jbuck Moderator United States 189222 Posts	Posted 09/19/2016 3:18 pm For what it is worth, the Standing Liberty quarter thread has been done three times, while there are several that have only been done twice. The Carson City thread was done once, and that was four years ago. Seems like a fair idea.

jbuck Moderator United States 189222 Posts	Posted 09/19/2016 3:38 pm I just pulled all this stuff into a spreadsheet and did some sorting. Technically, the "never ending" Barber thread is the least recently done thread. With that said, Old Copper (The 65 Days of Half AND Large Cents) was last done before the most recent SLQ thread.

But seeing as Elbesaar has (virtually single-handedly!!) kept this thread alive, it probably should not the next "Days of..." thread, IMO. It still makes me happy every time I see an update to this thread, though! Part of my concern with a Carson City thread is the relative rarity of that mint's coins. It's just not as exciting since it would have limited CCF participation. However, I would be very willing to sponsor/design/post a Carson City thread if everyone would like it. An "Old Copper" thread would be the most timely thread. Let me know, "Days of..." thread lovers!! What does the crowd say? Report this Post to the Staff
NoPoMoCo Valued Member United States 403 Posts	Posted 09/19/2016 10:55 pm What about a 50+ days of state themed coins? Could add some territories too. This would bring in colonial coins, commemoratives, tokens, State Quarters, and perhaps some oddball issues! Report this Post to the Staff

Are State Quarters allowed in the US classic coins subforum? US Commemoratives have their own subforum, too. Report this Post to the Staff
dsfreeworld Pillar of the Community United States 4337 Posts	Posted 09/20/2016 08:10 am Carson City would be interesting and you'd probably get the most CCF participation around common date seated and morgan. What about a new spin on a type theme, Days of The Every-man's Pocket Change: First section only cents large to small second nickels thirdly dimes fourth quarters fifth halves sixth dollars You could do it by daily type meaning and for example, when you get to dimes its only 3 days long: Day One federal/capped bust Day Two Seated Day Three Barber This could wind up being an under 60 day thread and see lots and lots of participation. A bit out of the old left filed but maybe...no offense taken if seen as too crazy a spin. Report this Post to the Staff

Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 09/20/2016 11:04 am Ok, ok... Now I'm leaning towards a Carson City thread... (I do love me some CCs!!) Report this Post to the Staff

GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 09/20/2016 12:42 pm That is cool .... I might have a couple to post. It will be interesting to see how many pre 1878 CC's will be posted .... or how many gold coins. Report this Post to the Staff
pepactonius Pillar of the Community United States 9395 Posts	Posted 09/20/2016 12:51 pm One possibility to get around the low participation of a CC-only thread would be a CC + S thread ("Coins of the Old West"), running from 1854 through 1893, 1899, etc. (or any cut-off year well before 1955, to avoid picking up too many modern types). "Old copper" sounds good, too, but didn't we do Half Cents fairly recently? The old copper thread could include a couple days of pre-federal issues, too (before 1783, after 1783, for example).

GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 09/20/2016 1:28 pm I have a couple .. Maybe 1875 or 1876 .... dime or quarter ... no gold. I would like to see some of the more rare coins. Would there be years where no coins would be posted ... 1870? Edited by GR58 09/20/2016 1:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff
