MrEureka

This one brought 29.9K at the Heritage Midyear ANA auction:





While we're on the subject, here are a few gems from the USPatterns.com archives:

Theres a striking resemblance between Martha and the Skipper from Gilligans Island.

The one and only coin that beat out the SBA with the ugly stick.

(I guess it really didn't matter that George had wooden teeth.)

Braddick,

You're forgetting about the Shriver Special Olympic. That coin give me nightmares.

mdwoods

And don't forget the Smiling Susie Proof.

I was unware that any of these clad patterns were in private hands. I also thought that the Treasury has given collectors problems over the privte ownership of very modern patterns. These certainly are worthy collectables. I just did not know that any of them were in private hands.

Boiler, I believe Skipper (Alan Hale) was the model for that piece.

mrdq, Bargains do come along sometimes, but (coming from me this next statement is laughable) you have to be patient.

You know that coins that ugly shouldn't be shown or talked about this early in the morning....actually never would be even better.
