Doing a little research on these and was wondering if anyone has one, certified or not, or knows where any are that I might get a scan from.

I am still trying to cherrypick McNeil's Merc Judd-1794

I had the chance to examine a J-115 during the auction lot viewing at last November's B&M auction at Baltimore. It was really something to hold a coin hand-engraved by Longacre, not to mention it was ex-Boyd, Judd, Kosoff and board member MrEureka (Andy Lustig), I believe. It was illustrated actual size in the color plates and enlarged (black and white) in the catalog.

Sold for $10,350.

The J-115 from the B&M auction Kranky mentioned.

Richbeat thanks for the link, but it says permission to enter denied. Guess you have to be a member. You might want to mention, so members don't waste their time.

You don't have to be a member to access the page. Here's the correct link: J115

The image isn't opening for me right now, but a J-116 is in the Goldberg auction.

Shylock,

Thanks for the lead.

Oops! I could've sworn the link worked when I linked it. Since my post is from March 10, I would suspect that activity on the website (update, etc.) has rendered my link useless.

Just tried my link and I'm getting the Yahoo! thing also, which is a little weird. Anywho, it was the same pic as the one shylock posted. Can't think of anything causing it other than what I mentioned above. I even emailed Andy to ask permission to link to his photos for purposes of illustrating what was being discussed (in case I was stepping on any toes or doing something I shouldn't be doing). He told me no problem. He posts here so maybe he has the answer.
