  That's basically my thoughts (to the extent that I can think while looking at the catalog), but the words I'd want to use are censored here.

  I don't know if I'm TOTALLY GOB-SMACKED, or not, but it is a
  great catalog and nice research material.

  I was pretty impressed too, I love the format they used to feature the two collection in the one volume. Don't tell anyone but I might have to bid on a couple of clips from those collections.

  P.S.: No disrespect to the current auction, but I still think the standard bearer for error large cents was the Michael Arconti collection, that catalog is worth finding if you can.

  Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

  Tossed mine into the waiting room at work - will have to retrieve it tomorrow to see what I'm missing.

  Yeah I saw a couple I really liked, but was more so impressed with the layout of the catalog.

  BS, I agree, when I got mine, I thought the same thing - what amazing errors! And it's a great catalogue, as well as a wonderful resource!!!

  I'm curious if you put the catalog face up on your mahagony side-table (next to your overstuffed chair) with the Davy cover showing, or the Holmes cover showing. I will reserve my response until I hear from others.

  Obviously you need to break out the rotating turntable so you can display it vertically under the glass dome......
