Anyone know whose collection that Laura is writing about??
"Legend Numismatics will have a major announcement at the FUN Show. We will be auctioning one of the greatest collections EVER assembled in our May Regency Sale. All we can say right now is, it is a PCGS HOF set that we exclusively built. It is a multi million dollar collection that will be sold UNRESERVED. The owner feels it is time to pass the stewardship of these magnificent coins to other collectors. Stay tuned. You might want to think about-or even book your New Orleans hotel room now! This sale will never be equaled."

Hmmmm. "The sale will never be equaled?"
Whoever owns the High Desert collection maybe? Maybe King Farouk came back to life?
Call me crazy, but I think I'll wait until I know what's in the sale before I book my hotel room.
Doggedly collecting coins of the Central American Republic.
Visit the Society of US Pattern Collectors at USPatterns.com.
We ran Delloy Hansen off already????
And we thought all the big ones who wanted to sell were done (Pogue, Gardner, etc). Glad I haven't spent any big money recently. At least she can't continue to say that there's no longer any good coins available.
The only sets that will never be equaled I can think of are Bruce’s dollars. I hope it isn’t those, his position as the top accessible collector is important for the hobby.
11.5$ Southern Dollars, The little “Big Easy” set
No idea, but the people wishing for big collections coming to market have their wish fulfilled!
Well, if the 1964 special strike penny is involved, I'm all in. To he#l with all the little Hydrants inheritance. All ten (and counting) of them. I want that penny. The 1964 special strike. Gotta have it.
Maybe @DIMEMAN is selling off the remainder of his Dimes???
Later, Paul.
Does it include the firth nickel?
Where is Mr. Trade Dollar? I'm talking Bruce M. I miss the guy. We should all try to be nicer and a little more understanding around here. It is the SEASON after all. I wouldn't blame the guy if he entirely gave up being a contributor here. He took a lot of unfair nonsense directed his way. Maybe it's his collection.
I doubt it. But.... Merry Christmas. Think about it.
The Firth, and the Thecond......
It is either Simpson, D Hanson or TDN. Those 3 come to mind for me.
I don't need to have my mind boggled in this day and age.....https://imgur.com/84JwcZ7
I will tell you all right now that it is not the "Nickel Triumph" set of Morgan Dollars. Wipe that one off the list...

No matter it's out of my price range?
Somewhat like the old sears wish book!
Enlisted in 1967 and pay was like $80.00 something a month!
There are a lot of anonymous great collections extant

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......
So soon after Pogue? Can the market take it?
Their is a ton of dough out there. I think so.

Me thinks it is the “crypto” collection .
You are right Mark.
I think we both know that's not the answer...
"This sale will never be equaled."
I can't wait to see what is in this collection!
Unfortunate that the Legend comments are so circumspect. If the collection is really Great, I'd have expected overwhelming enthusiasm in the announcement.
RE: "This sale will never be equaled."
That's what the mattress store down the street says, too.
Since the Legend auctions are modest in size, don't expect something on the scale of Eliasberg or Garrett.
I might book a flight for the show, but mainly to attend the members only PCGS show and see the grandson in NOLA.
Perhaps it will include both 3 cent silvers and nickels.
Well... Laura has been known to hype a few things... though always with justification.... and I would wager this will be truly notable. However, 'never be equaled', is quite a stretch... Never until the next big one is likely more accurate. Should be interesting...Cheers, RickO
This does seem to be larger than an average regency auction since the market report states it will be a two day sale with one night devoted only to this HOF collection.
I make a lot of speeches...one of my lines is "whenever someone says always, forever, everyone, etc. they are lying"..."never be equaled" sounds a lot like one of those...never is a long time.
I dunno, Apparently, Legend has handled more million dollar coins than any dealer. This year alone (if you read their Market Reports) they bought the most out of Pogue, the 1794 $1 at ANA, and recently the Confederate Half. They seem to have most of the big guys as customers, so why would any one question if they say it is a once in a life time unequaled collection?
They've earned their chops, but, frankly, "The Deal of the Century" seems to eclipse a simple "lifetime".
If the deal's less than $10M, @MrEureka will look in Lincroft and bid from the Ulan Bator passenger lounge. On the way to Bank Leu.
Do they have a '96NS or '08 QE in 62CAC? I can sell two of each of them right now at over CAC bid. Should I have said this on the BST?
The aisles will be running with Kool-Aid and blood before this is over with.
@She was already impossible to deal with. This won't help.
OK OK ENOUGH
It is my collection.
Greatest assemblage of chaff, chuff, over graded, overvalued, misrepresented, cleaned, whizzed, holed, abraded, common dreck ever put together by any one person. HSN and QVC are drooling.
It has to be Gerald Forsyth’s collection ? One or moreHOF collections
Darn Stewart, I had bet it was your Lincolns!
What are his collections? I saw buff nickels, mer dimes and walkers
Let's dispell the rumour right now, it's not my raw AUish Dansco 7070 set.
Sorry to break yer hearts!
Liberty: Parent of Science & Industry
The eight bins of wheaties parked next to the Ferrari?
Smitten with DBLCs.
My vote is TDN and it will be interesting to see how it plays out.
No one would buy it now
Joel Anderson is selling a world class currency collection through Stack's.
Could this be his coins or another collector in the Anderson family? My understanding is that there is more than one Anderson who collects.

I don’t get it ??
I can’t tell if it is a shot or praise or door number C

"Mind Boggling World Class Collection is Coming"
If it were just "Mind Boggling", it would describe my collection. The "World Class" modifier puts me out of the running....
2 days plus a "platinum" night - sounds even better!
Time to book a room at my sons place!
Crypto Currencies, not Monikers, Crypto, no offense. Yet, who was first?
I'm watching the BST.
So the Legend report says that this collection is not going to auction now since it was sold intact. Anyone know anything more about this?
This set was retired a few months ago

Well, if it was a big important collection sold intact recently, my totally unsubstantiated guess is that it’s on its way to Utah (or stored at David Lawrence?)...
My missing collection of Honduras copper by die variety has surfaced ???
That was my uninformed guess as well
It's simply amazing how easily something is misunderstood here. Then there's a tendency for others to take the same misunderstanding after someone points it out.
I just try to assume the other poster has his heart in the right place matter how his words might be taken. This is what a message board does best; tell you what the other people are thinking and why.
Most people make sense all the time in light of their premises.
D'oh! Old thread.
