<p>[QUOTE=&quot;charley, post: 7600025, member: 5372&quot;]What? That &quot;tiny change in alloy&quot; ordered by Congress, and done so to establish our coinage on an equal footing, was one of the most important decisions made concerning the value of our coinage.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, the 1836 des not constitute a type coin? Really?</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Fine, again I will state you are correct. I am easy. What other differences concerning the 1836 don&#039;t meet your expectations of type coin?</p><p><br /></p><p>Before you answer, and to be fair, look up 8 April 2008 What is a type coin thread here.</p><p><br /></p><p>Concerning Mr. Bowers, he was of the opinion for many years that the 1836 RE was a Pattern (in fact many numismatists collected it as such). His thoughts evolved, eventually. I assume you also believe the 1200 mintage Red Book mantra. Do you base this simply on Red Book Research? Do you know when the alloy change was made, and how the 1837 and other pieces did not have the same alloy content as the 1836?? I can&#039;t find it in the Red Book. Or the book by Mr. Bowers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
