In case it get's lost in the "back pages" and you want to visit, my show report for the ANA 2022 and a very brief primer on Die States (a dozen posts in) can be found here
Here’s another one of my NEWP’s from the show, for your viewing pleasure. As much as I like some flash and color, finding something with this type of original skin, color and texture is such a treat. I told someone after the auction that if I could find them all like this, I know I would go broke.
This coin was also from Sheridan Downey’s MB#54 auction. From the collection of Tim Osborne, Sheridan described this 1827 O-138 in a PCGS 55 CAC holder as such;
"A majestic coin, original through and through. The crust of antique grey toning is infused with iridescent gold, russet and copper. The R.4 rarity is well deserved and a nifty bonus. Unless you are chasing choice to gem uncirculated bust halves there will be no need to seek a finer example of this 1827-138. From Brian Greer, January 1999."
Yep, that’s a good, simple description ... from the Master.
Love her!

All I can say is that if I wasn't making a conscious effort to wean myself off 27's you wouldn't own that coin today...or at the very least the hole in your wallet would be even deeper. I LOVE that coin in-hand.
Very nice!!!

Nice looking one!
But their beauty and their style went kinda smooth after a while
Take me to them dirty ladies every time. I like that one.
It’s all about the story……
A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.
A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.
I agree Mr. K ... and I have some good ones from this show for sure! Even about you!!

They have more FUN!
Nice pickup 🥰 any special wine followed the acquisition?
We did. I can't remember the vintner, but it was a French house, a Pinot Noir that our good friend Charlie H. selected, and it was superb
