Just got my Stacks catalog - what a pattern collection!

Have been looking for the 1977 Stack's auction catalog from the Cincinnati Art collection for over a year. A friendly forum member suggested Karl Moulton. It arrived today.

WOW - sure wish I had been collecting patterns in 1977 instead of going to college. What a collection of small cent patterns! I bought a coin in 1998 that was lot 360 in 1977. It's that coin that piqued my interest in getting this catalog. The coin is a J213 with high leaf reverse, one of 3 known, sold for $370, now PCGS P65. The J361 in Al. that sold for $31K last summer brought $1050 in 1977.

Anyone know where I can get a time machine.imageimage

    For the rest of you, at the ANA last year Boiler and Kay were having a conversation re: a J361, trying to figure out how to find one so they could use it in trade or make some money off it. I was sitting there oblivious and finally asked, "What's a J361 anyway??". I owned the coin and didn't know it....so I've taken it upon myself to learn the Judd numbers. I've ignored them in years past in preference to the more recent (and accurate) Snow or Pollock numbers or a physical description of the coin.

    Now you know the REST of the story....image

    Here is the info you need on building a time machine.

    At the bottom is one that comes fully assembled.

    This Hyper-Dimensional Resonator hooks up to the head of the user and by setting the dial, it will allow it's user to spontaneously astral project. And once your able to astral project, you can travel in space and time either to the future or the past. This is no joke!! Plugs into a normal 110 volt outlet.

    All I ask is that you bring me back a 1909-S VDB cent for my type set.
