Eagle Eye Rare Coins A Trip Down To Tucson

Just returned back to Scottsdale where me and my wife have been visiting with my brother and his family and going to be spending Thanksgiving... We were looking to take a ride to see the sites and decided a nice trip in the desert would be fun and so off we went and thought it would be cool to drop in on Rick Snow the owner of Eagle Eye Rare coins down in Tucson... Turns out his shop is in a new building in a great and busy location... We had a wonderful visit and Rick showed me and my wife around his shop... It is definitely worth a look if you are ever in that neck of the woods...
Earlier this year I had sold almost all of my Proof Indian Cent collection that I had built for over 10 years... Almost meaning I had kept only one and the TrueView of it is below... The photo department at PCGS has mastered capturing the elusive proof Indian Cents...
On the return Rick put us onto a back road back to the North that was a beautiful ride through the Sonoran Desert that was a great finish to the day.... AB

    That proof Indian Head Cent is spectacular, incredible, fascinating, and jaw dropping.

    Yup. 75 degrees is way better here than 110.

    That is a fantastic IHC.... Which route did you take back to Scottsdale? I just spent two weeks in Scottsdale... and lived in Phoenix for eight years. I love the desert....used to do a lot of hiking and exploring when I lived there. Cheers, RickO

    I remember when you bought that coin - beautiful. :+1:

    Must be cool in the desert - I see a hoodie on the chair...... :D

    I recall when Rick and Brian were in the Seattle area - very nondescript location w/o a clue that there was a coin shop behind the doors - appointment only - quite a change to the current setup!

    Does the "Butcher" album have the original celo wrapper? Opened/unopened/played? Very Nice...that's a tough one. Take care...

    Having the Butcher Block LP on display just vaulted you to the top of the heap Rick. How cool is that!

  • rickoricko Posts: 98,724 ✭✭✭✭✭

    @EagleEye I found all four items.....Neat shop...If I get to Tucson again, I will surely stop in... Cheers, RickO
