I loved seeing TDN's 1798/7 dime from the Eric P. Newman Collection, ex-Col. E.H.R. Green. I remember the auction several years ago. At the time I couldn't make a winning bid for the series I collected.

Recently I ponied-up for one, this square 2, large date, knob 2 1820 bust half. NGC61, now PCGS AU58 O.104 R4.

There were so many great coins. Do you have another one to share?
Lance.

    Wow. That’s a beauty. Eye appeal is so much better than its grade.

    I don’t have one from this collection but I recall the many beautiful coins that came out of that sale.

    Your 1820 O.104 is absolutely gorgeous, Lance!

    The strike, luster, surfaces, and even its subtle peripheral toning give it amazing eye appeal! Top that off with its scarcity in terms of die marriage, and you have a WOW coin, all around!

    Should definitely be in a 58+ holder!

    Very nice. I don't see how they could've called it MS-61. MS-63+ maybe or AU-59+, but not MS-61. Congrats on your eye!

    not my favorite IHC PR66BN, but only Col. Green/Newman coin that I own:

    Beautiful 1820 Lance.

    Nice coin OINK. I too have just one coin from the Newman sale, also a proof IHC. No photo though it would be in the HA archives-a 1886 type one RB in 67. I feel fortunate as I was underbidder on the same piece a few yeas before at the Rollins sale, and I was able to get it for less than I had previously bid.
