Days of the 20th century mints... short, sweet, and everybody can post something. P, D, S, O. W if you want to include Moderns.

Not sure if its been done, but what about Franklins. Just about every collector I know has some franklins. Or were you looking for classics?

How about the 20 Days of Coins- but let's make things a riddle:

Day 1- In which year was the Lusitania sunk?
Day 2- In which year was the Indian Removal Act instituted, which resulted in The Trail of Tears?

And so On. I'll work on it later!!

How about the coin version of Uno? Lets say someone posts a picture of a 1878 Seated half dollar, then someone could post another Seated Half of any date or any other U.S. coin with the date of 1878 such as a Morgan dollar, Indian Head penny, or so on.

The only problem would be if you get your pictures taken and someone beats ya to it.

...or one of those dates with a few denominations were made, 1922 comes to mind; only cents, Dollars and St Gaudens.

Good idea, but as you hinted, the Franklin is a modern coin and its Days Of thread will need to be in the US Modern forum.

Like I said before, all GREAT suggestions! Not all can work for this type of thread though.

Nice idea! Unfortunately, a lot of the 20th Century coins are considered Modern US coins and don't fit into the Classic US coins thread section.



Quote:
Days of United States Classic Commemorative coins from 1892-1954.


Unfortunately, kind of the same thing as above except US Commemoratives have their own section.

I've found the threads that last longer allow more people to post and encourages more participation. Plus we can't do Moderns on this Forum Section.

I would love to do Franklin half dollars. Unfortunately, as JBuck said, Franklin half dollars are Modern US coins.

Aren't you already doing this thread?

Possibly... (But, We did just do Standing Liberty quarters and Walking Liberty half dollars...)



Quote:
Bust 1/2 cents and cents.


I like this idea...



Quote:

A VERY cool idea. Unfortunately, IMO, this scenario doesn't give people enough time to plan ahead, (get their Albums/Coins from the Safety Deposit Boxes, photograph and edit them) and then post them in a timely manner since the UNO idea changes so rapidly.



Quote:
...or one of those dates with a few denominations were made, 1922 comes to mind; only cents, Dollars and St Gaudens.


I don't have a problem with these coins included, in a larger thread, but this scenario REALLY narrows the participation of the CCF average members... (IMO, we want LOTS of pictures and LOTS of people posting in our "Days of ..." threads).




I've had lots of emails and there are LOTS of good suggestions! Thank you all for all the help!

An announcement of our next thread will be posted in the next couple days. Keep the ideas coming, if you got 'em!

Stay TUNED!

If you want it to be a "fun" thing then 20th century coins would allow essentially everybody to participate.
But if you want it to be a learning experience also then 19th and early 20th century coins would be better.

But whatever, I think narrowing it down a bit would help.

How about a mini-"Days of the 1878 Morgan dollar?" There are at least seven different flavors to choose from.
