This is really an impression collection. All the coins seem really high quality and many seem to the best or most desirable of specific years and types. The 1861-D and 1861-C $5 come to mind. I am surprised that there aren't any discussions on the upcoming auction.
I was personally interested in buying in the first auction but was blown out on the San Francisco quarter eagles 61-S and 62-S .
Maybe folks are interested buying don't to draw too much attention...

Impressive set. Some amazing pieces. None are within my comfort level.
I have wanted an 1861-O $20 for years. I really like the one in this set with its nice toning.
I am sure it will find a nice home. Wish it was going to be mine.
Amazing coins for sure. The missing 1864-S $5’s and 10’s are noteable. Those dates are so tough.

1864 S half eagles was delivered to the SFBM Paying Clerk on July 11th
The entire years mintage of 2,500 1864 S eagles was delivered on

They must have both seen heavy circulation
For some reason I really like the name Big Mo
Anyone have a photo of him?

The result were very impressive. The 1864 and 1865-S quarter eagles set records at ~111k and ~50k respectively! Very nice indeed.
I wonder if the collector served on the Big Mo!
The name is a great honor to those that served.

Do you have a link to the auction?
Also, no one pointed out that Shemp Howard (pictured above) was Moe's older brother.

None from the Big Mo collection. Just fun to follow.
Remind me, do you already have an 1864?

The four winningest Bidders in Big Mo:
Bidder # # coins Total $$ Hammer without BP
8063 7 $526,000
Floor 4 $410,000
8026 9 $226,500
8216 2 $125,000
Anyone care to identify the BIG Winners???? I can't make tab work for some reason. Bidder is 4 numbers followed by # coins.
As a reminder, I don't have one unfortunately. Cool date if you can find a nice one and the price has just gone up.
That's not Moe. That's Shemp.
