Branch mint one-year-wonders … name one.

Here is another one from the Dahlonega Mint, the 1839-D Classic Head Quarter Eagle.

I accept that, but the Red Book doesn't.

Yup, and there is another very close to this one.

If you are a type collector, all of those Liberty Seated pieces are types. For example.

No Stars, "Red Book Variety #1



No Drapery - the No Drapery and With Drapery are lumped together in the Red Book.



With Drapery

 

Don't forget the 1838-D $5.

 

I agree, which makes the 1838-O Half Dimes and Dimes fit within this contest.

 

On three different occasions, you have used the same tactic and condescending replies to my opinions in other posts. It was time to level the playing field. No "thing" involved. Simply using your own tactic to explore the lack of knowledge and the crack in you numismatic knowledge omnipotence you continuously spout. I don't know you and you do not know me. I don't post to getting in a pissing contest. You don't have any interests in my posts, don't read. I note you never answer questions concerning same, in a manner that is not gobbledygobledness.
letitgo. I will do the same permanently concerning commentary or posts by you.
Fair enough?

My apologies to the OP for any perceived disruption to a very good thread.

 

Some people think that every coin that the Dahlonega Mint issued was poorly made, but this coin proves that assumption wrong. This coin is as sharp or sharper than the $5 Gold Classic Head coins the Philadelphia Mint made.

The citizens of Dahlonega took great pride in the coins from their new mint. The mint delivered its first batch of 80 $5 gold pieces on April 21, 1838. A local newspaper marked the appearance of the first "yellow boys" into the local economy.

The quality was not always this good, especially for the $1.00, $2.50 and $3.00 coins, but, on average, I think that Dahlonega made a better product than Charlotte.

 

1908-D No Motto $10 and $20.

 

I'll toss in another. 1839-O quarter eagle. See pics (sadly, not my coin).

Yes, the 1839-O quarter eagle is a great example. Did you know that are large number of them were struck with the dies rotated in the medal, not the coin position? They were the first New Orleans gold coins.

 

Agree with you -- 1838-O no stars half dime.

 

1875-S 20c piece.
