Went up to the New Hampshire show today. Had a nice peaceful ride enjoy the ride. Looks like the show was set up very well for Covid. It was good to be at a show. Some nice coins on the floor and not in view for anyone to see where I found my Newp.
1826/5 $2-1/2 AU50 CAC
It’s an amazing coin in hand OMG , I also picked up the 1800 $5

Wow those are fantastic! Congrats!

asheland · October 2, 2020 2:34PM

Awesome!

RichieURich · October 2, 2020 2:36PM

I like the 1800 and LOVE the 1826!

divecchia · October 2, 2020 2:37PM

Wow, those a amazing!!! I hope to find something for myself there on Saturday.

Thanks for sharing, Donato

Both great looking pieces. I really like the design of draped bust gold, but see it so infrequently that I usually forget it exists until I get a reminder.

Did that piece from from CRO by any chance? Just looks like it's everything John likes... old, original, green label, CAC. Nice pick-up!

Boosibri · October 2, 2020 2:43PM

That 1826/5 $2.5 is a rare coin

shortnock · October 2, 2020 3:04PM

Wooooof!

Downtown1974 · October 2, 2020 3:04PM

Sensational!!!

Sunshine Rare Coins · October 2, 2020 3:07PM

Awesome pair!

Crusty · October 2, 2020 3:07PM

1826 is a dream coin... Only 32 estimated to survive. Only 5 CACd.... That thing is fricken sweet!!!

Pickwickjr · October 2, 2020 3:09PM

Yes the 1800 was from CRO
Thanks for the compliments, I was looking for a nice type coin or another draped bust $5 for the set. Had no intention on picking up a fat head. I love the design and wanted one but when I saw this coin I was blown away. Not only buy the Beauty of it, the rarity, pop report, cac pop report. Much more than I wanted to spend or had but I pulled a rabbit out of my free CRO hat. 😎
A welcome addition to the type set.
Thanks again

Fantastic Coins. CRO delivers.

Boosibri · October 2, 2020 3:23PM

Nothing like spending the equivalent on a Volkswagen of a coin. Did that a few times this month.

johnny9434 · October 2, 2020 3:32PM

Nice gold

alohagary · October 2, 2020 4:04PM

awesome

ThreeCentSilverFL · October 2, 2020 4:17PM

Very nice, old gold. Great pickups.

Mrbarlint · October 2, 2020 4:39PM

Fantastic looking coins. Congrats!

PQueue · October 2, 2020 4:44PM

Nice! 1826 $2.5 is BD-1 (only variety of the year); 1800 $5 is BD-2 (most common variety), blundered dentil at E of America.

Jimnight · October 2, 2020 4:47PM

Wow ... Real nice coins!

JimTyler · October 2, 2020 4:48PM

Well you sure got that out of your system.

Smudge · October 2, 2020 4:58PM

Well, damn. Poverty sucks.

pursuitofliberty · October 2, 2020 5:01PM

Very nice, like them both ... Draped Bust Gold are a prize in and of themselves, but Fatheads are so dang cool!

SeattleSlammer · October 2, 2020 5:24PM

Noice! With newps like that you’ll quickly enter into forum lore. ⭐️

oih82w8 · October 2, 2020 5:44PM

Those are some nice pieces!

Pedzola · October 2, 2020 5:52PM

I was unable to attend the show today, but this gives me some inspiration to check it out tomorrow. Just hope there is still some nice gold left.

Leeroybrown · October 2, 2020 6:40PM

An amazing pair of pickups Pickwickjr! I love them both. That 26/25 in particular is out of this world rare and a cac’d beauty!!!

291fifth · October 2, 2020 6:50PM

Both coins have excellent eye-appeal!

JRocco · October 2, 2020 6:57PM

Wow
Fantastic acquisitions.
Congrats on the pick-ups.

earlyAurum · October 2, 2020 7:44PM

Very nice coins! I especially like the 1826. Such a hard coin to find nice.

I especially love the look of that 1800. Congrats on a couple of awesome coins!

Thanks for the compliments everyone.

Liz, GFRC , CRO and Northeast Num. had nice coins on display.
GFRC had a nice 1799 $10 , 1802/1 $5 and an incredible 1857 seated dollar ms64+ cac.
It was nice talking to John and Dennis at the LSCC table and meeting new dealers. A great day for sure.

Wahoo554 · October 3, 2020 2:03PM

That 1826 is an exceptional find and will provide you years of enjoyment. I love the smooth even circulation wear and rich toning on the 1800.

SCT · October 3, 2020 3:37PM

Congratulations on some excellent coins. Sounds like it was a great show.

And I'm guessing that the back story of how you acquired the coin is probably as amazing as the coin itself...congratulations!!

RAB · October 4, 2020 7:10AM

Beautiful coins both. That 1826 is just awesome. Thanks for posting!
