    Yes, they are a very attractive young couple and must be extremely busy with their companies.

    The half disme is just wonderful. What history!

    Thank you TDN and @privaterarecoincollector for sharing these coins and your insights.

    I just thought about it, one thing we'll never hear from TDN is "hey I just upgraded my type set". :D

    Hansen did buy coins out the Jung Set and they were posted in the Hansen thread, just not if any of the early stuff like TDN has.

    Good point ! He bought nothing early, irreplaceable or outstanding so far like TDN did.

    Sorry, No joke. Who is Oliver?

    Jung

    Thanks, I googled him. Saw he sold a collection in 2004. He must still be alive - yes?

    of course Im alive !!!

    I don't believe it! Is that really you????? Are you in your eighties?

    The article @Justacommeman posted mentioned he married his wife in 2012 so I doubt it. You don't see many octogenarians getting married.

    Im quite young still in coin terms, Im an internet guy.

    WOW. Thanks for the Eye candy! Spectacular coins in all respects, and they all go well together!
    Enjoy.

    What's the Condition census on the1793 Lib Cap 1c ? That thing is Dreamy.

    2nd finest known at 62+. The True View makes it look AU, the in holder pics look solid 63.

    I don't have any canned food but I was in Walmart earlier this morning and saw this bread,,,,,,, I bet I could get 50% off if I asked the manager, :#

    I've read that Mr. Jung was going to keep some of his favorites.

    I am gobsmacked on why that Half Disme doesn't fall into the "favorites" category.

    Congrats TDN!

    Why would you be gobsmacked? Different collectors have different preferences and there can be many factors that cause someone to prefer one coin over another.

    Hes surprised to learn that coin is not a favorite in “the type set”. Not hard to understand why, really. I’m surprised as well.

    But good to know that different collectors have different preferences.

    Do you know which type set coins were kept? I don’t. Perhaps if we knew that (as well as any stories behind them) one or more of us would feel differently than we do now.

    Surprised is a better choice of words.

    I did not intend to be critical or taken very seriously because I know nothing of what was kept and the stories behind each coin, of course.

    If I were to sell all my coins with the intention of keeping a few, most of what I would keep would be the ones that I was emotionally attached to as well. And they are not the most desirable to the coin world.

    The Half Disme is the grail coin for so many and just struck me as a keeper. That's all.

    I know at least one. 1795 $10.

    If PRCC was willing, it’d be really cool to know which others he could not bear to part with yet.

    I can certainly understand how you feel about that coin and I feel the same about some others that were sold. I am curious about any stories and/or special attachments for the ones that are being kept.

    I know two coins that were kept and I’d keep them too: the Garrett 1795 eagle and half eagle. What a pair!

    I just recently read that story in the Rare Coin Market Report.
    Great article and no surprise that you'd keep that one, for sure.

    The half disme, more so than any other, epitomizes the example of a bad coin making a great coin’s price hard to figure. I had several advisors stating the coin was $600k max based upon a previous auction price realized for a same grade coin. But that coin appeared to be cloroxed while this example is pristine.

    This coin was graded PCGS 66 when the other 66 have been still 63 and 64s.

    I think the 1796 no stars quarter and 1808 quarter eagle in Oliver's collection are simply irreplaceable. They are both gems and are worth north of $2mm each. I assume that these would be keepers. Though that 1796 would fit beautifully in Bruce's set.
