What a blast

Hi everyone. Got home late last night from the ANA Money Show in Atlanta. What an amazing show. I was there too display my Lincoln Memorial registry set for the 1st time in a competitive display and I received a 3rd place ribbon in the historical and political category. I was very pleased. I learned a lot from this show. One thing for sure it is not the value of your display but how it is presented so that the general public can walk in and understand what you are displaying. You can tell that folks spend a lot of thought and time on how they convey their message. The displays were incredible. I will certainly try again. I am sure by now most of you have heard about the California couple who found a large hoard of gold coins while out walking their dog on their property. A large portion of this find was sent into PCGS for certification and this is just one picture of what is now being referred too as the Saddle Ridge Hoard. It is an 1876 S $20 gold piece graded MS64. I believe PCGS has only graded 3 at this level with 1 graded higher. Pretty amazing. Without the historical connection this coin list for $41,000. The coins ranged in date from the late 1840s through the late 1890s and look as if they were stored as soon as they came from the bank. WOW.. They had some $20 gold pieces that I saw graded MS66. It was a fun time in Atlanta and I look forward too going again. I hope you enjoy the picture and as always, thanks for looking and Happy Collecting
