    Those are 2 nice sets. I would love to own one or the other. The market will have to tank 95 percent for that to happen though.

    The values of OÕNealÕs Indian Half Eagles have been enhanced as a consequence of being in his great collection. Coins that are part of named, great collections will tend to, all other factors being equal, command higher prices than coins that are sold quietly or anonymously." >>



    Thanks Realone as now I recall reading a few page spread in a copy of Heritages magazine on Mr. O'Neal... he's just a few years past being a YN! image

    At least 5 of the coins are from the Kutasi collection and another 6 from the Morse collection. Would this qualify as in a jiffy?

    You are wrong. It says Jim is a YN, right there on his Registry Set! image

    Actually, I've just about spent all I have on Newp's this past week!!!
    Some of these purchases were on purpose for upgrades, while the others happened to be low bids I didn't expect to win, but I did!

    As for O'Neal and Friend coins, I will enjoy watching these hit the auction block at my first FUN show.

    When I saw this list, my first thought was that these prices reflected condition rarity and registry madness. But after taking a closer look at the PCGS price guide, I guess that's not the case. Many of these are expensive in much lower grades.

    Regardless, I think $10 Indians are very cool.

    I thought the OP's opening statement was referring to the coming Depression, but that's another topic (and forum!!).
