I'm guessing Blay is correct. I don't know the extent of Gerald Forsyth's collection, but his Lincoln plus varieties collection was on top for years. Gerald passed a number of years ago, and his family may be bringing his collection to auction. If someone is still at FUN, Andy Skrabalak would know. Sold Gerald a lot of Lincolns.
edited to add.......Gerald's Lincoln sets have been removed from the all time finest list. Everyone participating in those registries are showing an upgrade.

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?
Good thing I didn't book my room in New Orleans. LMAO.

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
Never be equaled? HMM. Maybe right now.
I think Mr. Eliasberg would be amused.

IMO no since saying that you could sell them if you had them isn't necessarily an offer to do business.

Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
I guess the coin world did not run Delloy off after all. Will be interesting to see what it is and who bought it.
I think it is a huge uplift for the hobby no matter what.
Might the collection be Seated and Trade Dollars.....
