4 PM Thursday afternoon and I'm amazed at all the gem RED copper staring at me.
The 1796 half cent and 1807/6 cent were incredible. I liked that he stuck the gem 1807 Eliasberg MS67 in the case as well.
Well done.
Back to the show............sold most of what I wanted to already....to the first 1 or 2 people I saw.

<< <i>That is the thing I regret most about not being able to attend the show in Baltimore, seeing Stewart's red copper. How those early coins could remain that way for so long is just incredible.

John,
Stewart told me that this will be the only time he ever displays his entire collection.
He's a cool guy.....he said go ahead and play with the coins, that's why they are here.
He also said he views them once a month.......guess they are in a bank vault somewhere.
I asked if I could take pics tomorrow and he politely said, "I don't think I can do that!"
Not only is his collection spectacular, it is vast!!!!!!!
I believe he had 8 or 9 cases filled with copper!!....Simply incredible!!!
<< <i>Gail from PCGS(the keeper of the key)put this one in my shaky hands!!!
Well, at least it was the TruView and not the coin

I could'nt agree with you more!!

Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
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.
<< <i>It's one thing to read about what is in Stewart's set, but to see it is just astounding. I went back three times and probably will do so again tomorrow. I examined the 1958 DDO Lincoln (chances are I'll never see another one). It's difficult to pick out the "best part" but I think the MPLs were the highlight for me. >>
I went back 3 times also....going back tomorrow for more views in hand!!!!

He listened to my suggestion! Woohoo!
The 1938 Proof is beyond description. I'm assuming it is Stewarts?

Yes Sir it is.......Felt real good in my hand this afternoon.
I viewed it under my 10x loupe for 2 or 3 minutes!!!! Unbelievable coin!!!!
