    what would a super key, slightly cleaned F30 in Baby Busts bring?

    I guess the question is, how many players ?

    Who currently owns the two known pieces? Does Mr.HalfDime have one?
    Want to buy an auction catalog for the William Hesslein Sale (December 2, 1926). Thanks to all those who have helped us obtain the others!!!

    a sharp-eyed consignor will reap the reward

    one in the Southwest and one in the Southeast. MrH10C doesn't have one as far as I know

    good question on price. I'll just say "we shall see"

    As far as how many players, I am sure there are at least a dozen people who need one and may want one badly enough to crack out their checkbooks. As for how many people will be battling it out at the end of the auction, my guess is three to five.

    Hmmmmmmmmm.

    I guess I'd better start saving some of my allowance.

    Maybe I could keep the bidding down by announcing that an original bank wrapped roll of them was found in my grandfather's collection..... image

    The JR Newsletter is really nice...I'd like to see the EAC and NBS move to a similar online format for their weekly electronic newsletters.

    Seems like this is the third one found since 2007 I believe, probably wont be an R8 forever!

    this is the third one known. When #4 is found, it will become R-7. UtahCoin will likely find #4 image

    What if the 4th one were to be a lets say AG raw piece, does that count in the pop? >>

    Of course

    any 1835 LM-12 is currently a valuable coin. A holed, cleaned, scratched, rim-dinged example would bring serious bids into four figures, IMO
