The Collaborative "Virtual 7070" Type Set Project

Good morning. It is Wednesday, March 25th.

Our type for today is the Indian Head Half Eagle (1908-29).

Here's mine. I bought it not for the pedigree (which I'd never heard of prior to purchasing it), nor for the mint error (though that was an interesting feature), but rather I bid on it just because I needed a $5 Indian type coin, and it was a 1911- my paternal grandmother's birthyear.

 

Yesterday, March 26th (I was out sick), our type was the Liberty Head Eagle (1838 - 1907).

Here's mine.

 

Today is March 27th, and our type is the Indian Head Eagle (1908-1933).

Since nobody posted yesterday, you may post ANY of your $10 gold pieces today, be they of the Liberty Head or Indian types.

Here is my $10 Indian. I think it is pretty nice for its relatively modest grade. I picked it partly because 1911 was my paternal grandmother's birthyear, and she was an early supporter of my hobby when I was a young collector.

My previous "best of type" was an MS63.

 

One of my favorite coin designs.

 

Good morning. It is Saturday, March 28th.

Today our type is the Liberty Head Double Eagle (1850-1907).

Here's mine.

 

Seems I'm the only one participating on this thread anymore, and I guess it didn't help that I was absent for a few days.

Let me play catchup.

March 29th: here's my Saint.








March 30th: Next the lineup goes to the Bicentennial coins.

Here's my Bicentennial quarter(s). I had to go back to my old early-2000s Registry type set, with the terrible scans. There were both clad and silver variants in that.







March 31st: here are my Bicentennial halves, from the same old type set.

 

April 1st.

Our next type is the Bicentennial Eisenhower Dollar (1976).

Again, I have to go back to my old 20th century type set from the early 2000s, with the scanned images. That set called for both the silver and clad versions.

 

Bicentennial Ike dollars.

Brings back a fond memory. Bear with me as I go off on a slight tangent, and down Memory Lane.

When I was a kid, back in the late '70s and very early '80s, my grandfather would have one big birthday party in the summertime for all of his grandchildren, up at his mountain farm in North Carolina. There would be lots of fun entertainment and nice gifts for all of us. (I still have two of the collector knives he gave me. One of them- a Randall- is worth a few hundred bucks now.)

Anyway, one June, for the grandchildren's party, Granddaddy took a big old wooden horse trough from the apple barn. It was not very high off the ground but was really long. He filled it with white sand. Buried in the sand were dozens and dozens of Bicentennial Ike dollars. He stood at the end of the trough with a stopwatch, and each of us grandkids were given an allotted amount of time to dig and sift through the sand to see how many coins we could scoop up. I think we were given something like one minute on the clock (the littler kids were given a bit longer). I forget how many Ikes I found. Maybe a dozen or so.

Anyway, if you'll forgive the brief digression, here's Granddaddy's WW2 deployment medal, and a picture of him from one of those parties at the farm.

 

I didnt have any gold to post, hence I skipped a few days. Now I can play again.

 

Good morning. Today is Thursday, April 2nd.

Our type today is the Susan B. Anthony Dollar (1979-99).

Here is the one from my early-2000s Registry type set. Prior to that one, I had a 1981-S in PCGS PR70 DCAM (OGH).
