This took awhile to pull together, but it was worth it - Doug Winter acted as the judge for this whist match that took place at the January FUN show. Video posted at https://youtube.com/watch?v=XgIVPRPcgK8.

    The video was produced by Lianna Spurrier of https://rectanglecoins.com/ - she is an awesome numismatist doing some excellent ongoing research on Japanese gold. She is a woman of many talents!

    Outstanding! Kudos to all involved. Very entertaining 40 minutes.

    I was an active participant in the Fairmont auctions. Thankfully, I did not have to compete against you studs. I stayed focused on the S-mint 10s.

  • Being a student of original old gold I've followed DW closely over the years trying to find coins that exhibit traits he notes all the time. This video stands out for that reason alone and the pop-out images are outstanding so you can learn a lot about originality from this. Also a big fan of O-mint gold as I've got several of them in the short date set of later eagles, even if only in the 'widget' category. One of my best upgrades was in fact a MS-61 1892 0 purchased in the old ANACS white holder that now resides in a PG MS-62 and deservedly so. Thanks @Coinosaurus for posting.
