Just curious--what is Foxfire? I never heard of it. Was it a significant collection?

<< <i>Beautiful! Why do you think the 59-o didn't cac ? >>
Because it hasn't been submitted
As a side note, the 1837 has and received the CAC sticker - it's just not on the holder as pictured. Recently, I downgraded two NGC purchases into PCGS + holders. I will only do that when JA and Laura and I all agree the coin was aggressively graded. When we agree with the grade, we will keep it in the holder - and such is the case with the 1837. PCGS will not cross it, but I don't care.
Outstanding!!!!! Those coins are amazing from an eye appeal standpoint then you add the superb technical quality and you have an unbeatable combination
You might try a toothbrush and some baking soda to get that tarnish off......
I used to be somebody, now I'm just a coin collector. Recipient of the coveted "You Suck" award, April 2009 for cherrypicking a 1833 CBHD LM-5, and April 2022 for a 1835 LM-12, and again in Aug 2012 for picking off a 1952 FS-902.
You call that slowly??? It would take me a year of staring at each of those to even begin to take in their beauty. As I have said before, TDN--what a beautiful collection and thank you for sharing it with us. As are all of your coins, the 1797 is sooooooo beautiful!!! Jim

Nope. Laura wanted me to buy it, but I just couldn't see paying $100k+ for a MS coin when an equivalent PR could be added for $20k. Not for a mixed type set.

It was a type set that broke up 5 or 6 years ago. I don't believe it was near the quality of the Knoxville Collection, however.

Just curious, what year is it?

Those are outtasite.
<< <i>I think TDN will agree the 1806 image does not do it justice.... >>
Hard to believe it could look any better.
All three, die cracked and amazing!
Words escape me.

Do you have larger pictures of it by chance?
Thanks for sharing them.

If you decide to include a Barber half in the type set, don't call me. The micro-o is not for sale

Hope you don't mind me posting it TDN.
Congrats again on a beautiful type set!!!!
Why is that 1827 not a 67? Only thing I see is a mark under the wing and some weakness in a couple of the stars.
Damn that thing is gorgeous.
Simply amazing
