  1. Nice CBH Jeff. How far are you along now with the set?

     

    Bob: I was looking at the Oregon myself. It was very nice in hand at the lot viewing.

     

    jom

     

    Hmmm...by set do you mean random accumulation of bust halves that strike my fancy from time to time? If so, I'm about half done, assuming I live another 30 years. If you mean date or die marriage set, this one did nothing for me, since I already had an 1809 O-105, but this one was just a bit nicer! lol

  2. I made it to the Stack's Bowers auction this morning and I picked up an addition

    to my 1889 Mint set...

    Yup,

     

    The 1889 Quarter is what I bid on live when I was in Chicago.

    Its in a PCGS 66 holder - and I received an Express Mail box

    this past Friday from Stack's Bowers; I was so anxious to open

    the box, I didn't pay too much attention to the packing slip [ it looked

    odd - and way too long ... but I was more interested in looking at the

    newest addition to my 1889 Mint Set. ]

     

    Well... this is what I found in the box... [ to be continued...]

     

     

     

    That is just crazy! Though I think I just wet myself a little seeing that coin! Love the reaction of the receptionist trying to put you off till you told her what you had and how much you didn't pay for it! lol
