    Very nice stuff overall. When did you put them away?

    Two different purchases, one in 1983 and one in 1985.

    Clark Gruber stands out as the winner in my mind's eye. I'd like to have a shot at it!

    Very Nice,

    I like the way you set up this link, how did you do that?

    Why have you decided to sell at this time?

    The 85cc dollar is worth conserving. It will be body bagged until the pvc is removed.

    ttt just because it's a great group of coins.

    I'd love a shot at the half dime and 23S SLQ. Let us know when and how you plan on selling. PMs accepted

    Very nice coins. Thank you for sharing. I also like the half dime, very nice.

    Looks like you got a really great group of stuff back then. You're lucky to have hooked up with a reputable seller. I can't wait to see how these all come back graded!

    Nice coins. The 80-S morgan looks MS-67ish to me..

    Louis: Those are some very nice high quality mint state coins! I especially like your 1898-S $20 Liberty Double Eagle image

    Please keep us informed how your coins do through grading, and let us know when they are available for sale. You may be able to list some on the BS&T Thread and avoid paying 15% auction comissions on some of them.

    Best of luck with them whatever you decide to do! Thanks for sharing them with us!

    Thanks to everyone for your comments. I will definitely post in the BST forum. Also thanks to all of the helpful members that have given me so much valuable advice. And I am selling some of the coins that I got from Amspacher for two reasons. Needed room in the safety deposit box and wanted to dress up my new sailboat to cater to the grandchildren.

    Sincerely,
    Louis

    "The 85cc dollar is worth conserving. It will be body bagged until the pvc is removed. "

    I was going to say the same thing about the 1889 three cent nickel. There is some green junk at the left rim. And it is a find coin too!

    Is that 5 cent reverse really the reverse of the 1938 Jefferson nickel? '38s have the wavy step design and I never saw one with steps as sharp and well defined as that reverse.

    Thanks for sharing. That is a very neat group of coins. I like several of them and would also like a shot at them so would encourage you to list them on the B/S/T with your asking prices when you get them back.

    I was going to ask about the half dime, and see others beat me to it. Let us know what you do with these.

    Update: Got a call from Bruce Amspacher about 2 hours ago. He wants to buy the two collection backs. Man was I surprised, but pleasantly so.


    Thanks again,
