Diecast Model Cars – A History

Posted in coin collecting on March 18, 2008 by trawiscott

There is quite a long history of craftsmen building detailed miniature replicas of transport vehicles and machinery, but it wasn t until 1934 that diecast model cars and lorries arrived on the market in any great numbers.
At that time the model cars and trucks weren t regarded as collectable items in their own right – they were produced to lend added realism to model railways.
Since the early 1920s Frank Hornby had been making increasingly complex train sets. One of the sets, Meccano Set No 21, was embellished with six diecast models, consisting of a motor truck, a sports coupe, a delivery van, a sports car, a farm tractor, and an Army tank. These were the first Dinky models, issued under the “Meccano Modelled Miniatures” label, as Set No. 22.
These early diecast cars were fairly crude by modern standards, being cast from an alloy with high lead content which didn t lend itself to a high degree of detail. Also they didn t attempt to depict genuine vehicles, although the sports car bore a resemblance to the S.S.1, a popular make of the period and a precursor of the Jaguar.
In terms of scale, they were not very well suited to the train sets which they were intended to adorn.
It soon became apparent, however, that there was a healthy market for such models, and it wasn t long before individual diecast replicas based on real cars and trucks were produced and sold separately. Dinky Set 30 was based on the Rolls Royce, Set 36A on the Armstrong Siddely, 36B a Bentley, and 36F was a Salmon sports car.
With the passage of time the quality of detail and reproduction greatly improved. The Dinky sets had diecast alloy bodies and tinplate radiators and rubber tyres. The later models also came with drivers and passengers. The Armstrong Siddely had a footman and chauffeur. Just before the Second World War some superb military models were produced, including tanks with catterpillar tracks and rotating turrets.
Few models from that era have survived in acceptable condition, and examples in good condition are extremely collectable – pre-war Dinkies can fetch prices up to $1000 in auction.
In the 1950s, new production techniques heralded a new era in the history of diecast model cars. Lesney, famous for their splendid Coronation Coach, and Corgi, (“the ones with the windows”), entered the market to provide competition to Dinky.
This new generation of diecast vehicles, with finer detail, better running gear, and better color finish, leads up to the present day, where millions of precision diecast replica models are produced, at quite affordable prices for the collector.

Coin Shops Are the Best Way to Get Good Quality Coins

Posted in coin collecting on March 7, 2008 by trawiscott

Coins are for the most part very fascinating items to collect. And for the interested coin collector, this is one of the best ways to understand the various conditions in history that resulted in the coins being minted. While there are many ways that you can buy coins for a coin collection the best way to get good quality coins in which to begin your coin collection is with coin shops.These coin shops will have lots of different coins that can be sold, displayed for personal or business reasons, and the coin chops will have people who are knowledgeable about coins. In some cases the person who is selling and buying various coins in the coin shops will also be coin collectors themselves. This means that you will find a person who shares your interest in coins.Sometimes when you go to coin shops you can ask these coin dealers if they will see what your coin collection is like. The coin appraisals that are carried out in coin shops are different from one coin shop to another. This situation arises because the coin grading is based on the knowledge that is known to the coin dealers. As you will find as many honest coin shops as you will dishonest coin shops, it is always best to look for a coin shop with a good reputation.When you go to the various coin shops that are in your area you should look at what type of coins they have in stock. As you may like to add more civil war or colonial time coins to your collection you can look for coin shops that sell these coins in addition to buying them. There will also be occasions when you will find coin shops that buy, sell and deal with coins of a certain metal. As there are some coins that are made from gold, silver and platinum you should see if these coin shops can locate dealers or con collectors who will be able to sell you these coins. Of course you will be able to find online coin shops as well. These coin shops are supposed to make life easier for the coin collector. While they are convenient for you to choose the coins that you want for your collection from the comfort of your own home, you will have no way at looking at the coins and seeing if you will want them in your collection. There are also times when you may fall victim to coin shops which have very little experience in selling coins. These types of coin shops are ones that you should avoid as you will be swindled out of our money. Paying top dollar for low value coins is not the way you want to go. So, as with anything in life, you should look carefully at the reputation of the coin shops which you re looking at to purchase coins, before making any final decision.

Do You Have Precious Rare Coins In Your Purse Or Change Jar?

Posted in coin collecting with tags , , , on March 1, 2008 by trawiscott

A Guide to Rare Coins in Circulation Today
It s usually a small thing that turns regular looking money into valuable rare coins. Last year s materials used instead of this year s, a tiny symbol left off a minting die. Collectors covet the unusual and uncommon above all else, and these minor oversights result in a very limited number of coins. This means that supply is much lower than demand, and even something that looks almost exactly like a common penny can actually be a precious rare coin. Even more interesting is that many of these rare coins were released into circulation before anyone realized that a mistake had been made. Because not many people know what distinguishes precious rare coins from run-of-the-mill legal tender, these coins can remain in circulation for decades, until a lucky coin collector recognizes them.
How would you feel if you knew that you had handed over a penny worth $2,000 or more as change for a dollar? This guide will help you recognize a few exceptional American rare coins that you just might have lying around your house, shoved in a change jar, or tucked away into a pocket.
Rare Coins with Mistakes in the Printing
One of the most common mistakes that turn normal coins into limited rare coins is a mistake in the printing. In the case of a nickel minted in 1964, the problem happened when a plate was cleaned too often, and a part of one letter was worn away, leaving the Jefferson nickel with the inscription E PLURIDUS UNUM. It took collectors quite some time to catch on to the misspelling of the word PLURIBUS, but now these limited nickels are highly sought after. A similar problem resulted in the 1970-S Atheist Cent, when the motto In God We Trust was covered with a blob of metal, causing it to read only In God.
Another common oversight is when the mint mark, the tiny letter on most American coins that indicates which mint created the coin, is missing or incorrect. Some rare coins with this mistake include the The 1982 no-P Roosevelt dime. The Philadelphia mint used no mint mark until 1980, when it started stamping coins with tiny P s. Yet somehow, a small number of dimes minted in 1982 were a throwback to the time before the mint mark, and bear no letter P. There were only a few coins with this error, and their scarce nature has made them valuable to collectors. A similar problem happened in Philadelphia a few years later, when the P on the die of some 1989 quarters was clogged with dirt, preventing the coins from being properly stamped.
Rare Coins with Double Printing
Minting problems don t only involve the writing on the coin. Sometimes a problem with the die causes a coin to be double stamped accidentally, resulting in a very unusual form of rare coins. Some precious coins with double stamping include doubled-die Lincoln cents from 1972, 1983, and 1984, and a doubled quarter minted in New York in 2001.
Rare Coins with the Wrong Metals
Other than printing problems, another reason why rare coins can be minted is when the wrong precious metals are used to make the coins. American coins have undergone several changes in material. For example, during World War II, pennies were made out of steel, because copper was needed for the war effort. Nevertheless, a very few pennies were minted in 1943 out of copper instead. These rare coins are worth upwards of $200,000 today, and they look exactly like any other penny.
As you can see, sharp-eyed coin collectors can really make a profit by keeping their eyes for rare coins in everyday transactions. Most people wouldn t look twice at a unique find like a 1943 copper penny or a dime that s missing a letter nearly too small to see. By knowing what coins are limited and rare, you could make an exceptional find just sorting through your household change.
