    Nice pic. It's nice to see the faces behind the names. Out of curiosity, what coins are in Stewart's hands?

    You think this is motley? - Stewart, I will not show the photo of you holding a coin (an Eliasberg 1912, I believe, in it's slab, of course) in your teeth ... should I?

    For those of you who have not had the pleasure of meeting Stewart Blay, Stewart is as down to earth and genuine as any person can be. But he is our very own numismatic celebrity (I realized this while watching him signing autographs, smoozing with everyone, kissing babies). I was amazed. He is just having fun! Stewart, sorry to throw you under the bus, but it's the truth. Like it or not, you are a celeb : ) And look at the pipes on the guy! He was a wrestler, like Abe Lincoln himself!

    And we all had a blast. PCGS was fantastic, and B.J. Searles and her team were absolutely remarkable. -Well done!

    I'm holding my new 1909VDB PCGS PR65RB (thank you to Jon, the Angels and Brian), which rounded out the collection, and feeling pretty good. The photograph was taken by renowned photographer Anne McCullagh of McCullagh Studios™. (wife of fellow collector (red MPL only) Jonathan Watkins, and in the photo - nice job, Anne). And of course, everyone knows the "Matte Man" Brian Wagner. How does one complete a high-level collection of MPL in less then 5 months (without buying a full set outright?). Talk with Brian......

    I've changed the name of my collection - the coins may be officially RB an BN, but they are "toned" to me! And with a Blay, Eliasberg, Liston, Slattery, Epstein, Kelly, and Wagner in my collection (if I've forgotten or don't know of someone, please tell me), I have decided to go for a full heavy-hitter pedigree 'toned' set before I retire it, which will be soon, as I have completed what I set out to do. Anyone who would like to be a part of this, please PM or call me. I will swap, trade or work for pennies : ) But that is the plan.

    Thoughts or comments on the idea??

    Sounds like a movie, Rick. It's Stewart's native American name:
