US Mint "Revival Set".

Many of us would like to see many classic designs of US coinage come back.

I think that if everyone one of us here at CT made a petition, maybe we could get something done.

What I would like to see is a "revival set". A set of coins, made from fine silver and other metals, that are of the old designs we had.

A good set I would like to see is.

Cent- Indian Head
Nickel- V Nickel
Dime- Seated Dime
Quarter- Barber Quarter
Half Dollar- Capped Bust
Dollar- Morgan dollar.

The entire set would be made in proof , and and all but the nickel and cent be made from fine silver.

Of course all the coins would bear the year 2013, so people wouldn't pass them off as old.

I think this would be a very good seller for the mint as it would allow many collectors to enjoy the beauty of old designs inexpensively.

Nice idea.
I'd like to see:
Cent- Indian Head
Nickel- Buffalo
Dime- Winged Liberty
Quarter- Standing Liberty
Half Dollar- Walking Liberty
Dollar- Gold Dollar

All coins, except the Gold Dollar, in .900 silver.

 

This first thing we would have to do is come to a consensus of which designs the coins would have.

Personally I prefer:
Cent- Flying Eagle
Nickel- Shield Nickel
Dime- Seated Dime
Quarter- Standing Liberty
Half Dollar- Capped Bust
Dollar- Trade Dollar

 

I think the gold dollar would make the set too expensive for people.

 

I agree with Rick; mint all of the less than $1 face coins in silver, even the nickel and penny.

 

I still wonder why they didn't release a wheat cent in 2009 :rollling:

 

Who could afford it? Have you noticed the price of wheat lately?

 

Great ideas fellows. They put the reverse of the Morgan Dollar on the 2006 San Fran Old Mint commemorative and did a real nice job with it. Also with the $5 gold with the eagle reverse. Would't mind a bit if they did some restrikes. Wonder if they have any of those old dies lyin' around in a warehouse somewhere.........

 

I think they sent them all to china.

 

Cent- Indian Head
Nickel- Buffalo
Dime- Mercury
Quarter- Standing Liberty
Half Dollar- Walking Liberty
Dollar- Draped Bust

 

Wanna see me make this even more complicated?

Half cent: Draped bust
Large cent: Liberty cap
Small cent: Flying Eagle
Two cent: Large motto
3 cent silver: type 2
3 cent nickel: are there multiple varieties?
half dime: 1792
nickel: buffalo
dime: seated
20 cent: seated
quarter: barber
half: capped bust
dollar: morgan

However, I would ventrue to say they could maximize sales by having an example of each major type of each denomination before 1900 or 1930. Like a capped, seated, barber, merc dime. but maybe that would put it past the budget of a lot of people. but at least hopefully theyt would have some relief to them and be silver.

 

Maybe. Or possibly the Island of Fuego..........

 

I would love to see the entire US type set restruck in their natural metals. They should carry a date that would have originally been on the coin, but have edge printing of the current date. I would wait in line for that one.

 

Why not just put the current date on the coins?

 

Nah, more fun with the old one. Like the 1804 Dollar........

 

I think it would pose to much of a risk with counterfeiters.

 

How so? The blaggarts are doing it anyway.....Something in OGP with a certificate of authenticity would be most marvelous indeed.

 

i like the idea maybe they could do something like they did with the quarters and just release certain types each year.it may be very popular and if they did do it this way they could also do the same with gold by including some of the california and other state types for the guys who would like gold.just a thought.

 

I like the idea of creating a set like this, but with todays date. It just seems more natural and unique that way. I never was a fan of 100% undetectable restrikes.

 

10c Barber
25c Barber
50c Barber

Who cares about the rest....
