Who owned all the coins used in the finals? Where did they come from?

Whats the matter, no thoughts on this. Where did the coins come from? Who owned them? TBT, TDN, RUSS. HERITAGE????????

Geez... Maybe I should have flamed someone in the title.

Dunno. There was certainly some nice stuff, tho.

Edited to add: I recognized one of the coins right away. The 1878 trade dollar was from the David Silberman collection, sold raw by B&M a couple of decades ago. That set was the most amazing set ever completed - all were original tissue toned beauties. I used to own the 1874 [PF66 Cam] and Nic used to own the 1875 [PF67]. The 1878 blew them both away.... it was absolutely stunning!

They were my coins, but I have a miserable memory and still lost the contest.





Just kiddin'.

Seriously, I was told that they belonged to a private collector. Makes sense to have done that. They couldn't have used coins known to the participants. Wouldn't have been a fair contest.

I think the runner-up should have received their pick of one silver coin from the grading group!!!
