How About a Thread of Coins from the Gardner Auctions

Here are my two that broke my coin budget for the year -- I purchased them out of the first sale (with help from a trusted pair of eyes) and then had to agonize and sit on the sidelines in the second sale.

I certainly enjoyed looking through Mr. Gardner's coins -- it was very difficult to decide which coins to go after and which ones to pass on. If others have images of their purchases, please post.

Tremendous coins, breakdown. I wish I could own a Gardner coin that looked like these beauties. I bet you cuddle them at night

Ok - Here are my Gardner coins that broke my bank - In the first sale, I wanted and got the 1809 dime in MS-64 CAC. This coin was owned by Pittman and I really wanted to add this coin to my set. Subsequently winning this coin, Gene send to me the original capitol holder from the Pittman sale.
The other win was from the second sale in November. This 1821 JR-9. The coin is currently residing in a PCGS-64 holder. This coin was auctioned off in 1990 in the Lovejoy auction and it was lot 59. In that auction, the condition was a very choice proof or presentation piece. The coin matches the Lovejoy plate exactly. The obverse is proof or very proof like and the reverse is more like a mint state. Many believe that back in 1821 the mint made one sided proofs as a presentation piece. I am very thrilled with these acquisitions! I can't believe that CAC didn't sticker the 1821!

Quality that is in line with the rest of your coins which is to say really top shelf

Great coins.

Thanks for sharing your halves at ANA BD. One of the highlights of the show.

EC, I was hoping to get that 09 reasonable. Twice now .......

I had been waiting 13 YEARS to get this lovely 1853 w/a dime that I missed four WEEKS after 911!!!!!

I paid $22,912.50 including the juice. It sold for $14,950.00 inlcuding the juice back in October 2001 which was a bargain back then! I think I got this coin for a very reasonable price.

It is an awesome match to my 1859 dime, also PCGS/CAC MS-68 OGH!!!

Oreville - really great coin - congrats!

Good lord, if I knew you could buy coins like this from mowing lawns, I'd have done that long ago.

Some very nice coins in this thread but I know there are others out there. Nic, I am glad you got to see some of my halves at the ANA --that is some Seated Dollar you posted.

Oreville's coin deserves a photo from Todd or Lance. EC's as well.

Nic · December 27, 2014 4:25AM

Gardner in May has many nice coins. I think Heritage and Gene did a great job separating the coins by date in each series.
