A shout out to Deplorable Dan.

As some of you know I had been looking for a $20 St. Gaudens in PCGS AU-58+ for five years including running a want ad on the BST board for the last three and a half years. Recently Deplorable Dan saw one on Facebook and immediately purchased it for me before he contacted me. I have never been on Facebook and would never have had a chance to purchase the coin.
I have never met Dan and until he contacted me about the coin had never corresponded with him before. He offered the coin to me at a very small markup, and I purchased it. What a great act of kindness to a stranger like me. One of the things that make Numismatics such a great hobby is the fantastic people that are involved in it.
I hope to be at the FUN show next month and get to meet Dan.
Also, the USPS did a great job and got the package to me in only two days.

    Dan strikes me as the kind of guy who never brags about his accomplishments and we has members here only know the tip of the iceberg when it comes to his collection and abilities.

    Knowing Dan a little more behind the scenes, I can say without a doubt that we do only know the tip of the iceberg as far as his abilities go. He's probably one of the most knowledgeable collectors on the board.

    Here’s the pics from when I had it, the submitter told me he felt like he got shafted as he was expecting ms62.

    Honestly, I’ve had this in the back of my mind for the better part of 2 years and surprised it’s taken me this long to stumble across one. Most of these must be in very strong hands.


    Great job Dan! Thank you for the pic!😎

    @DeplorableDan sounds like one heck of a guy and I would proud to know him. I've read great things about him all over this board.

    Maybe one day I will be honored and meet him at a show. Until then, keep being who you are, "A great guy!!!"

    Lets not get political LOL.

    I am planning to meet Deplorable Dan for lunch this week. He seems like the real McCoy for sure.
