Some very nice type coins and a proof Morgan set.

...and a MS68 trade dollar...you going after that one?

I viewed the sale earlier today.

and a MS68 trade dollar...you going after that one?

No. I've already passed on it twice - why not make it three times a charm?

coinlieutenant · December 17, 2004 9:50AM

I saw it was a date that you needed to make 16 pop ones.... didnt know if you had seen it or not.

Pretty tough for fresh stuff to come out of the woodwork with you isnt it?

Do you have a link for the sale

Yep. Maybe that's why I don't think the default policy to closed Registry sets is that big of a deal.

Now that was funny.

It's probably hard for TDN to find something he likes/needs so he's probably saved a lot of money by now

Finally a 93CC Morgan I like. Unfortunately a tad more than I wanted to spend as it's a Branch Mint Proof..oh well!!

Here, I'll help B&M out. They state in the lot description that they're not certain of the provenance... despite their horrible photography I'm 99% certain that's the Vermeule specimen.

Wow the Lull type set knocked me out of my chair. Too many wonderful coins to mention, but and its not my favorite, the 1916 SLQ is a boomer.

morgannut2 · December 17, 2004 11:13AM

Ok, I must admit my ignorance. What is the "Vermeule Specimen" of the 93CC Proof? An interesting history to the coin??

tradedollarnut · December 17, 2004 12:04PM

Cornelius Vermeule III. He had a wonderful collection sold by Stacks a few years ago. The MS67 1893-S was in the sale, as was my gem 1873-CC trade dollar. The proofs in his collection were spectacularly tissue toned.

morgannut2 · December 17, 2004 12:19PM

I remember loving the Legend 1873CC, so surprise-surprise I went for the 93CC's look. I suspect a record price is in the near future!

I don't make enough money to make myself coin-happy

There are some neat coins in this sale but I also see a number of retreads that were recently auctioned off unsuccessfully. I see several pieces that are pretty impressive based on the scans (1853 dime MS69*, 1838 25c MS68, 1853 arr 25c MS67, 1833 50c MS68. The 1838 25c MS68 is one of the nicest seated quarters around. And last I knew it sold for well over $200,000 in the 1988-90 market. An incredible no drapery quarter that is basically white and pristine.

Sheesh! All that nice type and the guy couldn't find one seated dollar for me?

oreville · December 18, 2004 6:26AM

LOL.

That is the kind of type set I respect!

Sad to see it getting broken up. Hope the owner is not selling it to any misfortune.

I suspect bidding will be strong on these coins.
