I prefer the obverse over the reverse, but dang, it's a nice original 24-D. Well done.

So do I. The obverse is the party and the reverse is the morning after.

Re: sensitive subject? Coin collecting and estate planning

Plan A is to enjoy it for many more years and then sell on my terms, on my timeline, at a point where I think the market is reasonably strong.

Plan B is the document that sits in the SDB with detailed instructions on how to liquidate the collection and get good rates of return while doing so. There are several trusted dealers listed, and also instructions on how to negotiate a favorable liquidation via auction. There's a detailed inventory sheet and copies of 95% of the original purchase receipts to document my cost basis. I recently updated everything, so it's hopefully good for a while.

One snag...... when my wife sees what I paid, she might have a sudden MI and join me before she can even enjoy it.

Re: I was playing with my cancelled CC dies strikes

Interesting strikes... and nice to have, but I would not spend much money on one... Now, an actual cancelled die, that would be a neat item. Cheers, RickO

Not even if the silver round was struck with original (cancelled) Carson City Mint dies, on Carson City Mint press #1, inside the original Carson City Mint building ?

Re: sensitive subject? Coin collecting and estate planning

I would reach out to professionals because when my uncle passed away recently in NYC six months ago, it became my responsibility to do the needful since my aunt has Alzheimer's.
The amount of info can sometimes be very overwhelming and it was extremely beneficial in all aspects to retain the experience and expertise of an estate planning attorney along with a certified CPA knowledgeable in local tax laws because things can and do get slightly complicated if all the steps are not known or clear.
All the best.
