    I'm not sure of the "proper procedures" but...I think this may qualify as a "You Suck", would it not?

    Wow...what an awesome haul.

    Love the 1922 Studebaker ribbon and the Chrysler Airflow token especially, but there is a lot of great stuff there overall.

    I would not say you bought a collection...I would say you bought a musuem!

    not being nosey, but just curious



    how do you place a price on a significant collection in enough boxes to fill the back of your car?
    especially since if you actually inventoried the stuff, it would take someone -? 20 hrs, 40 hrs, 100hrs?

    and if you are buying, how do you decide if it is a fair price?

    Coin dealers probably get something like this occasionally (not Chicago fair, but boxes of coin stuff)

    Quite an assemblage! Congrats on the purchase of what surely is a "mother lode" -- "load" brings something else to mind entirely.

    Unbelievable. Congratulations on the purchase. I could look at pics of the collection all day. I hope you get a chance to post more, even the "junk".

    Interesting additions... more of an accumulation than a collection, but still nice to sift through...

    I love the Saint-Gaudens obverse/Barber reverse SCD, HK-223, Eglit-19, the ones that started the whole feud between the Saint and Barber. I had one with the award portion covered by a little metal panel, never saw one like it before. COOL, COOL, COOL COLLECTION!
