A coin I have wanted since my beginnings as a collector.

Friends and Society;

Well Sunday is my day of rest and a peaceful day to do all the research I need to make the greatest purchase this Saturday that I could imagine. I have been fishing in new areas for coins and received a e-mail this week for a few rare coins. The seller must have quite the collection to offer such rarities.

The first coin on the list is 1909s VDB AU53 which had a generous price. I recently purchased a 1909 VDB MS64 from a friend in the Society but this 1909s was not the jaw drop in the e-mail. As I went on through the list there was the KING====1893s XF45 Morgan Dollar.

Now the list explains that the coins are certified but has no verification as to who certified them. I plan to call early this week and talk to the owner and if all sounds well I will make the trip Saturday for the purchase. For today my hopes are high that the coin is genuine with a good certified company. However I have gone through the authentication lists and found a ANACS article to be very helpful in making a final decision on the purchase.

This would truly be "THE ULTIMATE COIN of MY COLLECTION".

HAPPY COIN COLLECTING
