The Collaborative "Virtual 7070" Type Set Project

Thank you, Corgi. I’ve been busy/sidetracked. Will do my own catchup in a little while.

 

Thanks for (partially) keeping the ball rolling while I was gone. Here is a catchup post to keep this thread in sync with the parallel one over on the CU forums.

So here are the types from the days I was away:

3/15: Liberty Seated Dollar Motto (1866-73) - I don't currently have one, and lost the pics of the ones I used to own.


3/16: Trade Dollar (1873-83) - My present type coin is a mere VF35, but I like it for its nice original CircCam appearance.







3/17: Morgan Dollar (1878-1921) - While the NGC photos of my type coin are decent, they do not exhibit the full luster. It is flashier than these pics indicate.








3/17: ☘️ (Bonus Saint Patrick's Day coin) - Ireland: 1805 bronzed copper proof halfpenny of George III, Soho Mint - OK, so this is a bit of a digression here, but hey, you've gotta love a pristine 221-year-old proof coin, right?








3/18: Peace Dollar (1921-35) - You should see this one in hand. It's a real lusterbomb with faint champagne-gold toning, in an OGH.

 

Good morning. It is Thursday, March 19th. Our type for today is the...

Eisenhower Dollar (1971-78). Note that this refers only to the regular design Ike dollars, NOT the Bicentennial coins. We'll get to all the Bicentennial coins later in the lineup, after we've run through the gold.

I presently do not own any Ike dollars, so I will have to fall back on my early-2000s PCGS Registry type set, with its horrid scanned images. (That set lineup included both silver and clad versions of the regular Ike dollars.)
