next Garrett

I read a lot here about who is the next Eliasberg.

Im wondering: Who will be the next Garrett ???

If I would be a Billionaire I would become the next Garrett, not only the next Eliasberg.

What would I buy ?

All the mind freezing 1792 patterns out there for sale and coming up at heritage. They are a once in a lifetime opportunity, last time they were buyable was in 1982 and before that in 1880. Listen to that !

The amazing pioneer collection out there that is for sale.

The making me loose my mind 1793 Cents out there for sale and coming up for auction. Never before were they together buyable like this.

The nova constellatio proof set of course. Last time they were buyable was in 1982 and before that in 1880. Listen to that !

The 1822 Half Eagle.

All of these are once in a lifetime. Whoever will buy these, is lockedin as the winner of the best collection ever, all the rest is buyable just with money and time.

    All great trophies, of course. But the greatest collectors, including Garrett, did far more than collect trophies. They collected numismatic history, from the common to the rarest of the rare, worldwide and through all eras.

    I think of a person such as Eric Newman when I think of great collectors. There are a host of others (like you Andy). :wink:

    This is a topic that has never entered my mind.... If I were to tackle a(nother) monstrous project, it would be for personal achievement, not to emulate or exceed someone else. Of course, most projects have been attempted by others - even achieved, but that would not be among my considerations. Cheers, RickO
