Just an amazing piece - you keep shocking us each time you post a newp, my mouth starts to water, and my heart does a lil twist of yearning and bet so many others do too here.

The thought that you bought this sight unseen made me chuckle!

I believe that, I'm curious did JA see it? Wondering why no bean - it looks beyond bean worth.

It’s beaned. At the Pogue sale, Stacks made the decision not to keep any beans on the coins. I’m not certain why - perhaps the overall percentage was too low

under light and in hand the coin is bright SP 68 full RD. Without light the coin looks about like in the fotos and more like RB.
That coin is one of the top five stories of my 25 years worth of trips going to Europe buying US Gold
- an incredible coin and congrats to the new owner,

One of them would be buying 3 AU 1870-CC $20Libs at the same time in Paris – even when they were only eight to $10,000 each, it was a thrill to hold three of them in my hand at the same time........

Didn't they also have PCGS redo all the special labels, since the first bunch was not as legible? I can also see leaving the beans off to get a cleaner look to the collection, and, as you say, uniformity with those that didn't bean.
I'm surprised nobody has complained about the two tiny spots below the D of UNITED.........

Private rare coin collector.- there is a very fresh collection of Large Cents coming up at Goldberg’s in February in case you are still having withdrawals from selling your 1794 half cent.

thanks for letting me know - probably nothing can compare to this half cent other than the SP 68 RD Wreath Cent.

I love hearing the history behind certain coin finds. You have a link or something with your other pieces?
The New Ultimate Custom Dansco US Type Set Album.
Holy crap!
Geez! I'm not worthy! I'm not worthy! Hell, I shouldn't even be looking at such coins!!! Thanks for letting me look, and drool, though!!!
Rocking my "shiny-object-syndrome"!!!
Look at all that mint red and luster flash. Very impressive. It amazes me the condition of these copper coins after all these years.
Absolutely amazing example!!!!!
Oh My!
What's not to love?

Now they are assigned
Eventually for sure

Some people don't think this is the coolest half-cent ever
Some do
I hope you'll keep the Missouri Cabinet provenance on the slab.
I have no doubt! I just hope you get to spend some time with it soon!

Magnificent!! Love looking at your coins.
Gorgeous!!!
Beautiful!!

One of the coins I wanted most from Oliver's set. Hopefully I'll get to see this in Vegas ?

I gave you your 68th like. That’s a lot of likes around here on any one pic...all things considered.
Totally amazing!
18th century U.S. copper coin with remaining red. What else do you need to say?
thanks for letting me know - probably nothing can compare to this half cent other than the SP 68 RD Wreath Cent.
What exceptional is in there, do you know ?
its more like a red coin with a bit of brown
We have been entertained. Thanks.
I'm not usually a big penny fan, but that's some mighty fine-looking copper there.
It’s a Half Cent.

One of my favorite coin in the whole Pogue collection. Congrats!
