Been pretty slow going building this set, but then a few key people helped to bring this lovely lady home.

More thanks to Eliasberg and recently Pogue for their stewardship.

    WoW!
    That one is something you will always be proud to have had custody of.
    Lots of coins that I wished that I owned have passed these boards, especially on the Hansen Watch thread. This is the first that I am truly jealous.
    Good job. Your bust set will be admired for ages.

    Is this the PF67 on the CoinFacts?

    Yes. I call this the Mission Impossible Set not be be confused with the current Tom Cruise hit in a theater near year. Lucky to have a shot at one coin every year or two. It is the coinfacts picture to the gentleman who inquired.

    Thanks to everyone for the glad tidings and appreciation.

    Good to know Bruce. Thx. Hope all is well you. See you in Philly? What was the 1821 graded then, the same? Looks likethe 1821 was PR66 when sold at Eliasberg per coinfacts.

  • tradedollarnuttradedollarnut Posts: 20,166 ✭✭✭✭✭
    1. Gorgeous coin. I actually preferred it to the 1822

  • BigMooseBigMoose Posts: 1,469 ✭✭✭

    A very good friend bought the PR 1821 out of the Pogue Sale. Both the 1821 and 1822 are spectacular coins. I viewed them at Eliasberg in 1996-7 and they were encased in Capital Plastic type holders at that time. Mind boggling coins in person. Congratulaions, GoBust!

    Pretty cool to imagine those proofs in capital holders in 1996-7. Were there a lot of Eliasberg coins in plastic even then I wonder.

    Many of the highlights were in giant (blue?) holders, perhaps 12" x 18". Made it tougher to stick them in your pocket and walk out the door, I suppose.

    Edited to say OOPS! I was thinking about the gold sale in 1982.

    holders at Eliasberg. The deep blue holders kind of made the coins look dull, but not those Proof Quarters!

    I was sitting behind Kevin with a buyer-friend when this sold. Mr. Lipton and @Smokerise were jockeying on these. My guy got shut out and IIRC KL bought this one. What a great coin! What an impossible project!

    What a beauty ! Looks like a Newman coin. I've never seen these coins in hand. Is there any cabinet friction like most bust coinage has ?

    great thing about an impossiblr project is that even if you dont complete it, you still have an amazing collection

    Beautiful coin!

    Gold sale had a lot of large thick plastic holders. S/N/C much less so. Most in standard flips.
