Three Awesome Coins from the HIGH DESERT Type Set on Display!
Visit the PCGS booth at the ANA in Baltimore for a very special treat. The owner of the High Desert Type Set, the number one Complete U.S. Type Coin Set (1792-1964) in the Registry, picked three of his favorite coins for display... and these coins are nothing short of spectacular. Stop by the booth to view the finest PCGS graded 1818 Bust Quarter (MS67), an 1859 Seated Half Dollar in Proof 67 (1 of 3 graded), and the only 1900 Barber Half Dollar graded PCGS Proof 68 Deep Cameo. To see these coins out of the bank vault is worth the trip to Baltimore!
I would love to see the entire set

My pursuit of coins for my Registry Sets has cooled down and at the ANA I am having more satisfaction in meeting all my favorite and even not so favorite dealers.
Talked in person and handled a box of tradedollarnuts fabulous MS trade dollars, and two minutes later was chatting with Sunnywood, and Cardinal, who has the spectacular early dollar Registry Set.
Tomorrow night is the MD woods Birthday bash and I will be meeting a couple dozen more numismatic people that are well known on these forums.
I picked up a couple of upgrades for my sets, and will be bidding on a couple more in the Bowers and Merena Auction. A lot of great coins are available now, and I expect even more will be showing up in the upcoming auctions.
Anaconda had a huuuuuuuuuge snake skin stretched out behind his table. I mean huuuuuuuuuuuge.
And Tomorrow I will see the 4 1913 nickels, plus the newly found 5th one is supposed to be there also. Wowee, wow, wow.
I had the privilege of viewing the Cardinal dollars before. Unfortunately they were in a glass case. It must have been really cool to see TDNs trade dollars, especially to have a slab or two in hand!
That Anaconda sounds like a good showman. I would like to see that snake skin. I recently found a dehydrated snake who unfortunately got caught up in a chicken wire fence I have. However that is a subject for the open forum
I hope to vicariously share in the MDWoods B-day bash by reading reports.
Next time, hopefully, it will be a city known for an easier to eat speciallty.
