying pig...

 

you speak as though you were there ......so tell me how much was this big ole pewter coin worth

and when was it struck?

 

oh yes and when and where did you say it was struck ??

 

i have answered you question 3 times did you not see my posting

 

I did not say I knew where or when it was struck but the design is the same as is drawn on the 1776 Continental Currency 2/3 dollar bill. It is historical fact that these bills were counterfeited in large numbers. It is also historical fact that the counterfeiting problem was largely solved by Ben Franklin's Leaf Reverse design. As for coiuns being produced in Colonial New England, the first coins were produced in Boston in 1652 so there were coins being produced in the colonies in 1776. When was the Continental Dollar minted? most logically it would have been sometime in 1776. The design was not made to celebrate our independance because the 2/3 dollar that the design appears on was released Feb. 17, 1776 before the declaration was signed.
