Very spirited bidding, a grinning auctioneer lady...good times for all...

Walter Breen being hung... now that is a Photo!

What does that make my original Abe Kosoff sells the 1913 Liberty 5c and 1804 $1 Silver to John Hamrick and Warren Tucker (Worldwide Numismatics) from Dave Bower's collection (complete, with all the original markings on back) worth?

Were you the seller or the buyer?

I'm afraid to ask the obvious question...

MrEureka · January 27, 2011 7:16AM

I was the seller. The photo hung on my office wall for (I'm guessing) more than a decade. Unfortunately, I had no place for it in my new place.

I guess if someone wants one enough you could copy it onto your flicker account and have them do it as a canvas print, and then using a yard sale frame...make one yourself. Who'd know?

The late Jack Collins (the photographer) is probably smiling too.

There is no way that I'd want a pic of a twice convicted pedophile like him on my wall.

ambro51 · December 7, 2011 9:06PM

It IS an astoundingly well composed and artistic photograph....

Ive seen portraits which were no more than 'photographs' but this one....this is coming up on 'art'.

ricko · December 7, 2011 9:53PM

Amazing... but then, people paid astounding prices for beanie babies.... Cheers, RickO

Like it or not, in spite of Walter’s many well publicized, disturbing flaws, the man was a good numismatic writer and a great numismatist. Among those us who grew up as collectors reading his books and other works, there is a still a level of reverence for his positive attributes.

Yes, I realize this post originated almost a year ago, and StacksBowers wasn't a joined enterprise yet, but I'M STILL WAITING FOR S-B TO SHIP MY AUCTION LOTS, #>3Weeks

My suspicion is that it will be in strong hands for a while at that price. If and when it returns to the market, my suspicions are

Who owns the negative?

well said

many presidents, our founding fathers, virtually all big companies and many people you would call your best friend ALL have done and are doing horrific things to people, animals and the

environment, so if any of you are on the judge's seat, be prepared to judge more than you know

i am not even attempting to start a moral debate, but i can say that greatness can be a curse and the majority of those that have done great things have done many for better and worse
.
btw, anyone have a link to the auction lot, I still cannot find it. TY
