LostDutchman Posted July 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 there are only a handful of these coins known to exist for the whole bust half series.... this is by far the rarest coin I have ever had my hands on.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vfox Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 My guess is he has a safe the size of my car, and probably 10 times as heavy to hide these gems, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedeadpoint Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Awesome coin as noted! I'd love to know the history of that coin - why it was minted and who it was for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostDutchman Posted July 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 ha yes my safe is 6 inch thick steel weighing about 3000lbs bolted into solid concrete.... and it doesn't fit out of my shop door... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 ha yes my safe is 6 inch thick steel weighing about 3000lbs bolted into solid concrete.... and it doesn't fit out of my shop door... hmm.. i'd love to see a blueprint of that and your shop if you don't mind. I'm really curious about the logistics and the set up of your security system... i'm considering setting up my own shop... yes... that's the plan...

Two Kopeiki Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Simply gorgeous Were these minted as "presentation pieces", or regular issue? ~Roman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpnyc Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 I guess its a proof if PCGS says it is but I would have expected a better strike. Stars 6 & 9 are particularly flat and the hair detail is not all there. Still, its a rare piece and should be respected as such. Enjoy it while its still in inventory!

LostDutchman Posted July 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 it is no longer in my inventory From what I have seen about proof bust halves.... some of the stars should be weak and they will have quite a bit of die polish....both of which were present. Sadly this guy was just passing through i was placing it for a friend of mine... so i didnt have it long ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prethen Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Absolutely amazing! Congrats! That's a Proof anyone should be proud to own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
