As you know, prior to the ANA the Norweb 1797 half was purchased - this coin was graded MS65+ at the show and will receive the CAC sticker. Looking forward to seeing it in hand for the very first time.
Also, after being the underbidder at the B&M auction, I was offered the 1794 dollar after the sale and jumped at the chance. It was always my intention to put the coin into a 63+ holder and there it now resides. After the Norweb coin is properly regraded MS64+ then the coins will be their proper one grade apart. They really had no business being in the same numerical holder.
I also purchased an MS64 1855 seated dollar from a dealer's personal collection - the coin crossed the first time through. And the 1858 PR64 seated dollar from the Heritage sale. All in all a very good show!!!

Congrats on the good show!
I am sooooo jealous!
<< <i>TDN, do you have any coins in your collection that the average, middle-income collector could afford?
I am sooooo jealous!
Of course! I've got a great set of chopmarked trade dollars most of which were only a few hundred dollars each .... and somewhere I've got a BU Walker short set in an album.
Now, TDN where are all the pictures of your NewPs?
I had the pleasure of viewing the 1797 Half at the show and had a difficult time handing it back to George. What a coin! Sigh.

<< <i>O am surprised the Norweb 1797 doesn't cost a good % more than the 1794 dollar from B&M sale. Not that there is anything wrong with the dollar but I always thought the two 97 halfs in GEM + were top 50 coins. >>
I was gonna start that thread! The 2 coins cost me exactly the same amount. Seems to me the half was the better deal too

I figured the 97 half would be almost $2M based on the strong recent prices so I too think the half was the better deal. Although the 94 dollar also went for less than i figured, i thought it would be at least $1.5M due to the huge price for the Carter Specimen.
