I wonder what Brent Pogue is doing now, is he completely out of coins ?
I always assumed they had to sell as it was a family collection and he might start something new on his own.
Also they still seem to have the 1804 Dollar, the 1854-S Half Eagle and the 1822 Half Eagle.
Does anybody know ?

Rumor Im going with is that he has secretly been adding some of the finest lowball coins to his new collection. I was told by a reliable source that TDN offered $10,000,000 for his 1794 $1 pcgs po01 cac but was tuned down...
Large size currency?

1901-S as nice as yours (ex:Eiliasberg?)?
There are other important coins is his collection that never came to market such as his 1841 and 1854-s quarter eagles.
I think he has started a PCGS Presidential Dollar variety collection trying to get all POS A and POS B dollars in high grade...
As long as he stays away from Central American Republic gold, we're cool.
Seriously, I hope he's still playing. He belongs in the game.

Why not reach out to him and ask? It seems like you two would have a lot to talk about.
I've spoken with him recently and can't imagine that he will ever be completely out of the game.

If the Bass Sylloge doesn't come up for grabs soon, the Anton estate might offer some fun
I heard a rumor that the coin was politically downgraded from NGC FR02 to get the bean
What? I thought Mark Salzberg said it would upgrade not downgrade. Isn't that what his email about the NGC registry suggested?
By no means. Kool-Aid has warped your logic. Luckily your emoji mitigates your offense
FR02 is honest enough for what's left of the coin, but JA got bored watching the first video of @Laurie telling @TDN what he couldn't buy.

Seriously?
EPN would likely take his call. Watching him bidding in situ, I can't count the number of times he frowned as his auction paddle judiciously went down, Don't the blame on him for being given a bad start.
.
I also get a kick from watching Steve Duckor and Jimmy Hayes continuing to get their kicks.
Maybe Brent'll collect posters from movies that had coins in them.
Look up schadenfreude
Then leave the guy alone. Prurient interest yuck!
When someone shows you their true colors believe them. It's why I wrote this poster off moons ago.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
First, to the extent that many of us enjoy sharing the hobby with like-minded individuals, yes, it matters if someone continues to collect coins. Especially when that person has many friends in the hobby, as does Brent.
And second, you ask "who would benefit from his continued collecting"? I'll ask, who would be harmed?

What is your beef with Brent?
As a slum lord you have a little bit of money, no one of merit smuches your behind save for a few dealers who are oblagated into their Faustian bargain.
Your premise is flawed

How many collectors benefit from your presence?

The best part of this site is that you have people from all walks of life and experiences. You have people collecting below their means. You have people collecting above their means. People with little means and people with vast means. You have newbies and grizzled vets. Novices, would be experts and a few Real McCoy's. People ready to share their knowledge. Seeds of wisdom. And of course you have folks with a pebble in their shoe.

I can tell you that I know of one fairly major collector who restarted his collection when the news of the Pogue sale came out. Having such an incredible collection in the news rekindled his interest. I am sure this happen to others too.
And a log in their eye...
Forgive me for coveting my neighbor's goods. I blame my neighbors for the grass being greener on the other side.
My biggest beef with the Internet is the cloak of anonymity that so many folks cuddle under, and in many case thrive under. Let's stay the course gentlemen.....coins and knowledge.
Better then in the keister I suppose

I appreciate any collector, who is a true knowledgeable collector, of whatever means. I also dislike idiots, of whatever means.
Wait a minute. That all sounds familiar. I think I know that tune!

I am nearly certain that Brent would not appreciate this thread. He does not want to be discussed in public forums. It would be more appropriate to discuss the Pogue Family coins that have been sold than to publicly speculate about Brent's current collecting activities.
Gazes:
Indeed, the Pogue sales spurred interest in coins and caused people who were already interested to spend more time thinking about rare coins. There was a lot of excitement.
Fortunately, Stack's-Bowers conducted lot viewing sessions in multiple cities and brought Pogue Collection coins to several major conventions. We should be grateful that the SBG staff successfully made the coins available to a large number of interested collectors.
On the whole, the Pogue sales were beneficial to the coin community, for multiple reasons.
To understand the classic U.S. coins that a collector owns, there is a need to understand coins that he or she cannot afford. Frequently, students of art learn about paintings that few people can afford, as learning about those paintings is necessary for attaining a substantial understanding of art history and interpretations of art in the present.

hasn't the guy been actively collecting coins for something like 30 years?
You have no idea what you are talking about

I don't and I'm quite aware of that.But I'm a good person. I can live with that.
You are assuming a lot on the subject matter with very little actual knowledge . What is the matter with you? Seriously?

Brent is an incredible student of numismatics. I have no doubt that he would had put together a set or collection of coins to the best of his ability if he were of average means. I think I can speak (as Past President of Stacks Bowers) that he lived and breathed numismatics since he was a teenager, and never "flaunted" his wealth to anyone...to the contrary he was always willing to share his knowledge as well as his coins to anyone.
Sour grapes
Wow. I didn't mean to do anything but apologize because I cannot AFFORD that which I hope for. I suppose YA'LL can forgive me, or not.
Laura's writing style is creeping in here, now and then. LOL.
Who can say " I love y' all " ? ... I got a size 12 in mine, once.
Afford:
In all seriousness, this statement by Afford is very much incorrect in a factual sense. Brent Pogue started collecting coins before PCGS was founded and would have continued to collect even if PCGS or NGC had never been founded. My series of articles about the Pogue Family Coin Collection have won two awards from the NLG and are widely recognized as being fair.
Brent never played the registry game; Pogue sets were registered by others after the consignment was arranged.
Brent was and is concerned about originality and coin doctoring. He would never assume that a coin that receives a higher grade from a third party is necessarily more desirable than a coin of the same type and date that received a lower grade.
He was NOT focused on top pops, as Afford suggests. Brent and his Dad were very interested in pedigrees, especially Eliasberg and Garrett.

I am certain, after extensive research, that the Pogue Family had the all-time best collection of 1815-28 Capped Bust Quarters to ever be publicly offered, after considering all those assembled from the 1840s to the present era.

I have seen much of your collection (at least the stuff photographed) and for the life of me don't understand how you can even mention your self in same sentence let alone think of yourself to be in a place to judge Pogue. When I see your stuff I basically just see a hodgepodge of fourm trendy stuff from the last 15 years funneled to you by a few dealers and a bunch of over auctioned fillers in between. Nothing that hasn't been done by others before, since or being worthy of greater conversation.
I would recommend getting off your high rocking horse, stop being a copy cat collector , learn basic people skills and stop relying on trolling as a mechanism of getting attention. If you do that maybe you would get the positive attention you clearly so desperately crave. It is a shame as when you decided to "emulate" my collection I welcomed you in and spent hours trying to educate you and your peculiarities. I am sure you think it is someone else's fault every trade dollar collector has written you off (save for maybe the hobbit in Montana) but I would encourage you to do some honest self reflection on why you can't elicit even a minimum of basic respect from any of the gentlemen you share a common bond with. After all for me the best parts of collecting is all about sharing the hobby with friends and being friendless would be sort of a travesty and make the amassing of coins sort of pointless. But hey keep writing those checks, dealers have mortgages too.

I've always enjoyed seeing afford's pedigreed coins he posts on the forum - very nice coins - but I think I enjoy the bickering between afford and Crypto a little more. This is the first time in about a decade of feuding that I've read anything about the "hobbit in Montana." This is great stuff.
