Question: Does "The Cross Timbers Dollar Collection" Ring Any Bells With Anyone?

RichR

Hello all...and Happy Holidays!

I recently picked up an attractive slabbed Morgan 1898S PL dollar...and it's attributed to having been part of "The Cross Timbers Dollar Collection"...

I clicked around and I'm not seeing this collection (or hoard?) mentioned online anywhere.

Does it ring a bell with anyone?

Thanks for anything you might know.

Bob Simpson used to own Cross Timbers Oil Company. Perhaps that is the link?

You can always log onto the NGC registry site an try to PM the register owner of the registry an inquirer as to understanding the provenance.

I've always figured that if a Google search doesn't return a meaningful hit in the top four or five results, it's one of those "Since you are sending us your entire collection to (re)grade, for an extra $5 we'll put your name on it".
