<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brandon spiegel, post: 2339808, member: 67787&quot;]Thank you I appreciate it, here is the rewrite:</p><p>I would have the flying eagle cent, the Gobrecht dollar, and the three dollar princess head in one type set. I would include these coins because the flying eagle cent which was first minted as a pattern in 1856 was designed by Jmaes Buchanan Longacre and was the first small cent ever produced by the United States. I choose to have this coin because it contains the obverse from the Gobrecht dollar and the refers from the three dollar Indian princess head. I choose to also have the Gilbert dollar(which is also a pattern) because its obverse design that was designed by christian Gobrecht, one of the most talented engravers to ever work at the mint. I find it interesting that the obverse which contains a soaring eagle was adapted for the use of the obverse of the small cent; legend has it that the bird depicted on the dollar was modeled after peter, who was the mints mascot and ran afoul of a flywheel and lost his life(according to History of the united states mints and its coinage by David W. Lange, page 46). This set would also include an 1854 Indian princess head. This is because the reverse design was adapted for the use of the flying eagle small cent. Furthermore, 1854 it is the first year that this three dollar gold coin was minted and it was minted at three different mints. So you could choose to have one from Danglough north carolina, new Orleans or Philadelphia. this allows for the ability for this coin to be upgraded extensively with starting out by having a more common coin from the Philadelphia mint. This type set would be good because it would be extremely impressive to have quality examples of these three coins and an interesting correlation that the designs have. Also, the unique history and beauty will be something that every coin collector would want to show off in the type set I would include an 1836 Gilbert dollar to the left, in the center an 1856 flying eagle cent, and to the right a 3 dollar princess head to the right. I find it interesting how all of the designs connect together, and how each coin has had a different impact on the history of america.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
