A few of my favorite coins from the recently concluded Heritage FUN sale...

[MarkFeld]

I viewed (or, in many cases, breezed through) approximately 3500 lots in Dallas a couple of weeks ago and ended up bidding on roughly 100 coins. Although I did not buy any of the ones below, each of them stood out as among the most impressive and/or beautiful to me. Based on the prices realized, apparently other bidders liked them quite a bit, as well!

 

For some reason, recently, I have not been able to post images of Heritage auction coins like I used to be able to do, so I have provided links, instead:

 

1855 Proof Large Cent

 

1800 Draped Bust Half Dime

 

1827 Capped Bust Dime

 

1876 Seated Liberty Quarter

 

1821 Capped Bust Half dollar

Word is the purchaser of the 1821 half believes it to be a proof - I can see why.

$80,500 for that Half Dime. All are very nice coins indeed Mark.

I heard a rumor to that effect, but must disagree with that assessment. As impressive looking as it was, it sure didn't look like a Proof to me. By the way, I was the under-bidder on the 1876 Quarter that I linked and I heard another rumor that Lady Legend bought it.

Those are some amazing coins - and they are bringing pretty amazing prices as well!

[mommam17]

i luv the 1800 half dime

[MBA101]

I was with Mike King about him going for that 1821, for he needs one...that is one spectacular bustie, that is for sure!

[BOILER78]

The 1821 half was a stunning coin but no way it's a proof. The coin was one of my favorite "regular issue" coins in the sale as well.

I wish I could afford that 1876 quarter...great coins with great prices

[leeg]

They all have superb Eye Appeal!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree. I was watching the 1870 proof coins but they all got out of my price range rather quickly.

RANK 1 is not good enough for you

 

Yeah I Know I do the same thing

[jgrinz]

I love the Proof Cent but the pictures look somewhat FAKE (colouring). I bet knowing MARK this coin is probably fabulous in hand!

 

 

[rrantique]

All great coins thanks for posting em Mark. (thumbs u

[Tradedollarnut]

This looks to be perfectly natural red/brown to me. Yum!

[CarolinaCollector]

Each of these are really nice coins. Nice selections, Mark!

[MikeKing]

pretty kaleidoscopic junk...bah...humbug!

[majorbigtime-migration]

Nice coins--big buck$

[bigmoose-migration]

Mark, I also viewed the 1855 Proof Large Cent--it looks spectacular in person, but it does have an unnatural blue coloration, in my opinion, especially on the reverse. TomT.

[MikeInFL]

A proof large cent would be my dream coin.

That bust half is amazing too.

[michael]

thanks tomt this is why i changed my post to only the 1800 half dime
