Favorite lot from Stack's Rich Uhrich Sale

IGWT

Lot 3591. Of course, I'd like Lots 3592 and 3593 to round it out. Sweet.

Any guesses on hammer prices?

RYK

It's gotta be this one.

I'd have to go with this one since it is shaped like a human ear.

Russ

Uh, RYK, Gizoogle? What is that?

Russ, NCNE

Russ

Okay, I get it now. Duh!

OK This wins for now.

He has a lot of gold up too. The good stuff is already too pricy for me.

IGWT

It's gotta be this one.

Now that's a nice choice of Massachizzles Silva!

71.4 grains. A splendid representative of tha tizzle n grade. Medium lilac-gray wit some deepa steel highlights, a rhymin' coin wit good weed-smokin' fo` tha most pizzle n superb surfaces wit strong lustre n nary a mizzy ta be found. Aint no L-I-M-I-to-tha-T. A bootylicious coin that will stand up ta tha mizzle critical close-up observations. We imagine this wizzle be locked away fo` some tizzy ta come in an chillin' Massachizzles silva collection or a high-grade tizzle set that includes early American issues.

All I know is that the one I've really had my eye on has been bid up once or twice almost every day, often by the same two competing bidders. Figures.

IGWT

That's it?

Hey, I'm not going to tip my hand yet. The two I'm looking at are getting enough competition already. Ask me again after it's over.

IGWT

Hey, Tim. There are many cool things in this auction that I won't be bidding on.

The Indian Head Cents in this auction are awesome. Check them out, there are lots of them. Just a few of the many...











There's about 90 more like these. Whoa!

I am still amazed at this collection. I am too lazy to post pics, but there are lots and lots of lots that I find appealing. If the catalog was not so big, I would schlep it to Baltimore have have Mr. Uhrich autograph it.

I will be happy to autograph your catalog at the sale, Longacre! (Free of charge, of course, as I am not a professional athlete trying to make ends meet by charging for autographs.) The same goes for anyone else who wants to bring a catalog to either the sale or the Baltimore show (table #1600).

Please note, not all of the lots in the sale are mine! For more info on my lots, click here.

Also, Mr. Uhrich was my Dad, so you can call me "Rich".

Well, I just got blown out on the one I was watching with the most interest. Wow. I don't know why I bother even trying for anything nice any more.

I put internet bids in on five lots. I've already been outbid on three of them. Although I have a strong bid in on lot 4, I expect to lose that lot as the series has interest these days. And lot five, if I lose that one, someone else is a sicker bastige than I am.

Goldbully

1815/2 O-101a. Rarity-3. MS-64 (NGC).

Both obverse and reverse are toned light brown and gunmetal-gray over silver surfaces. The striking is excellent on both sides. The reverse shows clash marks as often seen.



NGC Census: 7; 2 finer (MS-65 finest).

The 1815/2 half dollar is the most important single date (actually an overdate, but the only issue with an 1815 obverse) in the Capped Bust series from 1807 to 1836. Accordingly, it is essential for a date set. Of the pieces that exist, nearly all are in the VF range, perhaps some graded EF with today's interpretations. AU coins are rare, and those certified as Mint State are rarer yet.

RYK, the Gizoogle links had me almost out of my chair... I'm still laughing...

PS: Rich, I met you at the FUN show in Orlando, how's life been? I honestly didn't make the Uhrich connection.

Moon money was SO two years ago. It's Mars money now.

Barndog

one high bid of five remaining, dang!

Joflax

I was too busy to watch the auction of the coins on my watch list , It appears that none of them met their reserve .
The starting bids were High enough that I imagined that they were the reserve for tose coins.
I have never bid at Stacks before ....what does the starting price mean if anything ,or did those coins get sold privately?
What an awesome group of coins! The kind that you see on the pop reports and wonder who has them, and will they ever become available?
Also makes you wonder if the smart money is selling out of this market?

Just placed my bids for tomorrow. I can now say I'll be going 0/2.

IGWT

Looks like Lot 3591, the Lincoln medalet die & die trial combo, didn't sell. Does anyone know what the reserve was or where the bidding ended?

Barndog

I thought this one was pretty cool, but I am biased as a New Englander

Don't know if Rich Uhrich owned it or if it was one of the pieces from another consignor.

Aegis3

Now that the auction is over... (No, didn't win any; didn't bid on most)
Cool overstrike
Framed Jefferson
Counterstamped Cleveland
Extremely rare Assay medal
Artistic Assay medal
Historically significant & rare Mint medal

IGWT

Thanks for pointing those out, Ed.
