    Does anyone collect transitional date pairs? Seems like a fun collecting focus.

    The SS Sirius was a wooden-hulled sidewheel steamer built in 1837. In early 1838, it was chartered by the British & American Steam Navigation Co. to voyage across the Atlantic to New York. The Sirius arrived in New York on 22 April 1838 to great celebrations, having steamed 2,897 nautical miles at an average of 161 nautical miles per day. It achieved distinction as the first steamship ever to cross the Atlantic.

    A view of Detroit, in 1909. Horse-drawn wagons and automobiles shared the city streets. That year, there were 200,000 motorized vehicles in the United States. Just seven years later, in 1916, there were 2.25 million.

    Good idea. Have to check how many there are. Right now other than the ones you've shown all I can think of are the 1938 Buffalo & Jefferson nickels and the 1916 Dimes and Quarters.

    Without looking, I think there maybe are some PCGS Registry sets for this? I'll have to check later. I know of people over on the CU site who have collected along this theme.

    A bit more expensive, perhaps, but aren't there also transitional pairs for the 1907 gold eagles and double eagles?

    What about the 1857 Large cent and 1857 Flying Eagle? The 1856 Flying Eagle was a presentation piece, not a business strike.

    How about the 1839 Capped bust half dollar and Liberty seated half with drapery and without drapery wood that count as 3 ?

    Can we go ahead and rule out the 1913 nickels?

    A few more:
    1883 shield and liberty nickels
    1837 capped bust and liberty seated dimes
    1873 liberty seated and trade dollars
    1834 capped and classic head $2.5
    1807 draped and capped $5
    1834 capped and classic $5
    1908 Liberty and Indian $5
    Also, somewhere in the 3 cent pieces transitioned.

    In 1865, there are actually two different 5 cent coins and two different 3 cent coins

    1839 was a transition year for the large cent and 1916 for the dime and quarter coins. A 1916 SLQ may be cost prohibitive however...

    Yes. It is my least favorite super rare, super expensive coin. It was made and marketed under nefarious circumstances.

    The 1834 Capped and Classic Head $2.50 and $5.00 gold coins are even worse in that regard. Both of the Capped Head gold pieces are quite often more, usually much more expensive than a 1916 Standing Liberty Quarter. They are much rarer also.

    The 1913 Liberty Nickel was never intended to be a business strike.

    Concur. They shouldn’t exist. Just my opinion.

    Here’s my transitional date trio, so to speak.
