Mentioned this on another post... I had these for sale at Parsippany coin show last week and there was NO INTEREST.... you could not give em away

"Could not give em away"? At what price? $105? $200? $300+? Price is important when declaring there is NO INTEREST in something!!!

Yeah. I'm pretty sure he could have given them away...

Wow, cool!

What if... 45+
I like that one a lot.

Saq $ Trio:

I do not like laser etched dies for proof production.
As this Saq appears flawless in flawed capsule I will keep it, but I will continue to avoid any laser etched proof coins

For me this sweet 24k $ is my one & done modern proof.
I passed on ordering up a Flowing Hair 24k due to laser dies

[...]Printed catalogs often have more info than just the online listings,

Heritage has the printed format of this catalog viewable online. Linked below, but it doesn't look like you can link directly to the intro with the story found on page 157. It seems to require flipping pages online until you get there.

The story is quite interesting with a lot more than the 35 Unc 1889-CC's found.

I think this would have been really cool as an unc instead of proof.

This would have gone crazy if they put Cheerios tail feathers on some.

why isn't that strike-through breaking the M in UNUM?

(a scratch would affect the m too)

I thought so too, but a closer look shows it overlapping/on top of the M.
