    That 1806 is out of this world, definitely the finest, as well as prettiest I've ever seen!

    I never got past the 1797.....Wow I would say it's like looking at a museum's quility collection but they are much better than any museum I know of.

    That is, by far, the nicest Draped Bust, small eagle half dollar I've ever seen. We will need much larger pictures of all of them.


    All very nice coins.

    It was a type set that broke up 5 or 6 years ago. I don't believe it was near the quality of the Knoxville Collection, however.

    Because it hasn't been submitted

    As a side note, the 1837 has and received the CAC sticker - it's just not on the holder as pictured. Recently, I downgraded two NGC purchases into PCGS + holders. I will only do that when JA and Laura and I all agree the coin was aggressively graded. When we agree with the grade, we will keep it in the holder - and such is the case with the 1837. PCGS will not cross it, but I don't care. image

    I think I'll likely need someone to call 9-1-1 if my main collecting interest ever waives from half dollars.

    You call that slowly??? It would take me a year of staring at each of those to even begin to take in their beauty. As I have said before, TDN--what a beautiful collection and thank you for sharing it with us. As are all of your coins, the 1797 is sooooooo beautiful!!!

    Nope. Laura wanted me to buy it, but I just couldn't see paying $100k+ for a MS coin when an equivalent PR could be added for $20k. Not for a mixed type set.

    Why is that 1827 not a 67? Only thing I see is a mark under the wing and some weakness in a couple of the stars.

    Damn that thing is gorgeous.
