My hats off to Andy Lustig, pattern expert extrodanaire!

Boiler 78 bid for me today in the ANR sale in Baltimore. I bought a J217a, hoping that few would notice it was the Eliasberg coin. The pedigree wasn't listed in the catalog or on the holder. Link to coin

Just for fun, I looked up the coin today at USPatterns.com. Not only is the coin and picture listed but the pedigree is there! It never ceases to amaze me the expertise, time and dedication some people exert. Thanks Andy - this website is a real treasure/resource. imageimage

PS - Anyone know how to spell extrodanaire correctly??

    Extraordinaire.

    Congrats on the purchase! image Are you going to have PCGS reholder it with the pedigree?

    Wow, great coin there, Lakesammman! Congrats!

    I agree that uspatterns.com is a fantastic site - absolutely one of the finest coin sites on the web.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    Tim: Saul Teichman updates the website, though I'm sure Andy's knowledge is on par.

    Gotta admit that I suspected Saul was involved - wasn't sure. Thanks for the info.

    Alot of folks, including Kay and Boiler knew the pedigree too - just very impressed with the dedication involved in keeping the web site up to date. image

    By the way, I usually laugh when the catalog lists spots as "for pedigree purposes". In this instance, they made the case. image
