That 1811 looks like a way PQ VF.....nice!

tradedollarnut · November 29, 2003 5:59AM

Super looking coins.

Please be aware that, the last time I checked, Trends was grossly overstated for $5 gold. But that was more for the unc coins.

wingedliberty · November 29, 2003 6:09AM

oh, I hope you got a good interest rate on that $100,000 home equity line of credit.

Mind boggling purchases. Congradulations. Its a priveledge to own one of kind coins.

Louis · November 29, 2003 6:15AM

WOW

We need an emoticon for envy.

Louis · November 29, 2003 6:16AM

Lots of green labels too.

wingedliberty · November 29, 2003 6:21AM

I just snapped out of it. I was transfixed by the 1811 $5

RYK · November 29, 2003 6:23AM

Dude,

Tremendous haul! They all look terrific. The 1811, in particular, looks like a sure-thing upgrade. Congratulations!

To quote Darth Vader. "Impressive, most impressive"

LanLord · November 29, 2003 6:26AM

Feeling around to find my eyes, which by the way, just popped out of their sockets!

Nice haul.

wingedliberty · November 29, 2003 6:28AM

The only thing thats really dangerous about coins like these is that you can literally STARE at them ALL day.

RYK · November 29, 2003 6:32AM

Brian,

I have subscribed to the thread, so I can go back whenever I want to! Awesome coins!

One collecting strategy, rather than a full date run or series run or some of everything, is to go small. Like a single PCGS box of 20 coins. These are the type of coins that you would expect to see amongst the 20. Johnny can add his two other goldies to the mix and be one-third complete with a great collection.

DaveG · November 29, 2003 6:34AM

What, no Frankies, no accent hair Kennedies, no Lincoln Memorial cents?

What kind of weird old coins are those?

Nice Haul!! Nice Coins!!

How can you ever top them?

wingedliberty · November 29, 2003 6:36AM

RYK:
All good suggestions.

trozau · November 29, 2003 6:47AM

Shake, shake, shake.
Shake, shake, shake.
Shake your bootie.

XpipedreamR · November 29, 2003 7:11AM

Holy cow!

I'm on dial-up today, and they just kept a-comin'. As soon as I thought it was done, another one would pop up.

That's some old gold. Very nice. I think my favorites are...all of them!

jonesy · November 29, 2003 10:01AM

Those Babies are SWEET!!!

Dahlonega · November 29, 2003 10:09AM

Sweet ! But even though they'll probably upgrade I wouldn't lose the holder...these are the kind of coins that sell to knowledgable collectors. I predict if you put these out at a regional or major coin show anywhere near market price and they would be gone in a couple of hours [or less]. But how would you replace them...these look like keepers. Please tell us the story how you discovered them.
