He seems to relish a mysterious existence. Is it a pseudonym for a well known dealer?? A fugitive from justice? Seems very odd in this day and age someone would desire anonimity w/o a questionable motive??
Sure would like to see the 1858 DDO he has for sale at 200K.

As for the 1958 DDO I was offered that coin (MS-64RD) by him in a sealed bid auction in 1996. I was 2nd bidder at $25,000. The winning bid was $25,025.
I found out later it didn't sell. Only later did it sell for $35K or perhaps a small amount more.
$200,000! Wow! I'd rather have a PR-66CAM Stella. Maybe Stewart will buy it so he can have all three!
<< <i>Is the 1858 DDO a FEC? >>
Anyone have a pic they care to share?

I purchased my 1990 no S cent from him.
Edited to add; The $200k coin is a 1958 DDO as Eagle Eye mentions - not an 1858.

My digital cameo album 1950-64 Cameos - take a look!
The OP most likely meant 1958 DDO, not 1858 DDO.
The third poster wanted to know if it was a FEC or a "Flying Eagle Cent".
The fourth poster wanted to see a picture of the "Flying Eagle Cent.
The fifth poster, that's me, states that the coin Rick Snow, the second poster was referring to IS a doubled die 1958 Lincoln cent which is very rare with only THREE known to exist. Stewart Blay, the famous Lincoln Cent collector owns two of them. I too would love to see a picture.
