congratulations!

Won this by bidding in person at a Heritage auction (Denver ANA, 2006). It's the plate coin from THE half dime book ("Federal Half Dimes 1792-1837" by Logan and McCloskey):

Sorry, but as close as I have ever been is the TV acutions like Gallery63 or Storage Wars!

My favorite auctioneer of all time was George Bennett. Picture a guy who looked and sounded like an English WW I vet going as fast as a North Carolina tobacco auctioneer. If you looked at him, scratched your nose, belched or farted, it was counted as a bid.

My current favorite is Bob Merrill of Heritage. No one else comes close.

Best,

Jeff

I have some in my collection I'm very happy with. But it's hard to top what Barndog posted. Wow.

Congrats on the graduation! Very cool.
