    As it is with every one of us - and shall forever be - a new steward takes responsibility.

    Inevitably, having reached the next step, we reach even higher for a new goal. In our hobby, that the next caretaker eventually assumes the role of steward is a foregone conclusion, and here, the heir apparent became king via abdication, and not by inheritance.

    Choosing who inherits the throne is, apparently, still the preferred method for passing control of the kingdom. Who better to choose the next King?

    I applaud the transition, for the value of such collections is in large part through the appreciation of same amongst the masses who aspire to similar calibre. The sharing of the thing must truly bring the greatest joy, and such collections are best shared when they are passed on to the next guard, and we then have the opportunity to experience it. But for these transitions, we might rarely enjoy such history.

    It would be nice, then, methinks, to see these beauties, if not in the flesh, then at least in print, for surely there must exist the highest quality pictures, and our appreciation would not be withheld.

    How about it, fella?

    I just heard the set will be tru-viewed as most of Simpsons sets are and that a few upgrades are already on the horizon... I'm looking forward to those pics!

    If Mr. Simpson does indeed read this forum, thanks for getting the pics taken! It's fun to get a glimpse of coins of that caliber.
    Want to buy an auction catalog for the William Hesslein Sale (December 2, 1926). Thanks to all those who have helped us obtain the others!!!

    Unbelievable. It's like they struck the coin and then pulled it out of the press with velvet gloves...... >>



    ..then into a vacuum sealed bag for 112 years which it was then opened up and submitted to PCGS.
