Bust half guys - notice the flood of 1817 O.106a "Single Leaf" halves on Stacks-Bowers?

Looks like Stacks-Bowers has acquired a small hoard of 1817 O.106a "Single Leaf" CBHs... and when I say "hoard", I'm not exaggerating.

See for yourself - link

I mean, for god's sake, they've grouped lower-grade specimens in multi-coin auctions of anywhere from 4-11 examples per lot! But I must admit, some of 'em are really dang nice!

So does anyone else think this will ruin the market for this particular die marriage/state? It looks like the SB team is ahead of the game by downgrading the URS rating of the die variety from R4 to R3...

Cataloging error, or premonition? What do you think.................

I did notice this and thought it was silly.

That said, it wont affect anything

So long as my own example is better than anything offered by StacksBowers, I am not concerned about what this auction group will do to prices. In any case, I encourage collectors to study what is offered, and bid on what coin they want. The lady selling off her collection of 1817 Single Leaf CBHs bought any she could find, some good, some not so good. Prices will not be cheaper for a very long time.
