Big Mo Collection

earlyAurum

This is really an impression collection. All the coins seem really high quality and many seem to the best or most desirable of specific years and types. The 1861-D and 1861-C $5 come to mind. I am surprised that there aren't any discussions on the upcoming auction.
I was personally interested in buying in the first auction but was blown out on the San Francisco quarter eagles 61-S and 62-S .
Maybe folks are interested buying don't to draw too much attention...

Impressive set. Some amazing pieces. None are within my comfort level.
I have wanted an 1861-O $20 for years. I really like the one in this set with its nice toning.
I am sure it will find a nice home. Wish it was going to be mine.

Amazing coins for sure. The missing 1864-S $5’s and 10’s are noteable. Those dates are so tough.

Yes agree
The entire years mintage of 3,888
1864 S half eagles was delivered to the SFBM Paying Clerk on July 11th

The entire years mintage of 2,500 1864 S eagles was delivered on
July 1st

They must have both seen heavy circulation

For some reason I really like the name Big Mo

Anyone have a photo of him?

great collection, incredibly tough series. Look forward to the results.

The result were very impressive. The 1864 and 1865-S quarter eagles set records at ~111k and ~50k respectively! Very nice indeed.

I wonder if the collector served on the Big Mo!

The name is a great honor to those that served.

Do you have a link to the auction?

Also, no one pointed out that Shemp Howard (pictured above) was Moe's older brother.

None from the Big Mo collection. Just fun to follow.

The four winningest Bidders in Big Mo:

8063 7 $526,000
Floor 4 $410,000
8026 9 $226,500

Anyone care to identify the BIG Winners???? I can't make tab work for some reason. Bidder is 4 numbers followed by # coins.

As a reminder, I don't have one unfortunately. Cool date if you can find a nice one and the price has just gone up.
