    How does Blay's collection measure up to Allen Lovejoy's? Lovejoy owned an 1894-S I believe.

    "Two things are infinite: human stupidity and the universe; and I'm not sure about the universe."
    -Albert Einstein-

    Mistakes are natural. But repeated mistakes without reflection are something else. That may be the “stupidity” he was referring to. In research, he admitted uncertainty openly. “If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?” This shows humility. Even a Nobel laureate accepted doubt. That humility makes the quote less cynical and more observational.

    Dr Alan Lovejoy had the finest capped bust dime collection as well as later dimes uncluding Barber dimes.

    I was fortunate enough to acquire Lovejoy’s 1834 dime in PCGS MS-67 26 years ago which much later stickered with CAC.

    Stewart came along much later on and dimes was not his primary focus unlike Lovejoy yet he knew quality for the assigned grade.

    When a guy has "THE" eye for a coin (any coin), and a passion for quality, we can pretty much rest assured that he knows, sees, AND acquires the best coin(s) available . Thus, I can deduce with certainty that they're out of my league.
    So I covet. Sue me.
