This thread is to celebrate the life and coins of D. Brent Pogue.
I never met Brent, but he sounds like a great person.
Here's some text from his obituary:

Brent fell in love with Southern California and established his home in Corona Del Mar. Brent loved athletic sports, cheering on his Texas Longhorns, working out, hiking, running marathons & triathlons and ocean swims. Throughout his life, he enjoyed and treasured traveling the world with his family and friends. Ultimately, Brent's true passion and greatest legacy will out live us all. As David Bowers, president of Stack's Bowers of New York City stated, "Starting out as a teenager and with the guidance of his father Mack, Brent with connoisseurship, knowledge and persistence, built the finest-ever collection of early American federal coinage of the early years. No other private or museum coin collection, past or present, has come even close to his achievement." Brent's love, humor, kindness and generosity will be dearly missed by all that loved and knew him.
From a collection perspective, it seems like he had at least 3 major collections:
- Early U.S. Federal coins
- U.S. Type Set
- U.S. Low Ball Type Set
Are are some of his coins to get us started! Post any Pogue coins here

@Zoins.... That 1916D is incredible... MS67+FB Along with the provenance, that will be an expensive acquisition. Cheers, RickO
Agree 100%! You just don't see them like that!
Amazing collection- I love my Pogue coins!
