Sometimes, it's an honor just to hold a certain coin

Sometimes, it's an honor just to hold a certain coin. I attend the MidAmerica show last month and I was stunned to see this coin and a bunch of other stellar coins (too crazy to list here) in a single case. I asked to see the reverse of this coin and David Hunt of Certified Assets put it into my hand. Stunning.

Here's a link to many of the other coins that were in the same case (without any fanfare).

Link It was a bit overwhelming.

That coin looked too perfect. I know this may sound strange, but It just didn't look real. Not that it was a fake or anything, but it really was flawless and it had amazing depth.

The finest example of the most beautiful US coin ever made - it would be a thrill to examine it in-hand!

Sweet coin! I'd definitely take this one over the modern 2009 issue any day!

Here's my pic of the same coin from the Portland ANA...............................pretty funny I think to have a $4,000,000 coin with a mangled sticker on it.......








And here was another in their case at the time (note that the sticker is in much better condition ):

I got to hold the NGC-holdered Cardinal Collection 1792 half disme. That was way, way cool.

Also got too hold a damaged VFish 1792 half disme at Larry Brigss' table at an ANA one year. That too was way cool. Held it in my hands, raw coin, awesome, palpable brush with American history.
