SHD posted a few photos last week in the BST of a few of his favorite gold coins that are being sold tomorrow...I hope to land one or more...he definitely chose the right person to sell them...

When I saw the title, it concerned me as usually these are used to announce problems or death. I'm glad he appears to be doing well, and I wish him the best with his sales.

Nice coins... I wish him good fortune in the sale. Cheers, RickO

Great coins!!

Desert Moon · April 11, 2019 6:11PM

Thanks folks and I am alive and kicking. All are already sold to Doug. We have worked together since 2004 to build up what I had and he was completely confident in the coins and had no problem buying straight out.

As painful as it was to part with many of them, dream coins for me at least that I will never own again anything like them, I am excited to see how quickly everything goes on hold tomorrow and on. It is cool that these wonderful coins are going to be put in new hands to enjoy.

Thanks Mark for starting this thread.

Best, SH

Same here and glad to see spacehayduke is doing well.

Gotta watch out with these titles as we are all heading into the needing 2 suits for funerals and 0 for weddings territory.

Sure didn't want to have to pull a KellenCoin contacting his widow for the 3 HTT's he has I sorta like

Very nice coins! The 39-D is very appealing. Good luck on the sale.

Sorry to see you sell your treasures, but happy to see the enthusiasm for the hobby remains. Even with no financial stake in them anymore.
I hope you stick around the forums to add to the discussions. And congrats on coming out the other side with a profit.
(We all should be so lucky!)

topstuf · April 12, 2019 11:46AM

I just got back from a haircut. All but 2 were sold on the email list.

About half of the set did not make it to the online offering, Doug must have had buyers lined up for those. Mostly gone already, win win for everyone, Doug, me, and the collectors that will enjoy them.

I plan to keep working on my bust quarters and my XF45 and AU58 (mostly) barber quarter set, and when I can find them, pq seated quarters mainly from the O-mint. So still in the game, just had to reduce abit and put the proceeds into retirement investments.

Best, SH

Here are some of those sets and I will be keeping for many years to come:

Very pleased for the quick sale...hope that Puts a smile on your face, as it shows people appreciated your effort and tastes.

Agree that it was a win, win,,,, except for those of us that worked all day and cAme home to find just about everything sold...

Considering the $10 Indian , as I need one, but was hoping a c or d would be left when I looked.

Congrats
