A couple of things I received from a friend who is selling his duplicates:

 

They are consigned to auction... can't say where as that would be SPAM !!

 

Nice coins are worth seeing, however !!

 

 

 

 

See... I didn't disappoint - did I ?

Well, over 200,000 hits on this Thread - 1800+ posts ....

 

Even I am amazed its gone on so long.

 

Here are a couple of coins belonging to a friend.

When Gene Gardner retires his Halves, my friend,

SROTAG, slips into the # 2 spot right behind another

good friend, Dr. & Mrs. Peter Shireman 's collection.

A newp [ upgrade for my XF 45 ] that I found last night on a friend's site.

 

 

 

 

 

 

My first set that I ended up selling in 2011 - had an AU 58 as well, it was

a very dark, yet very original coin.

 

PCGS 58:

[moneyhoney]

where and how did you get a magnificent coin like that?

[Elbesaar]

 

Thanks, Gents !

 

The last two newps are from my friend,

Glenn Holsonbake.

Glenn is out of Folsom, CA - near Sacramento.

I have been helping out a friend with his collection and recently

he pulled the trigger on this beauty..

 

He doesn't have the time to post to the Forums, but as I am handling

his coins - sending to TPG's for possible regrades - to CAC for beans -

and his duplicates to auction houses for resale.

 

I spotted this coin in HA - end of auction available coins. He liked it

as well, and now owns it. I have his lower graded coin at PCGS for

a possible regrade.

Secure Plus Images.... All PCGS coins sent in for reholdering - as the plastic was all scratched up ...

 

My only Dime Submission... MS 64.....

 

 

The rest are Halves... many have already been upgraded. Some will stay in the collection ... some will be at FUN for anyone who has interest.

 

 

 

My favorite Halves....

I have been helping out a friend - reviewing his collection - sending coins

back to the TPG for regrade - some coins being sent to CAC for their

approval - some coins being sold off to friends - last night, however

was the first time I had the honor {?} of bidding for my friend in Legend's

Las Vegas auction.

 

I secured a nice group for him, and his collection of Dimes is now complete

with the addition of the 1903-S Dime - PCGS 67 CAC - Ex: Simpson....

 

 

 

The coin is breathtaking.

 

There are another five [5] more Dimes I need to post.

I don't want anything competing with the 03-S images - yet.

Great stuff, Mike. that 03-s is simply stunning.

[Elbesaar]

Thanks... Yes it is an amazing coin.

 

Here are the other five I bought at the auction last night...

Wow.

 

Mike - can I be you for a day (particularly when you buy these gorgeous coins)?

 

In my dreams.......

[Elbesaar]

 

Catbert .... The half dozen coins I bought the other night at the Legend

Auction came to just over $60K. I should be so lucky to be able to buy

those for myself. I was underbidder on the 01-S. I was given a wide latitude

in bidding and did not want to over extend my friend financially.

 

If I had the resources, I'd be putting together a nice Proof collection of Dimes.

I only have a couple in 64+ and they are just beautiful. I'm very fussy about

how they are toned. Not all proofs are as nice as the few I own. The complete

set recently auctioned at Legend opened at $60K, no one bid on it. Talk about

temptation !!!

 

My latest Dime set is a little nicer than my previous sets ... I need to upgrade a couple

to AU 53-58.... But this set has many more gem MS coins than the previous two had.

My Date Set of Dimes are all MS... The more pricier coins are for the most part 55-58's.

The 96-O & 96-S are XF's...as are the 00-O and the 03-S.

 

My friend for whom I have been bidding is the owner of the SROTAG Collection.

You should also check out his Barber Quarters and Halves. He's ranked # 2 on

the 25c & 50c sets. He is # 1 on the Dimes.

 

My enjoyment with his coins is I get to look at them, study them, and decide which ones

should be sent to upgrade ( regrade ) ... Which ones should go to CAC .... Finally, which ones

need to be replaced. The insurance in shipping is enough to choke a horse.

 

More goodies are on their way....FUN has quite a few coins we are after.

 

[No+4Me]

Mike, I'd say you're sittin' in the proverbial catbird seat!

 

look forward to more pics and posts.

Here's a 1907-D in 66:

 

[Elbesaar]

 

Now, that 07-D I would LOVE to see in hand.

I see Elbesaar has been on a rampage again lately...nice coins!

 

Love that 07D too!

[david3142]

Thanks! It's currently my only slabbed Barber coin, but I would love a nice quarter and half to match. Anyone out there with a 65/66 NGC star or equivalent in a PCGS holder? 67s are a little pricey for me.

[david3142]

Now, that 07-D I would LOVE to see in hand.

 

 

Here you go

 

 

Those Simpson dimes were amazing! I would have loved to have been to that auction, and I'm jealous you got to purchase a few of them.

[Elbesaar]

 

David3142:

 

 

I love the coin, but what I meant by saying I'd like to see in "in hand" ,

I meant "MY" hand.....

 

When you have a second, would love to see the Reverse as well.

 

I wish I had been in Las Vegas to examine all the Simpson Dimes.

My friend got some great coins, and I especially liked the 1903-S

which completed his collection.

 

[david3142]

That 1903-S is gorgeous! Sadly, mine only has color on one side. Here is the reverse:
