The longer I live the more convincing proofs I see of this truth, that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice is it possible for an empire to rise without His aid? Benjamin Franklin
And Ken, I can tell you for sure, the images do not do those beauties justice. Especially with the Eliasberg coin, but with so, so many coins that tend to show up in @drddm Dave's boxes of "show and tell", the words "Holy f****** cr**" try to escape your lips, regularly.

@drddm Glad you got those beauties, they are in good hands. That 1807 is a looker to me!! Hope to see some of your new highlights at the corn roast.

Thanks!
I’d be happy to bring some to the corn roast. Feel free to PM me which ones you’d like to check out.
I don't really collect halves, but here are my 20th century type examples...
Newbie collector of type and circulated Peace dollars, photographer of places and animals, player of instruments and builder of amplifiers, espresso industry professional, and a person distracted by shiny objects.
This will likely be it for me for 2026 buying wise. I am glad I sold some of my Latin American coins otherwise would not have been able to purchase these key date this year (they are rarer in lower grades but rare in general). I collect the series in G to F grades so try to get that as well if in details grades.
