Nice. It seems like it has no prior pedigree. If so, it can just be known as the Morelan Specimen. Kind of nice to have the first spot in a pedigree list of such an old coin!

I like how the description says, "The connoisseur of early American coinage will find this coin to be a true treasure."

You seriously think it has no prior pedigree.....how much research did u do to come up with that statement of fact?

More than you?

I did note earlier that it’s currently in timgoth99’s Registry Set but haven’t found anything before that or a name for timgoth99 yet. It seems plausible that the set belongs to a Tim Goth but searches haven’t turned one up yet.

Looking forward to your research results

Nice shack Bruce!

Looking twice, thrice and then some more at the coin photos and video in this thread makes one thing abundantly clear.

Humans are very skilled at creating items of timeless beauty with their minds and bodies alone, without the need for any outside assistance.

This coin is a thing of beauty that was created by skilled craftsmen with metal, coin dies, a screw press, human muscle and the human mind.

People who can create things of beauty with their minds and hands are amazing.

Prefacing a comment with "It seems like" is not making a statement of fact, Give the guy a break.

Just messing around Dad. I forgot to place an emoji, what is my punishment?

Sorry, but I don't believe you were just "messing around".

Regardless, your punishment is no posting (under any username). Please note the lack of an emoji that might give the impression I'm messing around.

Oh shoot I forgot the Great Feldini is a fortune teller, mind reader, illusionist, trickster and trouble maker. I will make note, thank you for your invaluable input. Glad you are back, what would we all have done without your presence your eminence.

He certainly was missed more than you and your alt @afford. I'm just surprised they let you back as you always seem to find trouble even with the tamest of posters.

Edited to add you should know me better, if I knew the pedigree I would have worded it differently, but I don't and I don't have the time to research it and I don't even want to however great coins have always been owned by great collectors and I have to beleuve in 150 years or so a great collector had to have owned that great piece.

I think there's an excellent chance that you're correct about the provenance. Maybe that information will be unearthed.

I hope someone can unearth it. After all his interest, I'm sorry to hear @Realone won't be looking.

Nice house.

I assume that somewhere in the house there is a numismatic equivalent to a "Man Cave" [aka a "Coin Cave"; or a "Coin Vault"; or maybe a "Scrooge Mc Duck vault with diving board"].

Or maybe the entire house will suffice for same

You beat me to it - “enjoyment” is the word that quickly came to mind.

Just another shiny bauble. I rely upon low paid researchers to do the grunt work

Ouch.

If you only knew.

Awesome!!! Now you have an uber gem PL half dime to go with your mind blowing DPL 1794 Dollar!!

MFeld - The only dig is at ignorance. Probably a wonderful coin, but is that all it is? When posting some magnificent result of the coiner's work, viewers should expect more than crow-enticing shiny objects. Flowery nonsense aides the education and long-term interest of no one - not even the crows.

If this is a "new" specimen, then how it was found and how it relates to others is the story, The "cost" is immaterial and ephemeral; it will change next time the coin changes hands.

If BM is the owner/discoverer, then he should be honored to write and publish the details for all to enjoy....or at least as much as can be reasonably presented.

I enjoy the eye candy. I'm happy when owners post.

If researchers want to post information, that's good too. It's not necessary for researchers to expect everyone to be a researcher all of the time.

To be honest I pedigree every coin in my collection. I have a huge coin library and spend countless hours researching. I am fully aware that most don't care about pedigrees, I happen to love them its akin to the history of the coin and that is my first love. But since I spend so much time, doing it for free or doing for those who don't care doesn't encourage me to go out and do it and thus I end up just doing it for myself.

Do you publish your pedigree information? All your research deserves to be preserved with the coins. I know some posted pedigrees on their Registry Sets but there may be other great ways to post that information.

I do recall you saying that you care about old pedigrees but not more recent ones. Do you keep track of newer pedigrees for your coins, or not?

I love finding a list provenance. I’m just not gonna do it when I’m tweaked by smoebody

Yeah, I don't really understand the post, but there's been a series of them with a similar angle recently.

I don't publish other than here really. And I don't do the Registry thingy. I preserve my own pedigree info in my personal notes and/or right here. I only pedigree the older stuff, nothing new. Just the ole time collectors/numismatics/dealers.
Edited to add, I do have pcgs put it on the holder.

Good to know you have it added to the holder. Unfortunately, we know it's just as easy as for the next owner to request PCGS remove pedigree information from a holder, so a more permanent record is nice.

One place that might be interesting to add the information you found may be in Heritage listings if you sell there.

It's pretty tedious reading through the innuendo etc, and excuse my ignorance on the coin, but here's a question - considering the die crack and weakness of the stars on the left side, along with the prooflike surfaces and great flow lines - it looks like a really early strike from a die that didn't last long. Were there other die combinations?

"Wow" doesn't begin to cover it, congrats.

I’m sure she was but I thought the whole thing very funny. I practically have a whole season written on my dinner napkin for this sit com gold in the making

I know what you mean but "luck" is probably just a tiny part of the equation. I consider you to be a lucky man too!
A coworker likes to tell us that he feels lucky every morning he wakes above ground.

I meant that Bruce is very “ lucky” to potentially have Laura living just steps away from him. Almost like a dream come true

Do you have a nice guest house?

Make sure they don't make a mess on that beautiful decking when they plaster the pool.

By the way, that was a triple dog dare... so you sorta have to do it
