Wow! Has anyone else gotten the ANR Oliver Jung Collection catalog?

airplanenut · June 28, 2004 4:20AM

There aren't a lot of lots (107), but WOW! Every coin has a nice write-up with a color photograph (no color plates) of both halves. The coins themselves, too, are stunning, and the catalog layout is incredibly pleasing to the eye.

More kudos to ANR!

Just got it a couple of hours ago. Havn't gone through it in detail, but just from flipping through it.....very impressive!

Louis · June 28, 2004 4:25AM

I haven't recieved the catalog yet, but I just got an e-mail about my credit line for the auction. I looked through the lots online and there is some interesting stuff.

PreTurb · June 28, 2004 5:01AM

REALLY nice stuff...

cardinal · June 28, 2004 5:39AM

Just received the catalog here. Another most impressive job by ANR!

Placid · June 28, 2004 5:47AM

Dumb question. What is the difference between a photograph and a plate?

ms70 · June 28, 2004 5:48AM

Just got it but didn't open it yet.

mrearlygold · June 28, 2004 6:00AM

Excellent collection and a job well done by ANR

Plates are merely a group of pages in the catalog, usually in the beginning of color photos of the highlight coins of the sale. The ANR catalog did all the coins in color through the entire catalog so no plates were needed.

Barry · June 28, 2004 6:54AM

Very impressive coins. Here's a young guy with way too much money for his own good

Wondo · June 28, 2004 6:57AM

I want the chain cent. Do you think I can lowball 'em.

coinbuf · June 28, 2004 7:00AM

Very impressive coin indeed, I received it in todays mail.

JadeRareCoin · June 28, 2004 7:12AM

Just flipped through the catalog. WOW! ANR did a bang-up job. Very classy presentation of a stunning collection.

Bustman · June 28, 2004 7:25AM

Love it!

kranky · June 28, 2004 7:56AM

Didn't get the catalog but I browsed the lots online. Heck of a collection! Interesting that there's not a single Morgan.

Of the ones I saw, the only coin I didn't like was the 1942-S Washington quarter.

coinguy1 · June 28, 2004 7:56AM

I was fortunate to have been able to view the sale a number of weeks ago while at a show. To my eyes, it is THE best collection (coin for coin and coin for the assigned grade) that I have ever seen. Other than that, I have nothing good to say about it.

FatMan · June 28, 2004 8:02AM

Just opened the envelope and in my hands as I write. Very nice indeed.

ss350camaro · June 28, 2004 8:07AM

How do i get a copy of this catalog ?

marcmoish · June 28, 2004 11:17AM

received today too indeed and quick glance confirms this weekend will NOT be drool-free. The collection is small and super.....truly must admit ANR team has it really put together once again. A masterful job, makes you want to go and bid on every lot in the book

RegistryCoin · June 28, 2004 11:18AM

gotta admit: One of the nicest color catalogues yet. Heritage has SOME competition now...
ps. Heritage, don't get P-Oed... just spurring you on to do your best...

Shamika · June 28, 2004 11:21AM

Oh to be rich!

kranky · June 28, 2004 11:27AM

<< <i> makes you want to go and bid on every lot in the book >>

That's how I felt - until I saw the opening bids.

Not that the coins don't merit them!

ER · June 28, 2004 11:33AM

Do you notice something missing from the collection?...................not a single Morgan dollar.

ColonialCoinUnion · June 28, 2004 11:36AM

Stunning catalog - best I've seen.

Plus I noticed that Oliver Jung credits Joe O'Connor in his intro as being his dealer of choice. Good for Mr. O'Connor - thats a nice ad for one's services.

lloydmincy · June 29, 2004 11:14AM

Kranky, interesting point about opening bids. I know of quite a few of these he is selling, and ALL have opening bids over what he paid for them with juice.

For example. Lot 7, the Sheldon cent, PCGS MS66RB, he bought for $103,500 in November 2001 Heritage Sig sale. Now opening bid for this coin $108,000. Jung is not going to sell a thing unless he makes money on it. Of course this is obvious business move, (I know), but so many coins are coming out to sell in this hot market in all auctions. I have been slowly selling a couple of mine, and what I have gotten as a sale price, is unbelievable in just two years holding them for some. How high will it go??? Interesting catalog to make note of on how this market is. He sells all of them, MARKET IS STILL HOT.

Watch Bowers and Merena Jim Clay sale (Baltimore July 8,9th)... Watch the "three big dogs": The unique 1870-s half dime, 1873-cc NA dime, and 1853-O NA Half Dollar. For example, the Half Dollar sold for $161,000 in Sept 2002, and now the reserve is AT LEAST $200,000 WITH JUICE!!!!!!! (I just bid it to where it is now (smile). Opened at $135K, but that was just an open). If it sells, not a bad return in LESS THAN TWO YEARS. Just interesting to make note of...Big dogs are SELLING. If he sells ANY OF THE THREE, making money...

coinlieutenant · June 29, 2004 11:30AM

I had the opportunity to talk with Mr. Jung about 18 months ago...

I called/emailed him to discuss purchasing the classic head 2.5$ and 5$ gold pieces that are now in the sale... He offered them at high prices... but in retrospect they would have been a bargain compared to what they will most likely bring in auction...

He is an interesting guy. Also, unless he sold some stuff privately, this is not all of his collection. He had at the time, multiple stella's, which, if I recall were one of his favorite designs...

Notice that there are none in the sale...

John

Edited to add... he also has many duplicates of coins... hard to believe... but true...

Coinosaurus · June 29, 2004 11:37AM

This catalog rocks. It reads a lot like the "100 greatest coins" book, lots of eye candy and engaging descriptions to boot.

MFH · June 29, 2004 11:39AM

Got my copy yesterday when I got home from work.

Amazing type set. Loved the 1925 MS 67FH SLQ !

airplanenut · June 29, 2004 12:26PM

I'll have to be sure to remind the guys from ANR that they rock when I see some of them at the Seminar this weekend

oreville · June 29, 2004 1:10PM

David Bowers will be shocked at what I am about to write here:

Seeing this catalogue on the internet was nice indeed.

However, when I received it in the mail, I looked at it and was stunned. Why?

For the first time in 40 years, I saw an auction catalogue in which I actually and seriously thought of my coin collection being sold in the same manner and in fact, being happy to see it in such a catalogue while not owning my coins anymore.

photog · June 30, 2004 2:12AM

"How do i get a copy of this catalog ?"

Give the office a call- we'd be happy to help you.
(For that matter, if anyone ever has any questions, give us a call.)

Bear · June 30, 2004 2:44AM

I am going to bid on a few coins , butwho knows how high, high will be.

LAWMAN · June 30, 2004 4:15AM

WOW WOW WOW. I read it last night. The photos, descriptions and other QDB copy was the best ever. ANR is really setting a standard for the entire numismatics field. What a magnificent achievement! If you don't have one, order one for your library.

I can't imagine how high the bidding is going to go on some of those coins. It might be a real test of whether or not the market is finally cooling down a bit, but, this one ought to get all the big dogs off the porch and into the race for sure.

Elcontador · June 30, 2004 4:25AM

The catalogue is a keeper! But they made a few mistakes. They included several lots that I can actually afford!

I think the only way I can get anything out of the collection is to visit the place in Portugal where the three shepherds saw Nossa Senhora de Fátima and then on to Santiago de Compostela to complete the pilgrimage!

I had a mild panic attack when I read here, that there were some hefty "minimum bids".

However, for the lots I bid on, at least, in almost every case, the required minimums were well below what I was willing to bid.

Got it Monday, nice

coinmickey · June 30, 2004 6:52AM

Yeah, I got it on Monday. Incredible coins....but completely out of my leaugue...

The catalog they did for the sale they held in Chicago a week earlier was also very well done, some of the best I've seen. Good work!

LAWMAN · June 30, 2004 7:02AM

Joe, Mr. Yung had some very, very nice things to say about you in the introduction to the catalog. I believe he called you his "mentor" (I'm doing this from memory). Congrats to you and your good taste too!

marcmoish · June 30, 2004 7:38AM

hmm conner is a lurker here

, I bet every dealer that has any brains lurks

evidently you done well for him Joe!

marc

lloydmincy · July 1, 2004 11:54AM

Just opened the bid for lot 60. A half dollar that will sell for more than my open, for sure. I wish not.

rays · July 4, 2004 8:28AM

I want lot 6, the S4 chain. How much do you think it will take to get it?

MrEureka · July 4, 2004 9:01AM

I bet every dealer that has any brains lurks

Not true!

Edited to say: ...well, maybe.

Wow! Has anyone else gotten the ANR Oliver Jung Collection catalog?
