  CRO (JA and earlier DW) newletters reflect the special place they have in the Colonial Coin world.
  After enjoying the update in activities, and checking out the inventory, don't forget to take in the archives where some of the finest known specimens are on display.

  Maybe if the CRO corporate jet had been depicted with fighter escorts for extra security there would have been less question as to its authenticity.

  Thanks to CRO for the entertaining review of 2012! CRO definitely made my 2012 Highlights Reel. Here is an 1876-CC quarter that I purchased from John back in October. The piece fits very comfortably in my Ponderosa Green Label Carson City Type Set.

  Another great read. I always enjoy the CRO reports and a summary of 2012 was appropriate...and funny.

  After my coins come and go my memory of my meals and conversations with the boys will long remain.............Always amongst the highlights of any show. MJ

  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......

  No need. Everyone knows RYK provides 'fighter escort'----he's got a mean machine (BB gun-equipped Cessna), colored dirty old gold.

  Damn HOW do you SELL that Ryder 30????? If it got into my hands they'd have to chop the hand off to see it leave! (was that the Hinckley coin?)

  I've been trying to convince them to get a private plane for years. Alas, my attempts at this point have been futile. I do, however, like the idea that CRO could own the one and only An-225 ever fully assembled.

  For sure. If we buy a giant airplane for advertising purposes, we INSIST that it be fully assembled.

  I'm glad to see that Colonials are being given the respect they deserve; for too long they were treated like ugly stepchildren when they were in actuality the grandparents.... >>
  
  
  
  
  CRO is among the very best in the business. John (and Dave when he was there) not only helped me build my colonial type set collection, but helped me understand the nuances of colonial coin collecting and the importance of each coin. I'm proud to count them among my good friends in the hobby.
