I love perusing the Coin Rarities Online site, even when pieces are on hold or sold. John has so many interesting things that it's always a treat.
Tonight this 1896 Marmaduke medal by Mayer & Wilhelm in Stuttgart, NGC MS63, stopped me in my tracks. Wonderful work.
It's already on hold.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
Definitely.
John has the eye for uber pq examples and works hard to find them. Plus like Mark said, he is a great dude. Here are a few examples purchased from CRO.

I would really like to get one of those Marmaduke medals for my daughter... she has a Great Dane... and loves those dogs...Looked online for others... did not see any... Emailed CRO...no response yet. Cheers, RickO
Doggone good !
Never heard of a "doggen" club. "Hunden" of "hundsiche" makes more sense to me. Is there a German speaker who can explain?
That's a nice piece. I have bought several coins from CRO and been happy with each purchase. They are one of the very few dealers who have inventory I actually want to buy.
Really? Looks like a real dog to me
A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.
A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.
Woof !

He definitely has some beautiful, cool, interesting and unique items.
It's fun to peruse his offerings.

There have been several coins I would like from him, but they always sell before I get the chance.
Exquisite detail.
When that happens, I use that as an indicator that I have good taste.

So many nice comments about John and CRO so I'll do the opposite and......nah, he is a great guy and always has great coins on his site

.... and is an alum of a great school.
Two great schools
Love the road reports.
I’m always pleased to see when a coin I have purchased makes its way to the Archives

That's nice!!
"1793" Washington & Independence Draped Bust - Silver - PCGS PR64+CAM pop 1/1
I'm a big fan of the Washington & Independence tokens so was pleased to run across this one in silver.
The PCGS pops show 37 silver with 33 proof-only and 4 DCAM. The DCAM specimens are: PF62 DCAM, PF64 DCAM, PF64+ DCAM and PF65 DCAM.
Just sold a coin of mine to CRO here at the ANA. Sad to see it go, but we both agreed on a very fair price.
Years ago I saw their site and bought a beautiful dollar. Since then, there have been at least a dozen coins that I would liked to have purchased - always on hold. I'm due for a little luck and a second purchase.
Will add that their shipping box was quite nice and is stout. Full of stacked 90%; weighs several pounds; box holds up well and is eminently stashable.
Their inventory is fascinating in several ways - gold CACs, rare holders, obscure early issues.
And on occasion all of the above in one coin

You know you're a coin addict when you block off your work calendar on select Tuesdays at Noon so you don't miss the CRO early bird email!
I seriously do this

Me too!!
I am right there with you.
Here's a Ferdinand & Isabella gold coin which looks quite beautiful. It has a "S" mintmark for the Seville Mint. It's cataloged as Fr-129.
You all can relax, today's isn't coming out until 12:30. So just chill....
Happy Holidays and New Year!
Here's the CRO holiday logo
The offerings are really beautiful. Peace Roy

I have bought a few Bust Half Dollars from CRO. They come up with some really pretty coins.
