jtryka Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 I recently got back from a trip to NYC for a couple days, and as we were walking from one meeting to another, what should we pass, but Augustus Saint-Gaudens giant golden statue of winged victory in the park (this was the model for the double eagle obverse), then I was at the next meeting and it was right across the street from Stacks (near Carnegie Hall) but I didn't have time to go in, just saw some coins in the window that were very nice! All in all, a good trip with some nice surprises! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hiho Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 I walked past Stack's just the other day and did some window shopping as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dockwalliper Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 I'm making my first visit to the Big Apple next week. Not sure what I'll have time to see. Lived in NY my whole life...never been to NYC. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiho Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 I'm making my first visit to the Big Apple next week. Not sure what I'll have time to see. Lived in NY my whole life...never been to NYC. :/ I have lived and worked in NYC all my life and yet I have only been to Buffalo (near Tonawanda) once. (It's an eight hour drive!) And my trip involved a very pretty blonde during my college days so I had major incentive... Dockwalliper, try and visit Stack's if only to check out their window display. It's always pretty impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Charlie Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 I live on the opposite end of the united states, so tough luck for me I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtryka Posted July 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Well Doc, when you go, make sure you see the Sherman statue, it's on 59th on the southeast corner of central park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
