ikaros Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Pending further additions, these are the ones that I know for sure I want to enter; I am going to try to get better images of some of these before the deadline. ikaros, Base Metal, 1801-1900, 1883 nickel, United States: ikaros 1883 US Liberty nickel 'no cents' ikaros, Base Metal, 1901-present, 1963 half crown, New Zealand: ikaros 1963 New Zealand half crown ikaros, Base Metal, 1901-present, 1938 nickel, United States: ikaros 1938 US Jefferson nickel ikaros, Base Metal, 1901-present, 1963 five cents, Netherlands Antilles: ikaros 1963 Netherlands Antilles 5 cents ikaros, Base Metal, Exonumia, 1969 Man in Space series, Gemini VII: ikaros 1969 Glendenning Man In Space series: Gemini VII Part of the Glendenning series on American spaceflight.

Unknown composition; soft base metal. I am entering two "special coins" on the basis of being issued by unrecognized governmental authorities (one seriously aspiring to legitimacy, the other rather less so): ikaros, Base Metal, Special Coins, 2009 42 Solaris/π MUs, Aerican Empire: ikaros 2009 Aerican Empire 42 Solaris/π MUs Minted 2009 for the micronation, The Aerican Empire. Total run was 100 coins. Composition is zinc alloy w/antique silver plate. ikaros, Base Metal, Special Coins, 2006 10 Shillings, Somaliland: ikaros 2006 10 shillings The issuing authority is de facto rather than de jure; the currency is not internationally recognized and does not have an official exchange rate, but it is reasonably stable and at least the paper currency is in use in the region. Composition is stainless steel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stilson Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Not sure on this one if it should be in this category. Since it was a circulating private issue coin.

Ætheling Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Knew this coin is going to stir something. Don't get me wrong, I do like it. I'm always interested in the unusual, just has that extra pull in this case is that it also happens to be poisonous too, I wonder how many fell ill from Antimony poisoning using these things in everyday transactions? Very similar effects to Arsenic by all accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Stilson Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 The main things I'm concerned for is George already set up the categories and did match up drawings. Kind of figure he's got enough on his plate. Next the main thing is it could open flood gates. Side note Scotto will be competing. He just gets a pass on the first round.

thedeadpoint Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Mark is right. Been a little preoccupied out east lol. I have no locked these threads because 1) I need to update them and I don't know if I can when they are locked, even as the admin, and 2) because i do make copies of each of my brackets posts to use on the other threads. Sorry you missed out this round of PCI, Jeff. I know you've got a lot of great coins that would do very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
