    Pretty amazing for many reasons! I wonder, is that "HRH Simpson" or "Warren Buffett Simpson?"

    I have a sneaking suspicion that Laura had a BIG HAND in assembling these sets !!!

    I know I was very surprised to see the Blay Barber Dime set dethroned.

    It happens about twice a month on these boards...just when I start to think my little coin collection might have some small bit of significance, someone (e.g., "Simpson") comes along and stomps all over my EGO!!! image

    One of the first group of coins graded by PCGS under their new service. Each coin was
    graded by a team of graders at either Legends office or at the recent show in Texas. I forget that part
    of the story. It was a little private grading party.

    If this is a good representation of how often PCGS will use the + designation, I'm dissappointed with its high frequency.

    I"m thinking this may be Bob Simpson founder of XTO Energy. I heard he collects coins and he lives
    in the DFW Metroplex area. Just a guess.

    Simpson bought much (maybe all?) of the "Law Collection" -- so where the Law Collection was king, just insert Simpson in there and you have much of the story. Simpson obviously bought more than the Law Collection.

    I've seen the capped bust half dimes and those "+ grades" were certainly warranted on some of those coins. Too bad there are no images.

    Stunning isn't even the word.... Wow.

    Laura builds some incredible sets, and I suppose that if I had all the money in the world, and told her to build me the best sets possible, that I'd have stuff awfully like that. I think that this takes more than just money, but money sure does help.

    The coins are impressive but the collection is not. Having someone build a collection for you takes the fun out of it IMO. Kind of like having the ability to date top models but having your lackey go out on the date

    Do you think the guy has taken the time to look at what he's bought or actually has the coins in hand or doing the upgradings or adding the coins to his registry? There's no way someone buys 10 million worth of coins, drives them home and looks at this stuff. He might have them secured and delivered or they're in some kind of holdings where someone else is managing them. IMO, a window shopper! Investor.

    But if the guy is toting his coins home and gloating over them, doing the upgradings and registry work then he's my kind of collector! But with the kind of stuff he's buying, I don't think that's even remotely possible.

    I believe that Legend subsequently brokered a deal in which Simpson purchased a ca. $30M pattern collection, making Simpson's pattern collection the
    largest in private hands.
