I wish! Only the True View ones are mine [except the 51 & 52 - I sold those].

Wow! But I think I would have kept the 1851 and 1852 Seated dollars.

Amon used TrueView for his coins? Pretty incredible.

I am not certain of this, but there is a fair chance that Amon inherited many of his dollars from his father, Amon, Sr.

As I remember, Amon's main numismatic interest was currency.

Regardless, whether Amon, Jr. selected these or inherited them, the Carter collection will stand forever as a great collection of dollars.

Amon G. Carter and Fort Worth, Texas......"Where the West begins."

Nice dollars, btw. Much nicer than the Prezzies.

BTW, did Carter purchase any of these fine dollars through Mehl?

Yes - I have a copy of the 1947 invoice for my 1838 Gobrecht. Also on the same invoice are the 1794, the 1801-1803 proofs, the other gobrechts and the 1843 proof set.

Yikes! I would hate to have to write the check for that invoice today.
