Milas’ set out together in the 80’s and sold in 1995 IIRC won’t be matched for half eagles

Insider2

Mr. Del Hansen is on his way.

BloodMan

Harry Bass has to be on the list

D. Charles Link should be a candidate.

Gene Gardner was a tremendous market force as well as an avid contributor to and sponsor of spreading numismatic knowledge.

Eddie Milas, Harry Bass and Brent Pogue started before 1985.

Depends on the series. I do think collecting has changed and while a pedigree is special, I am not convinced that the same weight given to pedigrees associated with collectors of today will match those of earlier times. Partial reasons for this include TPG with greater emphasis on CAC.

I suppose over time we will find out

He is a co-founder of Newlink Genetics [NLNK] located here in Ames, Iowa. Never knew he was into coins [mostly CBHs IIRC] until just a few years ago.

Most silver bust material...half dimes, dimes, quarters and, of course, the piece de resistance: the only complete die marriage of capped bust half dollars including the crushed letter edge proofs (at an average grade of 63).
