Thank you all! When I obtained the Kaufman auction catalog it was fascinating to read that this incredible collection of rarities was displayed by attaching them to display boards with glue or tacks. I suppose nearly 100 years ago it was acceptable to glue or nail your coins to the wall- what a long way this hobby has come!

Marquette is 60 miles away from me. Kaufman is a well known name.
They had an incredible collection- this auction catalog is chock full of hundreds of gem rarities- I knew the name because I had one of their coins in the past but I never realized the depth and breadth of their collection- it was really big time!
It’s neat that they wanted to share them with the public- but since they didn’t have the internet they just built wall display safes and literally stuck them on the wall.

Throw a coin enough times, and suppose one day it lands on its edge.
Holy crap, those coins are so perfect they look like replicas!
Congratulations! Those are absolutely breathtaking!
Incredible beauty and rarity. Thank you for sharing.

Stretch the faces of the old, buy more proof gold. I like the way you think.
Those two are stunning!
