Bruce's amazing coins

Zoins

This is a thread to celebrate all of Bruce's amazing coins. He's had so many of them over the years and I've enjoyed them in many different threads.

Thanks for sharing your coins and thoughts. You've made the boards a wonderful place to be

Post any of Bruce's coins here

Here are a few that I've enjoyed.

It's amazing that this coin is still registered with an old cert number and TrueView. It doesn't hurt that it's still a 1/0.

No doubt they are amazing coins....Thanks for the TruViews, might make a copy for a wall poster.... Cheers, RickO

We must include two of Bruce's hallmark coins. He sold this pair of Eliasberg Trade Dollars a few years back. He always spoke fondly of these coins. I think his registry set is the only time they have been paired together in the registry.

Now is the time for you to have someone to make a Digital Album akin to the one used by PCGS in their Registry Sets. I would gladly buy a copy that would contain some of the most unobtainable coins(for most of us) in numismatic history. Please do so.

Definitely. I would love to see a digital and print album of all of Bruce's coins over time. He has an amazing and discerning eye for beautiful and important coins.

Come on Bruce. Give us this chance to view all of your past and current coins. I will wear a bib so as not to drool on the Album.

"has been" and "have been" are present perfect, not past tense, which would be "I was privileged".

Present perfect progressive tense describes an action that began in the past, continues in the present, and may continue into the future.

So am I. I was just pointing out that the way he phrased it did not indicate (by default) that he was done collecting.

Great to see that one! TDN had an entire collection of chopmarked Trades. Would be great to see more of them!

Here's TDN's Trade Dollar set:

https://www.pcgs.com/SetRegistry/alltimeset/87428

This set is insane:

• POP 1/0: 14 coins
• POP 1/1: 2 coins
• POP 2/1: 1 coin

Looks like all the coins are CAC too!

Love the die cracks on this one!

1northcoin

Complying with the OP's request, here is one that I understand Bruce owned, at least briefly, and would be included as one of the "2 1913 Liberty Head Nickels" on his above posted list.

My photo of it was taken at the Portland Money Show back when it was still in the NGC holder as a PF 64 and identified as "The Hawaii Five-O Coin."

Otherwise known as the Olsen specimen it was notable at the time it was the subject of a Hawaii Five-O show as the U.S. coin which had sold for the largest sum. Ironically Bruce was able to make his own history by giving that distinction to another coin in more recent years that still holds the record.

And here is a link to a prior thread with more details about the show and the coin's auction history after I photographed it.

An excerpt from one my posts on the thread:

"In the 1973 episode of Hawaii Five-0 titled, "The $100,000 Dollar Nickel" (which was based on the theft of the Olsen Specimen of the 1913 Liberty Head Nickel that had just set the record for the price paid for a single coin the year prior in 1972), there was an interesting parallel to the real life theft subject of this thread. In both cases the coin(s) were stolen at a coin show by a thief who used a distraction. In the fictional TV episode the con artist's attractive wife provides the distraction as character Arnie Price examines a dealer's coins at the coin show being held in Waikiki's Ilikai Hotel.

For any not familiar with the celebrity history of this coin, as above noted it was the first coin to sell for $100,000. In 2010 it was sold to an undisclosed party for the sum of $3,737,500."

Great coin! If Bruce ever gets the chance to own the Walton 1913 Liberty nickel, I think he should go for it. Then he would have owned all 3 of the publicly available specimens.

It's PCGS PR63 which you might consider it mediocre given the company, but it's still nice to get them all. It sold for $3.1M in 2013.

I remember watching that episode, and while the 100 grand seemed like an incredible amount for a nickel, I was shocked even then, of the nickel being ran through-if I recollect right-a pay phone. I guess I must qualify as being old!

In my collecting career, I have been privileged to own at one time or another:

Gem chain cent & specimen ameri
2 1913 liberty head nickels
Gem 1894-s dime
Gem 1876-cc twenty cent piece
Several 1796 quarters
1827 original, restrike and copper pattern quarters
Gem 1796 half
Norweb 1838-O half
3 different 1794 dollars - two on the condition census
A restrike and an original 1804 dollar
The finest Gobrecht dollar
The gem 1851&52 dollars
2 1870-s dollars
4 1884 and 3 1885 trade dollars

It’s truly been a fun ride

The ANS is accepting donations!

I remember someone getting a very large tax deduction to donate a substantial collection.

What are the tax benefits to donating coins?

It's a 100% tax deduction based on an appraisal from a third party. Not too bad!

Deduction as in receiving a full deduction from income vs. a credit as a reduction in the calculated tax expense. So in effect, 20-30% of the value of the collection unless you are the President in which case it doesn't help to adjust the tax liability below zero.

I tried to hit the "Agree," "Like," and "LOL" buttons for this, but it wouldn't allow me.
