Hi Everyone, Welcome again to our auctions. Times being what they are, it's time to part with my coin collection. I have been collecting since the early 1970's, (really the late 60's). I always bought type coins, primarily for eye appeal. I had a local coin dealer in the town I grew up in, and he and I would negotiate for days about any purchase I made. I know where every single coin came from, as each tells its own unique story. Some were also given to me as gifts, and some were even given to me by a lady on my paper route when I was little. That's a whole separate story, and I'll tell you about it when I list those coins. This is one of the coins from the lady on my paper route. This coin is a truly remarkable, original, and quite lustrous example of a Capped Bust Half. Dated 1833, it is graded by ANACS, (older holder), as MS-61, (O-112). The coin retains FULL original luster, and there are absolutely no defects worthy of mention. There are no nicks or scratches, as the surfaces are incredibly clean, primarily for an MS-61. The coin is most certainly a solid candidate for resubmission, and really should receive a premium attribution for eye-appeal. I promised I'd tell the story of this coin's origin, so here goes. It was the fall of 1973. It was a Sunday, and my dad delivered my papers that day, as I was sick. When he got home, he told me he collected the weekly bill from a few subscribers. Well, among the change was an 1846 Seated Half. Unfortunately, it was quite well worn, but sent a very clear message. This coin was transferred as payment for a newspaper! Well, I later asked the lady if she had any other "old" coins she would be willing to sell. For X-Mas of that year, she gave me a small jewelry box containing approx. 20 coins. Additionally, she gave me 8 velvet pouches, each containing one coin. These "pouch" coins are all solid Unc.'s, and have all been subsequently sent out for certification. She was able to tell me, from memory, every family story related to each individual coin. This particular coin was taken from a bank in Southern NY ca. 1833, to commemorate her grandparents wedding, (she was 95 yrs. young when I first met her in 1972). This coin has been in my possession since that day in 1973, and was sent out for certification in the mid-1990's. In closing, I sincerely thank you for looking at my auction. It is appreciated. Please trust you will be treated with professionalism, courtesy, and respect. And lastly, please check back periodically as I will also be listing the entire contents of my parents' estate. There is over 60 yrs. worth of everything you can imagine, and then some. There are also over 20,000 baseball cards, most of which were opened and set aside. Additionally, there are 10,000 marbles, comic books, Red Line Hot Wheel cars, (56 cars in an original Hot Wheel case), antique tools, jewelry, and much more. Good Luck & Best Regards, Steve
