I’m lagging badly today (except for the coffee). I hope to hookup in OKC next week with all the participants here that may be attending! Here’s another new RD in my IHC “hoard” (my missus’
term):
I sold my 67RD example recently. While I liked it, others made it controversial. It’s one of only 3 graded 67RD’s but it got to be the subject of too much criticism & I just got tired of it. Today’s NEWP is a stunning beauty - a full on 66+ RD that’s essentially mark free & with great eye appeal. Not to mention the coveted double stickers (a nod there to my friend @winesteven).
@pursuitofliberty . Thank you for posting my 1807 coin pic, truly appreciated. @Catbert . Thank you for your kind words. Speaking of other "treasure", I assume you are also the Catbert with the wonderful article in the Gorbrecht Journal. I keep this issue by my side of the sofa just so i can admire your New Orleans coins on a regular basis. james
I hope everyone is enjoying their Saturday morning... I'm in the throes of moving my girlfriend in this weekend... her house is closing in a couple of weeks. Away from coins for the day...

Hi Guys! Back from my travels just in time to go to Oklahoma! I love August!
Anyway, I was a guest speaker at Witter University instructing the teens all about Bust Coinage. I discussed how to buy and sell and make money along with the many technical aspect of Early American Coinage. To ensure that the students were going to enjoy the talk, I gave away a sample slab that CAC helped me with. These students love sample slabs and everyone participated and I thought the talk was great. Thank you to Witter Coins for making me a guest speaker as well as to CAC for getting the slab completed in very short order and most importantly the students and hope they got alot out of the 1 week long class. Going for a coffee drink - Bye for now!
Hope y'all don't mind but it's been a very long week (Why i don't care about pic quality tonight, either) so I'm going to put my spin on this Thread Title and call it Saturday Evening CORONA w Coins... I'll be back to coffee in the morning.
Was able to open my mail after work today and take a look at these three... down to one last release in this series and it's all over..
Back to the “grind” (haha - get it?) on this beautiful SF Bay Area Saturday! While my trip to the WFOM in OKC was brief, it was my first one in 20 years! Here’s my big buy:
This is a VERY RARE Copper 1856 S-1 PR. It’s one of only two known (there’s a third that’s a S-5 formerly in the Simpson collection). I won’t muddy up the thread with the details about this coin; suffice to say back in the day it was thought all these PR FE’s were copper. Time & analysis proved that to be incorrect - most all are of copper nickel composition.
I’ll pause here to take a bow & offer a backpat, fist bump & hand shake to fellow member Matt Chapman (renomedphys) for making this available.
EEPS & CAC. I do have a housekeeping chore to have CAC move the bean so the S-1 is uncovered.
Happy Sat Guys! In honor of the upcoming James Stack auction, I thought I would post his 1901-o (a rare date) This one was originally auctioned off in 1975 for $650.00 bucks! Wish I was there....!
Here's a new purchase. Society of Medalists, "World Unity or Oblivion" by Berthold Nebel in 1945. A striking design of a mushroom cloud in front a sea of bodies haunts the reverse, while an American GI offers water to his wounded comrade on the obverse die.
Happy Saturday to you all

Man, oh man, that is a moose of a coin… what a great pickup!!
My favorite coin from the show, a 35 O-109, came from the early cents auction of the Hall of Fame collection. The coin was from the Birchers collection in previously in George Ramona’s collection. George Ramont sold a lot of his collection to Jules reiver, which is a pretty cool provenance . The true views don’t do it justice. It sat in its original flip for almost 50 years in a safe and has an iridescent blue and Rose toning throughout. The surfaces are flawless
Back from Oklahoma -
Drinking alot of coffee keeping me up. These luster bombs really woke me up in Oklahoma so i brought them home with me. Not in my wheel house but fell in love with them!

Beautiful late summer Saturday morning, cup of Dunkin’ and a CBH from the 50th anniversary of our great country! Doesn’t get any better!
My morning has been busy with considering coins I can hopefully see in hand in two weeks' time...

Having coffee with the latest addition to my Miss Liberty harem.
Does the material give rise to the immaterial, or vice versa?
Good morning collectors!

Great coins this week everyone! This thread never disappoints.
Not much time for coins today, but I did gander at these lovelies this morning.
Glad to be home drinking a nice espresso.
