From last night's Heritage sale
1852-O with 'milk spots", in '63, $126,500, wow...
1841 in '64, $12,650...
1886 in ''66, $13,800...
Tough dates to be sure, esp. the '52-O

I watched the auction "Live" and saw that 1852-O go nuts.
It was also the first auction I watched; very interesting.
I didn't win the one coin I bid on because I had already upped
my bid to beyond what I thought it would sell for.

Coin collecting is not a hobby, it's an obsession !

be the one. I've never seen a decent unc of that date, even a 61.

be the one. I've never seen a decent unc of that date, even a 61.

I've a friend who saw the coin in hand... as I didn't, I can't say for certainty that it is that coin, but the 'milk spots" in the description may give you a clue. And yes, certainly a really tough date, but 126K (if I had it for coins right now) could surely find a whole bunch of much nicer stuff, just MHO of course...

Thanks for the b'day greetings, had a nice dinner that evening with my wife and daughter and the inlaws at the local Roadhouse...
Nope, wasn't able to buy a thing, wanted the 1836 Bust Quarter but was outbid, the 1841 Seated Q. was also a neat coin, was told by a freind who looked at it that it was nice, but not really my cup of tea as I'm not really a fan of brilliant 1840's vintage quarters, although I was told the luster was exceptional. Not too many years ago George H. and "she who cannot be named" had an outstanding original 1841 that I wish i had pulled the trigger on for ~10k, and it was a 65, I believe in an NGC holder if memory serves...
Only things I have bought lately were a few generic $20. Libs in '63 and of all things an Indian half eagle off Teletrade the other night, a 1914-D in '62 in a PCGS holder (I like that date) which hasn't arrived yet, I hope it's half decent. Did you fare any better in last night's auction?

Except you and me of course, though sometimes I'm not so sure about you.

The only ones crazier are those seated dime collectors...
