    I'm still recovering from the viewing. Does the fact that I got "excited" mean I'm a perv? DAMN!

    I am BTFW by that spectacular collection.

    As an aside, I would have ignored the objections of a certain few and posted the link myself,

    Geezus! That's an uncompromised set to be admired.
  • K6AZK6AZ Posts: 9,295 ✭
    What a set, simply amazing. Looks like most sold pretty quickly too.

    Th Jack Lee 1940 walker is probably the finest walker I have ever seen in my entire life.

    The walker I now own in the same grade is nicer in the reverse in many ways than the Jack Lee but pales in comparison to the awesome eye appeal of his coin. My heart leaps when I can look at these two reverses side by side. The best in walkers!!!

    The Jack Lee 1940 obverse and reverse are on the top (don't worry; it was sold image ) Mine (reverse only) is on the bottom:

    The 1921-S is stunning !! With gorgeous surfaces and a bit of mottled russett toning.

    I just spent the last hour looking through this collection... and I'm not even into the 40's yet.

    Thanks a million for the link, and thanks to Al Gore for inventing "the internet". image
    You shout in your sleep.
    Perhaps the price is just too steep.
    Is your conscience at rest if once put to the test?
    You awake with a start to just the beating of your heart.
    Just one man beneath the sky,
    Just two ears, just two eyes.

    it's a good thing the 42-D and 47 are sold already, i would have had to go and put my house up for sale.....
  • BarryBarry Posts: 10,100 ✭✭✭
    Amazing pics, too! Mark, how does the photographer eliminate all traces of the slab?

    Nice pick-ups, Puff. I was hoping that you would be in on the action.

    Barry, your question presumes that the coins are still in their holders......

    and you happen to be correct!image

    I don't have the answer to that question but please feel free to call or email (scott@pinnacle-rarities.com) Scott at our Wa. office - I have no doubt that he will be pleased to reveal the secret.image
  • K6AZK6AZ Posts: 9,295 ✭
    Barry, it is quite simply done with a circular mask and then a copy and paste onto a blank canvass.
  • XpipedreamRXpipedreamR Posts: 8,059 ✭✭
    Thanks!

    That was sickening, but in a good way.

    coinguy: Hmmm......what is happening to our sense of provenance, our history?

    So the Jack Lee holders are no longer the Jack Lee holders?

    Sad to me. I hope the seller at least included Jack Lee along with his name on the Lee coins???

    Truly stunning coins.

    I'm sure it was extremely difficult to drum up any interest in them. image

    Thanks zenny, and no there was no real estate envolved.image

    oreville.... I agree with you about Jack Lee not being on the holders, and what from what I understand this was a decision made by the powers to be at PCGS, if I understood the explanation from Pinnacle correctly... But I could have misunderstood this, and maybe it was someone elses decision..... Mark Feld could probably explain this better if he happens to see this post.
