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!

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