[Game] World Coins Time Machine… Counting Backward by Year! (Plus Prize Coin)

Just got back from work
Easy answer, work=$=buying more nice coins
My 2017 goal is to add 50 new coins to my collection, from April to Dec. I go full bore, seven days a week, dawn to dusk. However, I have the whole Winter off to enjoy snowmobiling/ hiking with my Rottweiler/ enjoying my coin collection/ bidding in auctions. I have around 840 coins at present.

I now have at least one coin from every century back to 650 BC. Around 100+ from 1700-1799.

 

Looks like time for 1871 (or Meiji 4 as the case may be):

Not Japan!

I love the Seated Liberty Dollars, my 7070 need this two coins...

 

USA Seated Liberty Dollar


I don't have this one anymore. I sold it at a loss because I questioned the toning as AT and appeared to be cleaned. It rested in my 7070 for a few years until I decided to break up and sell most of the collection. I still have an 1859o in a PCGS VF25 slab. One of these days it too will go.

 

Jersey.
1/26 of a shilling 1871.

 

Prince Edward Island.
One cent 1871.

 

German States - Prussia - 1871 3 Pfennig

 

Portugal 1871 20 Reis

 

photo doesn't do the coin justice, but I love the type too so I'll show it anyway,
Prince Edward Island 1871 Large Cent



Latin phrase "PARVA SUB INGENTI", translated as "The small beneath the great"; large oak tree symbolizing England sheltering 3 smaller trees symbolizing PEI's 3 counties.
Minted at the Heaton mint but no mintmark.
PEI's government would experience difficulties in placing the coins in circulation—10 years were needed for the government to get rid of them.
The last of the coins were sold at a 10 percent discount.

 

I went through my albums and pulled out a lot of my older coins to scan. Hopefully I can keep up with this thread. Here are some 1871s.

 

Sorry it's taken me so long to respond I've been tied up with some family issues that have kept me away from CT for the last week and a half.

I think the pace has been working really well. I don't think we need a hard fast rule necessarily but I would say as a guideline It is acceptable to flip the date if the thread has been inactive for 24+ hours.

It has been a ton of fun catching up on this thread! Wow you guys and gals have some cool stuff! I unfortunately missed a few of my favorite dates but I should be able to jump back in a few times here in the 1860s.
