The apocalypse is truly upon us--Doug Winter is selling silver coins

Longacre

I just got this email from Doug Winter. I know that he is the king of southern gold coins, but I never knew that he dabbled in silver. I was shocked when I got this email. I am assuming that someone hijacked Mr. Winter's email account, or that this is perhaps a bad dream. I've been reading up on early copper lately (the early copper field is amazing, I am finding out), and I see that Winter assisted with Breen's Half Cent Encyclopedia, as well as writing an introduction to QDB's half cent book. I am not prepared to accept these bizarro happenings, and I hope to wake up from this bad dream shortly. Here is the text of the email:


*******************
While Douglas Winter Numismatics is better known for selling gold coins than silver, that doesn’t mean that I don’t dabble, from time to time, in unusual, high quality silver issues. I am happy to announce that I recently obtained a very interesting group of Carson City silver coins.

Some of these coins have already been sold to collectors who had want lists on file with me (a good time to remind you that sending me a want list, no matter what you collect, is always a smart idea). But a number of others remain, including the following:

1875-CC Twenty Cent Piece, NGC MS65

1873-CC No Arrows Half Dollar, PCGS AU55
1872-CC Seated Dollar, PCGS EF40

The other coins I am offering from this collection range in price from $2,000 to $5,000 and include a number of pieces graded MS65 or MS66 by PCGS and NGC. All of these pieces have been off the market for a number of years and all are notable for excellent eye appeal.

All of these coins are imaged and described on my website and may be viewed by clicking here. If you have an interest in any of these, please do not hesitate to email at dwn@ont.com or to call me at 214-675-9897.

The 72-CC dollar was nice, but appears to be sold.

Ohh, yeah. I like that. Killer strike.

I usually buy my excessively rare Southern gold from Winter, but if his current silver inventory is any indication, I need to check his site more often than I do now.

That's some good dabbling.

I bagged the halves.

Don't ever underestimate Doug Winter's capabilities in series other than the Southern gold for which he is most often associated. He wrote an analysis of the United States half dime series which was included in the Sanford Durst 1984 reprint of the Valentine reference, which is, in my mind anyway, one of the more insightful, comprehensive and thoroughly researched monographs ever written on the series. It was not just another rehash of the same old material, but showed real insight into the series, and presented some original material. He is incredibly knowledgable in many areas of numismatics.

Back when Doug was still in high school he had a passion for Liberty Seated material. I suspect this came before he developed an interest in gold. We wrote a few letters back then on seated dimes and other topics. I've actually always considered him a "seated" guy who just happened to diversify into gold coinage.
