It appears then that this seller is selling much of a collectoin that he just finished buying. I wonder how he will do since he says he bought much of this from Blanchard?
"This coin is part of a substantial collection of Charlotte and Dahlonega Mint coins that are being sold over the next 90 days. Several of these are "Finest Known" coins. These rare examples range from a $5 Liberty 1843 C BASS NGC XF-45, to a $5 Liberty 1852 C PCGS MS-64, (also $1 and $2 1/2 denominations in this range). All of which were purchased from the reputable Blanchard & Co. of New Orleans. "
And, I would think that someone selling $50,000 worth of rare date gold coins could come up with some better pictures.
that some gold collectors seem to enjoy owning these gold coins for a few days
and them dumping them for some odd reason.
D, C and O might be tough coins but boy! they are always and i mean always up
for sale for the most part. There must only be a tiny handful of dates that are
really rare and in controlling hands! The rest seem to be widgets??!?

Widgets that only a certain income bracket can afford. Not mine.

I take no offense. To each his own.
Last summer, I looked at my 26 coin Dahlonega $5 set (closer to 32 coins, with duplicates) and realized that I only really, really enjoyed about a half dozen of them. I sold the rest. It was fun putting the set together, and unless you are going to settle for pigs, more challenging than you might think.
Lately, I look at my coins (of all types) and do not get much of a thrill, not enough to justify the capital in them. It might be time to purge again.

I think this is a Registry phenomenon - this short hold period mentality is increasingly common across all coins and series.
