<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brandon spiegel, post: 2433271, member: 67787&quot;]If I were to have a coin collection, I would have a 1792 large cent in VF condition, silver center, a mint state 65 red 1857 Braided Hair Large cent, and an uncirculated 1922 Lincoln wheat back cent. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.coinfacts.com/patterns/1792_patterns/1792_silver_center_cent_obv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://www.coinfacts.com/patterns/1792_patterns/1792_silver_center_cent_rev.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The coin depicted above was designed by Henry Voigt, who was born in 1738 and was the first us coin designer. Before designing this coin, he ran a wire mill, and plaid an important role in some of the founding fathers lives, helping to improve their day to day lives, and thus america as a whole in that respect. He even repaired watches and clocks for Thomas Jefferson! This coin is particularly chosen for its quality eye appeal, and role that it plays in the history of American coinage. This coin was one of the first coins to be made by the Philadelphia mint, which had just opened months before this coin was minted from the us mint, and has a silver center which was placed there in an effort to make the coin smaller, (which was successful because its diamiter was only 23mm, as opposed to the 18.5 mm that was on the braided hair large cent. This coin will be included in the collection to provide for a Trophy coin, that can be shown off in order to impress others; and show the awesomeness, and equity of early american coinage.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;The second coin will be a 1857 large cent that is PCGS graded in PROOF 66 Brown condition.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://dyn1.heritagestatic.com/lf?set=path%5B1%2F1%2F3%2F6%2F2%2F11362418%5D%2Csizedata%5B293x500%5D&amp;call=url%5Bfile%3Aproduct.chain%5D" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://dyn1.heritagestatic.com/lf?set=path%5B1%2F1%2F3%2F6%2F2%2F11362433%5D%2Csizedata%5B293x500%5D&amp;call=url%5Bfile%3Aproduct.chain%5D" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This coin was originally designed by Christian Golbrecht, and was first minted in 1839. Golbecht first thought of this design while looking at the figure of love, that was first depicted in Benjamin west painting. Golbecht was one of the greatest designers of coins in United States history, and would go on to design many important, and classic designs for US coinage such as the ones depicted on the seated half dime, seated dime, seated quarter, seated&nbsp; half dollar, seated dollar, and Golbrechet dollar. (which was a pattern.) This coin is in the collection to display how so many great changes occurred in US coin designs, within less than a persons lifetime (65 years).</p><p><br /></p><p>The third coin that will be in this collection is an NGC graded, uncirculated red 1922 wheat back cent.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/jK8AAOxy0zhTM0ki/s-l500.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/HJwAAOxy039TM0ki/s-l500.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />&#039;</p><p>This coin was designed by Victor David Brenner and was first minted in 1909. Victor David Brenner was born in 1871 in Lithuania by Jewish parents. He immigrated to America in 1890, and studied in Pairs as a medalist. He designed this coin after suggesting to have a coin with Lincolns bust on it to Theodore Roosevelt, and got his permission to do so, because Roosevelt was impressed with a centennial plaque that he designed for him earlier. This coin will be in the collection to further display how there was an even greater change in the US mints coin designs within another 65 years, because the mint changed from utilizing large cent plachets, to a small cent plachets, and is another coin that can provide room for upgrades in this collection because there are designations with the mint mark for this particular coin, such as the 1922 &quot;no d&quot; mint mark, which is important to note because the cent was only minted in the Denver mint during this year.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This collection will bring together 3 important coin designs, and designers to provide an collection that can be provide new meaning to very advanced collectors type sets.&nbsp; Furthermore, it will provide room for substations because it is based on a 65 year period, which can be altered to provide for a more meaningful timeline that will adapt to anyone&#039;s budget. Also, it depicts the cent, which is a coin that has touched many american hearts for hundreds of years, and if effectively utalized; can be shown to the public to help show the important of the cent in American History.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; WORK CITED</p><p><a href="http://www.coinfacts.com/patterns/1792_patterns/1792_judd_01.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinfacts.com/patterns/1792_patterns/1792_judd_01.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinfacts.com/patterns/1792_patterns/1792_judd_01.htm</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.usacoinbook.com/encyclopedia/coin-designers/henry-voigt/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.usacoinbook.com/encyclopedia/coin-designers/henry-voigt/" rel="nofollow">http://www.usacoinbook.com/encyclopedia/coin-designers/henry-voigt/</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/itm/proof-large-cents/1857-1c-large-cent-small-date-n-3-low-r5-pr66-brown-pcgs/a/1206-4271.s?ic4=OtherResults-SampleItem-071515" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/itm/proof-large-cents/1857-1c-large-cent-small-date-n-3-low-r5-pr66-brown-pcgs/a/1206-4271.s?ic4=OtherResults-SampleItem-071515" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/itm/proof-large-cents/1857-1c-large-cent-small-date-n-3-low-r5-pr66-brown-pcgs/a/1206-4271.s?ic4=OtherResults-SampleItem-071515</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://coinauctionshelp.com/BraidedLargeCent.html#.V00EDJErKhd" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coinauctionshelp.com/BraidedLargeCent.html#.V00EDJErKhd" rel="nofollow">http://coinauctionshelp.com/BraidedLargeCent.html#.V00EDJErKhd</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/1922-D-Lincoln-Wheat-Cent-1C-NGC-Uncirculated-Rare-Date-MS-BU-UNC-Coin-/182151133370?hash=item2a690db8ba:g:998AAOxyhXRTM0ki" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/1922-D-Lincoln-Wheat-Cent-1C-NGC-Uncirculated-Rare-Date-MS-BU-UNC-Coin-/182151133370?hash=item2a690db8ba:g:998AAOxyhXRTM0ki" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/1922-D-Lincoln-Wheat-Cent-1C-NGC-Uncirculated-Rare-Date-MS-BU-UNC-Coin-/182151133370?hash=item2a690db8ba:g:998AAOxyhXRTM0ki</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.thewheatpenny.com/the-designer-of-the-wheat-penny-victor-david-brenner/1357/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.thewheatpenny.com/the-designer-of-the-wheat-penny-victor-david-brenner/1357/" rel="nofollow">http://www.thewheatpenny.com/the-designer-of-the-wheat-penny-victor-david-brenner/1357/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
