This collection is so far beyond me that I can't even really be interested in it. I am too excluded from it as a collector. That's just how I feel anyway.
Darth Morgan, I know what you mean as far as looking a these from a collector's point of view. I pretty much look at these coins like I would works of art. I look at them the way I might look at the Mona Lisa, or The Sistine Chapel. Only in this case it's something that I already have a strong passion for... coins.

They have been putting the collection together for awhile, yes they do copper, not sure how long though, they do include some coins purchased at the Goldberg's Missouri Half Cent Cabinet sale last year. I don't think they were looking for complete date sets, more type collecting the very best along with ultra rarities as they came available (They have 2 1804 dollars, one is the finest known, both are Class 1, so not looking at variety collecting either).

Just ordered the books that westcoin linked to above, can't wait to get them. I saw some of the coins on display at the Portland ANA show and they are without a doubt the most beautiful coins I have ever seen.
