There will be a "watershed" event wth the Morse Saint Collection...

saintguru

Heritage Auction in November:

This is apparantly the finest set ever assembled, with many coins unseen for years! Many are HIGHEST GRADED, and there are about 600 in the complete collection...including:

Ultra High Relief PCGS PR69!
1927-D MS67
1920-S MS66
1921 MS 66

Many, many more...I think this will be a major event in determining the state of the high end market and it should be remarkable.

The details are still sketchy but if anyone actually wondered where many of the POP 1 or 2 coins were, I think they have arrived!


Very Coool!!

I simply must correct, since it's the second time I've seen the mistake:

The Ultra High Relief would have to be PR69, not MS69

saintguru

as they all were Proofs., that is correct...call it a mistake of habit.

I'm a WANNABE guru...do I need to go to India?

$40,000,000 ain't squat.This man is a major owner of the Boston Red Sox.Perhaps Curt Shilling and David Ortiz will start collecting Saints.It doesn't matter what he paid.The pressure is on Heritage to produce and please this man.

The majority owner of the RED SOX is John Henry. He is a hedge fund manager out of Florida. He's worth about Five Billion big ones....BUT his funds have done horrible the last few years, and I hear he has taken a back seat in terms of running the funds day to day. I guess he's been collecting Ultra High Reliefs and 27-D's, World Series rings in his semi-retirement, not a bad life!

I wish these guys would go away and collect baseball cards! Jay, I can't even fathom how nice the catalogs will be. Will faint opening them. Unbelievable. I guess a businessman is always a businessman and they think it is a good time to sell, but with that kind of money, WHY SELL???

Jay, you need your stock to go up NOW!!!

jpkinla

Should be very interesting to say the least.....

This "nut case" is out of his league on the flagship coins in THIS collection! Perhaps a nik-nak or two, but this one is for the gazillionairres that Laura is hugging.

November? Serious? Where? Any announcements for sure?

saintguru

Dallas...I think it's just these...Not sure...

Needless to say I am as excited as a kid in a candy store to see the set(s) as they are offered for sale. I agree with Laura (as usual) that the true test of the market will be the sale of these GEMS. The curent owners of registered sets are Doctors, Lawyers and Entrepeneurs with reasonably deep pockets and a willingness to participate in the Saint Gaudens series. HMMM, should I sell the Park Avenue Collection now or later or just hope I can add some of these monsters as upgrades.

jpkinla

I don't know about you but I look forward to challenging the gazillionaires......This should be fun......

I am getting all my kid's piggy banks together and rolling my loose coins!

Great scoop JB is there a link to the Heritage ad?

It was in Coin World...April 25 or 28th...I'm sure there will be more forthcoming, but from what I've seen it is beyond anything ever seen! Once you get past the huge number of commons.

I hope that Heritage has an auction of the "SUPREME" coins first...It would seem foolish to auction 100 1924's and then, hey, here's a 1924-D MS66...you think the momentum would suffer??

jpkinla

What makes you so sure they are going to AUCTION a 100 1924's? I don't think so.....The sale will consist of high end Saints and some $10 Indians I would think.....

I have heard that there are 650 coins in the collection. Now common sense would sat to do all the premier coins by themselves, which I am sure they will do...but there is a lot of chaffe.
