Which current member's collection would you most like to see in person, with that member, for a priv

gecko109

Boiler for me, but TDN and TomB are a couple of very close 2nds!

soty27

TDN, Sunnywood- only about a handful here though as I am not a fan of roughly 80% of the coins in the set.

ctf_error_coins

Fred for sure. That would be a priceless experience. And I only live 2 hours away

yellowkid

I must admit I'm not familiar with many of the members. TDN for sure, I know Sunnywood has a great collection, I like what I've seen of JACM commems also. I suspect Bear must have some killers in his box of twenty but we never seem to see any.

Justacommeman

Too many to choose from. I will defer to the second half..............MJ

doh

I vote QuarterNut...or maybe TomB. Both would be very fun!

messydesk

Most like to see? Tough call, but SmallEagle's type set and (: SpaceMonkey's colonials would be on my short list.

grip

Anyone that has nice early type goodies.And if toned the better.

droopyd

I'd like to see Stewart's, as long as he diesn't TALK THE WAY HE TYPES!!!

Fairlaneman

Anyones! I just like coins.

Ken

Barbercoin

Sunnywood was top on my list.

19Lyds

James Sego's Number One Major Varieties IKE Set followed by Jim Elsmore's Number One Complete Variety FDI Presidential Dollar Set.

ricko

There used to be an active member titled GSAGuy... he had a stunning collection of CC Morgans. Those would be lovely. Cheers, RickO

mkman123

anyone. I just like looking at coins. I could care less if you have a million dollar collection, I get the same satisfaction staring at some strangers collection that comes into a coin store even if its only worth 20 bucks.

saintguru

I've seen the one I most wanted to see....Dr. Steve Ducko's...it was much, much NICER than my wildest imagination. Having seen Sunnywood's toned dollars, I'd include him, and I have a feeling that Dale Friend would knock everyone's eyes out.

Now, there are two collections that are not really publicly known. One is the "Prominent Eastern Collector" from CT. who has some of the best modern gold in the world, and who know what else, including the Judd-1776. And there's the HUGE Texas collector who easily has the biggest collection of rarities of all types. That's likely the grandest of them all.

Not sure i comprehend the 80%,care to elaborate?

cladking

There are a lot. The best part of seeing someone's collection is hearing and seeing the passion
with which it's been assembled. So many stand out and some have already been mentioned.

I'd like to see WonderCoin's collections. Not just the clad but the platinum and all the other stuff.
It would be a hoot and an opportunity to learn a lot as well as see some things I'm not familiar
with. Of course most of us don't exactly have a "box of 20" for easy viewing so most of our col-
lections won't be very widely seen.

Still we can dream and speculate.

STONE

I don't know him, and he rarely posts, but Sam123 has some unbelievable raw coins.
I would love an invitation from him to share with me what he has locked away.

Yes, there are many members like Dale Friend, TDN, Stewart Blay etc. with wonderful collections, but I have a feeling that Sam would edge them out.

GobrechtGrapevine would probably be a close 2nd...
and MrHalfDime would be a near tie, but would take 3rd.


I like mystery, and the above 1-3 all seem to have that quality

I didn't get a private viewing but I was lucky enough to see Sunnwoods set at the FUN show last year....seeing that again wouldn't break my heart. For now I would have to go with Boiler as Mark has some of the most amazing and colorful patterns I have ever seen....I have been trying to get him to adopt me for years

PawPaul

I would like to have dinner at D. Halls house and then after desert we could smoke cigars and pour over his Mint State Franklin set

Type2

I'll show you mine. This is all I have.

BaseballAbs

Jim Mcguigan's half cents registry set in person would be awesome to see. Who is TomB and what set is it?

TwoSides2aCoin

I've enjoyed so many people's camaraderie around this place that I'd be happy to visit most of you and share stories of how coins brought us here. It's a dog eat dog world, but there are some decent people in the coin world in spite of how it may seem. I feel kinship in this stupid box. Isn't that peculiar ?

BECOKA

Shoot, there are so many, many listed on this thread.

Wish I could see Saint Guru's collection before it gets auctioned off. Guess I'll have to settle for auction photos.

Gemineye

I wonder if ...Longy... is finished with his breakfast this morning....!!!!....

coindeuce

Ronyahski. Monster Seated type collection.

BECOKA

I'll have to add FatMan, he's got some pieces I would love to own someday.

oldwestgold

Sunnywood #1 because I want to hold the finest 93-S on the planet and put a loupe on the incredible 81-S , but I'd love to see Saint gurus awesome Saints in hand too.
I too have heard of the eastern collector, and while probably not a member here, I would really like to know what's hiding in his safe.

holeinone1972

I want to be one of the only people on Earth to see the "White Collection!"

saintguru

JZ....go to the Heritage FUN catalogue in the works. My coins are there are for sale. You can see them at FUN. NOTHING compared to Duckor's but it's a decent "sampler" of what he has. Our coins are exactly the same style of originality...Akers influenced. Small but quite nice.

Stewart Blay
Bruce Scher
Tradedollarnut

I've been to heaven and seen Saintguru's St. gaudens. Wouldn't mind seeing them again!

speety

Laura!

It'd probably come down to Tradedollarnut, Dale Friend, or Sunnywood with Roadrunner being in fourth place (if he hasn't sold most of his seated/bust coinage).

Of any collections out there, The "Prominent Eastern Collector", Gardner (Yeoldone on NGC Registry), and the Pogues would rank up there with TDN.

saintguru

The "Prominent Eastern Collector" would blown some minds. And many are still raw. He'd make some new top-pops in 20th Century gold. 68's!

mrguby

not a member but my brothers dead father in law.1.5 mill in coins only thing is no one knows where they went!!!!!!!!!!!!!

saintguru

Pogue

Nuff said. Probably the biggest, rarest in the world.

Well, duh. But is any member of this family a board member here?
I don't think so, but then again I don't know everyone by first/last name here!

oreville

Stewart Blay. Hope his collection is as colorful as his metaphors. Mr copper.
TDN. Classy collector and classy collection.
Wondercoin. A marvelous blend of moderns and classic coins. Brilliant mind.
Cladking. Keen insight into the world of the early modern era.
Michael. Former member who really knows silver type coins better than anyone.
Roadrunner. He knows everything. Dazzling belnd of gold and silver collecting, nearly everything except moderns. Another brilliant mind.

Many others too including MrEureka, boiler, scher, sunnywood, Saintguru, TomB, etc.

Also many dealers on here as well.

lkeigwin

Stewart Blay's Lincolns. And Bill Jones' collection, just because I admire him.
Lance.

drddm

Dale Friend's Capped Bust Halves..........what a sight to behold!!!

BTW, I hear they will be on display at the FUN show in January...........wish I was going

Swampboy

Stewart Blay's for me because mint state wheat cents are one of two things that still make my heart pound. (The other thing has to do with Stone's avatar ).
