The five auctions I most look forward to attending...

MrEureka

Not that you wish anyone dead or destitute, but name the sales you look forward to attending. No institutional collections, please.

1960NYGiants

How about institutional auctions? Would attending on-line count?


The CNA Auction (This one I attend live)
The 2 (or is it 4) Heritage World Coins Auctions (attend on-line)

The Willamette and Melron collections of Gem Canadian Large cent (Bosox will outbid me, though)

Aethelred

Man you know your foreign auctions!

MrEureka

I'm looking for the names of the collectors, not the names of the auction companies!

Past tense allowed?
Spink, 1979, #5, the D. Loulakakis collection.

If I knew any upcoming one of this caliber, I wouldn't be writing here about it.

Well, all of Mr. Fun's collections would be a highlight.

Since you put down 5 on the US forum, what would be your 5 foreign coin auctions that you would like to see?

3Mark

Doogy

here are a couple, in no particular order:

The "here! take these MS66 GB Crowns off my hands, and pay me just a few bucks" by Heritage
and......

The "grandads' slew of Swiss shooting Thaler and all things Prussian" collection by UBS

It would have behooved me to have paid more attention to the Jeremy Remick auction.

It's funny, with the Lightside thread I know the players well enough that I know who wants to remain anonymous and who doesn't care. On the Darkside, I'm not as well connected and I have to be more careful. That said, my choices are:

1. Clyde Hubbard, who should have some pretty decent Mexican.
2. I.R., who has some great West Indies countermarked coinage, and more.
3. R.S., who probably has the best general collection of Central American coins, but at least the best collection of Central American Republic.
4. L.E. Bruun, who died in 1922 with the best collection of Danish coins. His will stipulated that (except for his duplicates) the coins not be sold until 100 years after his death.
5. ?????

Edited to say that I would fly anywhere in the world to look at any of these collections, I'd buy the owner dinner at the restaurant of his choice, and I'd kick in $1000 to the charity of his choice. And that's just my starting bid!

This is worthy of some thought

I'm waiting for the Gulbenkian ancients to come to auction after the family decides the collection is a waste of cabinet space in their Lisbon museum.

Oh well then in that case, how about the Andy Lustig collection of CAR gold!

MrEureka

Why is that funny?

Andy - my apologies, I did not mean to offend.

MrEureka

Accepted. Now all I have to do is find the 75% of the coins I'm still missing so I can live up to my expectations.

I can think of three, maybe four greyside auctions at which I will attend with bells on. I would name them, but they would get mad and spite me by willing them to their heirs.
