"When I asked Laura , should I buy the coin, she said "It is a no brainer" so buy it I did."
Does she generally carry inventory she isn't fond of I read through the Legend inventory every few weeks and I've yet to see non glowing reviews on any of the inventory. And rightly so
That Washington-Carver half really does it for me, Bear! And I love the old-time luster on that Standing Liberty Quarter and the Walker as well. Very Nice!
Q: Are You Printing Money? Bernanke: Not Literally
NIce coins. You sure like Walkers alot. I'd be curious if the W/C would cross because the color is so unusual. I'm not 100% sure PCGS would agree the color is NT. If you don't mind saying, where did you find that piece?
You've got some beauties there, Bear. The 1850-O half looks like one I saw and drooled over back around 1973-74. I really wanted to buy it, but it was pricey (for me at that time) at $275. I sure wish I had it now.
Wow Wow Wubbzy as my soon to be 3 year old might say. You have one fantastic eye. I have very few SLQ's in my meager collection. They have always been one of my favorite designs with Liberty. I see so little wrong I am not sure why that is not 67 easy, 67+ but that is why I am the novice I am. Fantastic!
Holy Cow! I've been idle here and ATS for some months now.
And I come back and the "Bear" is showing actual "Pictures" of his Coins on CU!?
When I read the Thread title I was completely startled. Could it be:
"Has dear old Bear gone off the deep end and finally bought himself a DSLR and imaged
his collection his ownself to share with the CU forum?"
Well, it didn't take much reading through the thread to realize that Bear is still the same old Bear.
But after 5 years (for me) of posting and another year of lurking here,
I am finally honored to see some of Bear's holdings!
Congrats Bear! Very nice indeed. Keep sharing those images!
And Stef, KEWL: a superb persentation on your website. Kudos!
Heres to Abe and Stef.
Cheers!

That is one spectacular Booker T. Washington you have there. But it don't really fit in with the rest of your coins so I'll PM you my address and take it off your hands. 1948 was the year I was born and that BTW has fared a whole lot better than I have. Really though you do have a good eye and the collection you are putting together is something else. Good luck on future purchases just as nice, or nicer.

Collect for the love of the hobby, the beauty of the coins, and enjoy the ride.
You are adding coins to this collection so quickly. How long do you intend to keep up the pace? Will you eventually slow down the expansion of the collection?

I like this quote on the Walker:
"When I asked Laura , should I buy the coin, she said "It is a no brainer" so buy it I did."
Does she generally carry inventory she isn't fond of
I knew it would happen.

but I think they all belong in PCGS holders
that the Wash/Carver Half be left in its original holder with the 66+* combo.
A most unusual duo on a most unusual Commem.

is that a jelly smear on the reverse???
in a few days . So, stay tuned in. If you read the deyails on that 1944 Half, you will see that it is
a condition rare date with only three graded MS-67+ and only one higher at MS-68. The 68 sold
for over 100,000 dollars. Thus I believe that the MS-67+ has a lot of room to grow in value.

that it be left with the origimal holder with the + and the *. It is a recommendation that I agree with most
heartily.

are very strong and will only get stronger, as nice original high grade examples
are becoming condition rare. They appear to have an excellent road ahead for
price appreciation and they are truly, a beautiful artistic design.

My 1866 Philly Mint Set
in for upgrade review as soon as I get the time. I do believe the coin should
be graded MS-67 FH if not MS-67+FH. Glad you noticed that. You are not as
much of a novice as you might think.
The coin is really quite spectacular.

but why not pop for a CC in the 90's?

I just wanted to show a MS and a PL for the CC Dollars.
I will give consideration to your suggestion as I think that you
make a lot of sense. Thank you for you insightful recommendation.
PS, I expect some big coins from the Heritage Auction. However, the bids
have been creeping up on me and when the active bidding starts I might
go down in flames. However I have learned my lesson, I calculate my bid
and that bid stands, win or lose. If someone else wants to pay sky money
then so be it.

Your excellent idea of PCGS adding the semi PL designation should be considered.
went up in value $500 to a new level of 4,000. This is an extraordinary rare
coin in the 67+ and 68 grades. That is why it was included in my Estate Collection.
It proves the point, that one must read, study and observe to catch the stars.

<< <i>The 1850-O Liberty Seated Half in PCGS MS-64+ is an interesting coin.
It has all of the characteristics of a true gem. The MS-65 costs close to 15,000
but this wonderful 64+ cost a third of that. The toning is also quite beautiful.
When I saw this coin on the Coin Rarities on Line, I knew right away that this coin
would fit in with all of the higher graded coins. This is a truly rare coin in rather
high grade. It is probably the most perfect example of the new Plus grade for a
MS-64 coin. >>
