I collect the Haxby series not only by variety, but by die-stages.
Concerning Haxby variety 301...
Obv 1 Rx 1 XF 40
Obv 2 Rx 1 VF 20
Obv 2 Rx 2 XF 45
Obv 2 Rx 4 VF 20
Obv 3 Rx 4 XF 40
Obv 4 Rx 4 VG 08.
plus a random dozen or so of lower grade.
ps. I do now have the computer expertise to post photos.
Heck, I wish my cell phone had a rotary dial.

Nice photos Fourmack. I do love to see examples of different die states, although I am only collecting by variety at present. How many thousands of 1859's would it take to have a complete set of varieties by die state? That is quite an undertaking Colonialtokens. I hope you will show us some photos of some of them. I think late states with die collapse are interesting.

Viper --very nice re punches and photo's. It is hard to get any 1859's down here as I only have 27 and half of them came from Canada via my son and a friend. Plus I dont like dealing of ebay (to risky). Doug, lets see some photo's Cheers Don

Well, there you go....I don't have one yet. Super photos again. Funny that Dr. Haxby calls this cent a vanilla.. No special notation of the RP in the 5 or the little bit in the 9. I would have expected at least the colour black for the 5 and the 9.. |

Fourmack I am curious as to why you say ebay is too risky. If you don't get what you want you can essentially always send it back. Even if a seller does not accept returns they almost always do for small items. The threat of negative feedback is too large. I have probably returned maybe 20 to 30 items off ebay (still only a small perccentage) and I have always got my money back...even from sellers who said they don't take returns. Out of perhaps a thousand purchases, I have really only had one or two really bad experiences. I love ebay as a buyer. As a seller.....not so enamoured but it really is the only game in town unless you are a true dealer. |

Quote:I am curious as to why you say ebay is too risky The cost of freight to NZ is sometimes more than the coin. plus I like to see what I would get as most of the photo's are not clear enough, and yes picky, picky, picky. Plus 9 times out of 10 I don't have the money to spare (pension).  And I hear you saying excuses,excuses,excuses.  I guess I am stuck in a routine  Cheers Don

Dr. Haxby's present site is not the finished product.
Numerous updates have been incorporated since the initial advent,
and I suspect more are pending. And at that how may new varieties
remain to be discovered. I have found a couple new varieties which
I suspect Dr. Haxby will include in future updates.

When Dr. Haxby gets the new varieties posted on the website, that should create a little excitement for the 1859 collectors! I am still amazed at how complete the 1859 catalog is and how few new discoveries have come along since it was published. A great testimony to Dr. Haxby's talent and diligence and 40 years of patient research.
