Here’s one of my new purchases I recently acquired. PCGS OGH XF45 Gold CAC
Only after Ms. Pickwickjr my 12 year old daughter approved. Her exact words after I texted her the pictures were “ I REALLY like that!
I want to thank John at CRO for the awesome coin.
This coin is beyond my expectations, it’s just amazing. It fits in perfectly with the others.
The icing on the cake was my wife got a CRO hat. So it was a win win for the both of us! 😂

Super look. ⭐️
I saw that on the EB. Congrats on snagging a great coin!
Outstanding!
That is one beautiful coin!
That's a beautiful coin and with a gold sticker to
Ooooooo!
Pickwickjr- Seriously one of the nicest coins I’ve ever seen. I just love the toning... Most of these old gold Bust coins have hairlines and crappy looks. I’m glad your daughter signed off on it because it really fits in well with the rest of your set. Congrats!
A really lovely coin congrats!

Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
Mine also came from John.
But ...mine... was accompanied by the (neener neener) old envelope it was stored in.
He charged me MORE than was on the envelope. The dirty dog.
Nice. BD-2, one of eight varieties for the year, all overdates.
Very nice coin. Color, luster everything about it. Congrats
Outstanding coin.
Beeeeautiful
Well done. She’s a looker.
Beauty!!!

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......
Holy cow! That is one fantastic gold coin! I dream to own a coin like that some day! Muy Bonito!!!
Any gold coin from CRO is special, I think John is even more picky on gold than he is on anything else. Both pieces above are simply spectacular!
Best, SH
awesome coin! congrats
That's why I love this place. Great coin, thanks for sharing it with us.
I would like to have one that looked like that.
That's superb!
Oh my ... ohhhhh

Very nice - enjoy!

I saw it too and thought about pulling the trigger, unfortunately gone when I tried. Good luck with it, she is a real beauty.
That's an awesome coin. I'm realizing you have to be fast scooping those up! That one went quick . Congrats!
When I tell you the number was on speed dial it was. Email opened , hit the send button. Plus it helps to have a few friends that we all look out for each other.
Thanks again
Wonderful coin! Is that the ex @RYK piece?
Latin American Collection
Yes, I bought it from John in 2011 and sold it back to him in 2016. It then went to another forum member for a while. It's a fantastic coin. I am glad others are enjoying it.
Yes
John did say it was an Ex RKY piece
Incredible coin! I was drooling over that one when I saw it. Hopefully one day it come come live in my collection!
Great coin, love it!
Lovely example indeed. Interesting that the mint made so many 1801 HE obverse dies, only to use none that year... break out the '2' punch and all is good.
Glad I could pass her along. Enjoy that beautiful piece. The Newp that prompted me to let her go is sure to please.....
I can only imagine, it must be a one of a kind piece. I love your picture of the coin you had done with the holder label in the background.
I haven’t stopped smiling. Thanks
After I met with John to pick up the coin I sent a quick video to some friends. After the video my friend asked for first shot at her if I sell her. I’ll put you on the list, but she’s staying in the set that I’m building.
I appreciate the comments everyone, thank you.
Outstanding coin Pickwickjr!
It couldnt be in a better collection with a better owner! So glad you had a quick trigger finger on this one!!! They do go fast! Congratulations and just so happy for you on this addition!
Hold her tight cause she’s a looker!
Beautiful one!
A really beautiful gold coin... Congratulations on your acquisition... I know you are enjoying it....Do you sleep with it under your pillow??
Cheers, RickO
Awesome coin!
