关于此套币: A nearly Complete Certified Three Cent pattern collection. I am always looking to upgrade, so please contact me if you feel you have a pattern/splasher/die trial that may fit.
I started the collection in 1977 with my Father. We had nearly completed the Trime portion of the collection by 2000. At that time, I slowly began accumulating the Nickel portion. The Bob Simpson collection was largely a mirror image of ours lacking many of the Trimes and nearly complete with the Nickels. I was largely able to complete and fill in these missing patterns when his collection became available including upgrading a few of the Trimes.
Missing coins: J-112A and J-1260 are only certified coins left to finish the certified available coins. Although, my research concludes that the J-111A and J-112A, which are certified as restrikes likely should not even be categorized as such, as metallurgical testing has shown that restrikes likely do not exist. I believe J-804 to exist but not certified. If you have information regarding this pattern, please contact me
J-112A 2- 3 known Last Sale 6/05 Heritage Long Beach Lot 7355 ex. Bass BM 5/99 lot 1026. Metal testing suggests that restrikes do not exist and such this designation should likely be consolidated with J-112
J-114A Last sale Farouk Palace Collection 1954 Sothebys Lot 1738. Only 1 previous auction sale prior in 11/1887 Likely does not exist . Metallurgical testing shows that J-114 to be 86% copper. This would mean that J-114A would need to be nearly pure copper. I believe that in the Farouk sale that he had a copper appearing J-114
J-153 Last sale Woodward Mickley collection 10/1867 lot 2184 to Joseph Levick. Likely does not exist as described. May exist as regular strike 1853 in 90% silver not 75% silver. Metallurgical testing of existing 1853 business strikes may uncover this pattern
