Thank you Legend Numismatics

As most of you are aware Legend Numismatics has purchased my toned Morgan Dollar collection and plans to exhibit some of the coins at the upcoming Baltimore Show. I hope that those of you with an interest in seeing the coins will stop by for a look and later post your impressions on the forum. I'm still very proud of the years of effort it took to assemble my collection and would be pleased to hear what some of my fellow collectors think.

I'd also like to thank George Huang and Laura for making the pilgrimage to S. Louisiana to view my collection.....not an easy trip to make during the middle of Mardi Gras. The showing of my collection, the discussions, the negotiations were everything that I expected them to be. I've known George and Laura for many years and found them both to be knowledgeable, very fair, and most importantly, strong buyers of the right material. They did not disappoint.

There is one correction however I'd like to make to Legend's press release. My extensive GSA collection is basically still intact and remains in my possession. Aspen Rare Coins and I were not able to come to terms on the purchase of this portion of my collection and I opted to continue to own it. I did let Doug Sharpe buy a handfull of GSA coins just so he'd not return home empty-handed. Perhaps some day in the near-future I'll venture into the sales market once again with my GSA collection.

Thanks again Legend and Aspen for a pleasurable experience.

    Excellent. I was afraid you were out of the GSA field for good. Nice to know you've got some reserves in your arsenal!

    Wondering if you had an image or two to share with us here on the boards? I don't think I've ever seen you post any images before

    It has always been a delight to see your coins and meet up with you at shows, so I will make a point of stopping by Laura's table early and often during the show.

    I've seen the ones in Capital plastic holders. The 78 CC's are great. End roll if I recall and looked like glass? Congratulations to the OP, sorry none to the buyer. image

    Laura was kind enough to show me three of these coins at the recent PCGS Show. All three were in PCGS holders and each were bag toners of the highest order. The 82-S I saw literally took my breath away. Before I could ask, she cut me off at the pass and said that they were not for sale. I had my checkbook pulled out and sheeplessly put it away. Stunning coins................

    I posted this in another thread but it belongs here as well as I got to see a few of these on Friday.............Well done Bryan, well done indeed. MJ

    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    Byan:

    It's very thoughtful and gracious of you to share this information. Thank you.
    And congratulations again on the sale of your toners. Are you going to change collecting gears, or do you have some big game in mind?
    When in doubt, don't.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    Saw alot of these coins a few years ago, they are world class. Bryan has a great eye for picking the very best.

    Edited: meant to send a PM.

    Look forward to seeing these coins in Balty!
    Some refer to overgraded slabs as Coffins. I like to think of them as Happy Coins.
