1796 w/o Pole Half Cent exact-size repro struck on planchet of approximately correct specs, COPY neatly worked into reverse.  This one has a simulated split die crack running from about 2:30 to about 9:00 o'clock just like on most of the few two dozen or so originals known!  Factory Toned-Brown $42.00 or BU $37.00

1796 w/o Pole Half Cent exact-size repro struck on planchet of approximately correct specs, COPY neatly worked into reverse.  Impaired Proof (PR-64). Does not have the split die crack as on the above.  Only one in stock! $45.00

This 1792 United States Silver Center Cent is a faithful reproduction of this classic rarity!  It is one of several denominations of proposed coinage dated 1792.  The proposed coinage of that year was of course never actually adopted with all pieces extant now considered rare in any grade.  About 13 pieces of the original cents are extant with values ranging from about $100,000 to $300,000 for the known grades.
   The reverse shows "COPY" neatly worked into the reverse, in accordance with The Hobby Protection Act.   These were struck one at a time with each planchet placed on the lower die by hand.  They were also struck without the benefit of a closed collar so that the metal would flow and impart unique characteristics to each coin -- just like original coins of the era.
   It looks, feels and rings like the real coin!   This is the perfect coin for collectors who can't afford the thousands of dollars a genuine piece would cost or for those who's genuine piece is locked in a certification slab.  Fits perfectly into the collection!  Isn't it time to fill that hole? Brown-Toned $49.95 BU $45.95

This die-struck 1792 Birch Cent is a faithful reproduction of this classic rarity!  It is one of several denominations of proposed coinage dated 1792 that was prepared by Robert Birch (perhaps with the help of others) that year.  While most issues actually did circulate, the proposed coinage of 1792 was of course never actually adopted with all pieces extant now considered extreme rarities today.  A Guidebook of United States Coins (The Red Book) lists the one cent pieces of 1792 with surviving specimens ranging from 13 known for Birch's "Silver Center" cent to one-known for the G*W.Pt issue and eight known for this issue.  Prices range in the hundreds of thousands of dollars for any of the issues in any grades!   The reverse shows "COPY" neatly worked into the reverse, in accordance with The Hobby Protection Act.   These were struck one at a time with each planchet placed on the lower die by hand.  They were also struck without the benefit of a closed collar so that the metal would flow and impart unique characteristics to each coin -- just like original coins of the era. It looks, feels and rings like a real cent!   This is the perfect coin for collectors who can't afford the hundreds of thousands of dollars a genuine high-grade 1792 Birch Cent (of any type) would cost or for those who's genuine piece is locked in a certification slab.  Fits perfectly into the collection!  Isn't it time to fill that hole?  It looks, feels and rings like a real cent!   This is the perfect coin for collectors who can't afford the hundreds of thousands of dollars a genuine high-grade 1792 Birch Cent (of any type) would cost or for those who's genuine piece is locked in a certification slab.  Fits perfectly into the collection!  Isn't it time to fill that hole? BU $45.95


Here is a view of the lettered edge

This die-struck 1792 Birch Cent with G*W.Pt (George Washington President) below wreath is a faithful reproduction of this classic rarity!  It is one of several denominations of proposed coinage dated 1792 that was prepared by Robert Birch (perhaps with the help of others) that year.   An original of this coin that is still known to exist is presently unique and was minted as a trial strike in white metal; any of the copper issues that we may presume were minted are now unknown today!  The proposed coinage of 1792 was of course never actually adopted with all pieces extant now considered extreme rarities today.  A Guidebook of United States Coins (The Red Book) lists the one cent pieces of 1792 with surviving specimens ranging from 13 known for Birch's "Silver Center" cent to one-known for this G*W.Pt issue.  Prices range in the hundreds of thousands of dollars for any of the issues in any grades!   The one offered here is minted on a pure copper planchet just like it would have been if the design type would have been adopted, (we can also presume that a few were struck in copper but no longer exist or have not yet come to light); the reverse shows "COPY" neatly worked into the reverse, in accordance with The Hobby Protection Act.   These were struck one at a time with each planchet placed on the lower die by hand.  They were also struck without the benefit of a closed collar so that the metal would flow and impart unique characteristics to each coin -- just like original coins of the era. It looks, feels and rings like a real cent!   This is the perfect coin for collectors who can't afford the hundreds of thousands of dollars a genuine high-grade 1792 Birch Cent (of any type) would cost or for those who's genuine piece is locked in a certification slab.  Fits perfectly into the collection!  Isn't it time to fill that hole?   It looks, feels and rings like a real cent!   This is the perfect coin for collectors who can't afford the hundreds of thousands of dollars a genuine high-grade 1792 Birch Cent (of any type) would cost or for those who's genuine piece is locked in a certification slab.  Fits perfectly into the collection!  Isn't it time to fill that hole?

1856 Flying Eagle Cent Ty-1 struck on planchet of approximately correct specs; 19mm, 4.85 grams, thick CuNi planchet; rev shows "COPY" incuse in ribbon of wreath, nice UNC strike 5000 reported struck $14.95

Confederate States Cents


This is the standard copper-nickel variety

History of the Originals:  Only 12 pieces of the original coin were struck in 1861 in copper-nickel by the Philadelphia engraver and die-sinker, Robert Lovett, Jr.  After making them, Lovett became terrified that Union officials would find him out and he'd be convicted and sentenced to death for treason.  He decided against delivering the dies and coins to the Confederate government and hid them in his cellar (holding just one coin aside as a pocket piece).   Later, he mistakenly spent his pocket coin in a local tavern and after a bit of coaxing the story became known.  Still later he was talked into selling the coins and dies after which restrikes were made in copper, gold and silver; these are known as the "Heseltine restrikes" named after the maker, Capt. John W. Haseltine.  The original copper-nickel and "off metal" restrikes are rare and highly sought-after with prices starting at about $6,000 for the cheapest restrike (the gold is $25,000) up to $30,000 for one of the originals.

1977 Proposed Flowing Hair Liberty Head Mini-Dollar!  This is an exact-size faithful reproduction of Frank Gasparros' pattern dollar proposed for the new Mini-Dollar that was supposed to replace the rarely used and unwieldy large Eisenhower dollar.  It is the coin that was ultimately rejected in favor of the now familiar -- though sort-lived -- Susan B. Anthony dollar which Gasparro, who favored his earlier proposals, begrudgingly had to design and was issued starting in 1979.  See more on this story and images of the actual pattern strikes here: 1977 Gasparro Dollar.  While at least some if not all of Gasparro's pattern strikes were made in the standard clad metal we decided to spice these repros up by striking them in pure silver!  $32.00

The Legendary
1933 Saint Gaudens
$20 Gold Piece
"Exact-Size" Reproduction

Photo © Ken Potter 2008
Normal Frosty Finish

    This is a faithful reproduction of the ultra-rare 1933 Saint Gaudens $20 Gold Piece!  An executive order issued in March of 1933, recalled all common-date gold coins and in effect -- took the United States off the "gold standard" forever.  As a result, nearly the entire mintage of 1933 Saint Gaudens Gold $20 Double Eagles was melted by the government!
    Only a few pieces, then thought to have been clandestinely removed from the Mint, and one other officially given to King Farouk of Egypt, escaped this initial destruction (many or perhaps all of the clandestine pieces have since been seized by the Treasury Department and most presumably destroyed).
    Every collector should have been able to own one of these historic coins and now you can!  The Royal Oak Mint version is struck on a pure silver planchet that has been double plated in pure 24 karat gold and is of correct diameter (within reasonable tolerances); the reverse shows "COPY" incuse, neatly and inconspicuously worked into the field behind the word AMERICA.  It looks like the real thing and it fits perfectly into the collection!  Isn't it time for you to fill that hole?

Special Issues From ROM

1895-D Morgan Peace Dollar
"Mule"
Brilliant Uncirculated
Or
Toned

 "Exact Size" Reproduction
  

    This is the Royal Oak Mint's "exact size" reproduction of their first attempt at a Morgan Dollar Obverse "muled" with a Peace Dollar Reverse.  On this attempt, ROM ultimately decided that the production department had created this rarity with an obverse die that was a bit too worn (it shows a bit of weakness in the hair due to die polishing and use) and rejected the coins (and then created a new obverse die for future strikings of their 1895 Branch Mint coins).
    Interestingly, they never returned to the concept of creating a business strike version of a Morgan/Peace Dollar Mule -- though they later settled on creating both a Morgan/Peace and Peace/Morgan Mule in Cameo Proof ( which we will also be offering as soon a time permits us to get them into the listings -- or just email me for a price).  ROM has indicated that they will never make more mules of this coin and that the total mintage is set at 20 pieces worldwide.
    Of that mintage, 15 were left, (five were given away), sitting on a tray destined to be returned to the production department, along with about 200 coins, for destruction.  Before doing so, ROM allowed me to review the batch of 200+ coins and offered to sell any that I wanted at a reduced price.
    Originally my intent was to find some of the rejected MS63/64 dollars, (ROM only delivers MS65 or better), for use in jewelry and belt buckles.  After buying all of these, I was shown the "Mules" and decided to buy every one of them too.  Even if they were a bit weak in hair detail, I knew that some of the die-hard ROM fans would want one!
    Since the coins were left out sitting on a tray for well over a year, some that were near a window have developed very nice toning while others are still perfectly white.  We show an example of the toned pieces simply because they scan better.  You may ask for a toned version or a brilliant version.   All of these coins will grade MS65 or better.  Get yours at just $85.00 while the small supply lasts!

Special Silver-Cent Issues  

Ever since Royal Oak Mint first issued the 1856 Flying Eagle Cent reproductions, a  segment of our buyers have been asking if any of the non-silver issues will ever be struck in a special edition of silver.  In response to that demand ROM has decided to issue all the cents in .999 fine silver.  The following dates are now available in silver: 1793 Chain, 1793 Wreath, 1793 Liberty Cap 1799, 1804, 1856, 1877 Proof, 1909-S Indian Head Proof, 1909-S Lincoln, 1909-S VDB, 1914-D, 1922 No D, 1943-D, 1944, 1955/55 Doubled Die and 1974.  The mintage on these coins is strictly limited to 100 pieces.  No more will be made.
    In an interesting twist of never ending errors from ROM, the minting facility created two major errors while minting these issues.  After striking the 1909-S VDB, they went on to strike the 1914-D and 1922 with the same reverse die bearing the VDB.  Thus there will be an "error" version and a "corrected" version for the 1914-D and 1922.  The Royal Oak Mint is almost sold out on all of these issues which will they will never strike again!   We offer them as follows:

1793 Liberty Cap Half Cent    $35.00
1793 Chain Cent BU Struck in .999 fine silver     $49.00

Trial Strikes - Errors - Pièces de Caprice


This is one of the trial strikes made with a matte finish -- mintage only 10

1861 Confederate Cent struck on copper planchet of approximately correct specs; rev shows "COPY" neatly worked into wreath as required by the Hobby Protection Act Satin or matte finish.  Mintage only 10  $75.00

1856 Flying Eagle "Matte Specimen" Strike!   This is one of the first 196 pieces that ROM made for its first issue.  Most all were sold at coin shows in Michigan within 50 miles of ROM to introduce their product to see how it would go.  We purchased well over half the mintage but have been out of this one for a couple of years with only one or two pieces coming back in from the secondary market.  Even at $75 each -- we could not keep these in stock!  We have just located two pieces in the Michigan area and offer them here to the collectors who must have them all or the best!  These first production strikes had a light satiny matte finish that ROM decided it did not desire for their regular run.  In fact the finish turned out to be far superior to that of the later production strikes!  Just check out the detail and fine finish shown in the images above!  In the past we've sold these for as high as $75.  The two offered here are struck through a tiny bit of lint (which actually plagued the majority of first strikes).  Though rather typical of the issue, we'll call these MS64+.  In truth -- they are gems!  We offer them each at  $65.00

1856 Flying Eagle Cent "Trial Strike" from Transfer Dies.  When ROM broke their obverse die for this issue they attempted to resurrect it, (for additional proof strikes that were planned but never made), by creating one via the "spark erosion" or EDM process.  While the quality of the die may have been suitable to some, at least for regular strikes, ROM felt it was inferior and abandoned the project.  Only 12 trial strikes were made from this die (which was paired with the original reverse).  There are a number of interesting "blems" or "spikes" in the obverse fields of this coin that make it distinctive from the earlier issues.  We purchased half the mintage and offer specimens at the Mint's price.  They come packaged up with the pertinent information hand written on the holder and initialed by ROM's president.    $50.00

1921 Walking Liberty/Hawaii 50c "Mule" Trials

Most folks have no idea of the time and expense ROM goes through to produce dies they deem acceptable for their rare-coin-reproductions.  ROM's 1921 Walking Liberty half dollars (which they made for all three Mints) is a prime example.  ROM had to make three obverse dies for the 1921 WLH before an acceptable die was produced. Of those three dies, four distinct obverse varieties were made. Die pair 1 was created with designs and fields that were too flat and both dies and were rejected with only 10 trial strikes made for each of the three Mints (P, D, S). Die pair 2 resulted in an acceptable reverse but an obverse that had the date entered into the die at a slight angle as if in italics and was rejected, again with only 10 trials made for each Mint.  Undoubtedly the most interesting were those ROM ordered the production department to strike of their third version of the obverse. To make Die pair 3, Obverse Die 2 was sent to a NY firm that specializes in die repair who welded in the date with a patch for D2 steel. The die was then send to an engraver for finishing and reentry of the date.  After that the die was sent to the heat treater and then back to the production department where thirty-five trials were ordered struck struck with just one reverse.  To the dismay of ROM, it came in with a larger than normal date!  Thus, that obverse die, like its predecessors, was ultimately rejected.  Even stranger though, was the fact that the production department mistakenly struck the trials for Die pair 3 with the Commemorative Hawaiian half dollar reverse that was on hand.  Thus, ROM's Die pair 3 (or Ty-3 if you prefer) 1921 Walking Liberty half obverse w/Large Date is only available with a Hawaiian reverse!  Apparently, nobody in the production department remembered what the reverse for the WLH looked like!  It is a true "mule" made in error and no more will be made.  We have several available at ROM's official price of $65.00 each.
