So where is the Mickley 1804 now?
That's awesome, thanks for posting.
Great thread! I really enjoyed reading that. And what a friend Mr. Mickley had in Mr. Young! You could really feel the appreciation he had holding that coin at long last.

Such an awesome story and write up. A testament to how much joy coins can bring to a collector, both young and old.

This coin went DOWN quite substantially in value between 2013 and 2018 and was flat for the five prior years. Present owner is in it at a relatively good number. But the coin ain't as "pristine" as billed anymore.
Amazing how Mr Young suspected that the 1804 likely came from some other collector’s cabinet.
This is a centuries-old story that repeats itself again and again. Ethical quandaries aside, it’s amazing how often it happens.
