Can we expect to see any of this action in the unfocused set you're building?

    The recent heritage example commanded over $100k! The piece is cool, but that is some serious loot for a token. Just think of all the interesting colonials you could buy for that amount.

    I missed this thread until now.

    While I like and appreciate Albany Church Pennies, I agree with DCW's assassment. If I were going to spend that much on a colonial, it would probably be a Higley Copper or a high grade piece of Massachusetts silver.

    If you were going to spend that much on this colonial I would be the first to say that your mid life crisis was still in full swing.

    Ha! Well, I sold my candy apple red Mustang convertible so I suppose my mid life crisis is at least evolving!

    Isn't it amazing what being listed in the Redbook can do to price?

    There are some issues that do not belong in a core collection of US coins, and, IMO, this is one.
