Just LOOK at his Barber Halves in the Heritage FUN sale!!! EXQUISITE AND MAGNIFICENT!
He's among the mosst rarified collectors: Duckor, Blay, Lee, justhavingfun and others....
Dale is the epitome of what collectors strive to be.

Probably not for long, if Longacre continues to call her "The Man".

I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.

I stood over them at the Heritage booth at the Long Beach show, and just stared. I was so blown away. I kept trying to decide which one I liked the most --- an impossible task. Over the top material...

Very nice coins! Very nice photography by Goodman! All seen from the registry set where the coins are pictured. I have also took note of the the heritage photography??
It's also interesting how heritage has full blown pics of almost every coin from that set!

After first meeting him and his lovely wife at the Denver ANA, I had the opportunity to spend a few hours with him about a year later to view his Barber Halves in person and show him my growing half dollar collection. Not only was it wonderful to study each piece and share together, but the stories of the hunt for several of the coins was even more fun.
I saw the set in Baltimore and will do one more study of them in Orlando before they are passed on and disbursed to the next lucky collectors fortunate to acquire them.
Reading the first description for the 1892 which starts off the Heritage listing, this will be a pretty special event for those of us who collect the series as we try to add pieces or upgrade others. Especially considering they are from Dale and his efforts. It doesn't get much better then this.

I notice his INCREDIBLE 1892-O micro O PCGS MS 68 Eliasberg coin already has a very substantial bid on it.
Great job on building such a nice set Dale!
I think Heritage could have done a much better job with the online image, it gets quite a bit grainy even after the first zoom.
