syzygy Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 John Reich is my favorite US coin designer. He designed many of the US Bust coins between Robert Scott and Christian Gobrecht. There is plenty of info available on him – check out a search…there is even a John Reich Society (http://www.jrcs.org/default.html - actually they are not just about Reich coins). Here is my humble John Reich type set. All lower grades and missing the gold issues, but beautiful to me nonetheless. 1829 Half Cent (1809-1836) 1814 Cent (1808-1814) 1835 Dime (1809-1828 [actually two varieties]) 1821 Quarter dollar (1815-1828) 1833 Half dollar (1807-1836) Quarter Eagle (1808, 1821-1834 - varieties) Half Eagle (1829-1834 - varieties) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burks Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 I really like that 1833 you have there. I must agree that those are some of the best designed coins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bustchaser Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Great coins and a great idea for a type set. I really like the bust coins...as if you couldn't tell by my handle. I hadn't ever thought about calling this subset a type set but it is interesting. Here are a few of mine. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syzygy Posted June 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Absolutely terrific coins! That 1809 half cent is particularly beautiful. Do you have the large cent (the 1817 isn't Reich)? You thinking about getting some of the gold examples? thx for sharing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You thinking about getting some of the gold examples? thx for sharing Opps, caught that did you? Try this one. As for gold, even if I had the money I just don't like gold coins (or gold anything else for that matter) so I won't be adding any.
