It is with great pleasure that we release our 400-coin ANA 2026 Pre-Sale! Some of the most fun coins we've ever handled are in this collection. We were lucky enough to buy not one but TWO collections of raw coins for this sale - one a group of delightful circulated Capped Bust halves and the other a life-changing group of high grade Indian and Lincoln cents (among other coins) from a legendary collector named John Gideon Laidacker. John Laidacker lived from 1867-1927 and, among other things, was a station agent for the Pennsylvania Railroad. His work afforded him a nearly unique opportunity to pluck superb coins out of circulation and from fresh bank rolls (and proximity to the Philadelphia Mint probably didn't hurt either). While it was thought that most of his collection was sold at auction in the 1950s, we were recently fortunate enough to acquire a large number of remaining coins from the estate. With that, you can now view the coins. Edited by Phreddy Today 3H 47M ago Report this Post to the Staff

Phreddy New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted Today 3H 35M ago 1898 Indian cent (1c) Laidacker Collection PCGS MS66+ RD CAC An 1898 with all the wattage you could ever hope for - blazing copper color that blankets both sides without a hint of mellowing. The strike is hammered, with every feather tip, diamond, and wreath detail crisply rendered, and the fields carry a smooth, satiny glow that pushes the eye appeal well beyond the typical 66. A well-deserved green bean confirms the quality, and the coin resides in a PCGS Gold Shield holder. Premium Gem quality with the fresh, undisturbed look of a coin set aside the year it was struck. From the Laidacker collection. Report this Post to the Staff
Phreddy New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted Today 3H 31M ago 1900 Indian cent (1c) Laidacker Collection PCGS MS67 RD CAC An incredible 100% red Indian from the turn of the century, with rich copper-orange color that looks as fresh as the day it left Philadelphia. The strike is razor sharp - crisp feather tips, bold diamonds, and a fully defined shield and wreath on the reverse. Surfaces are remarkably smooth and spot-free, with satiny luster spinning over pristine fields. A green CAC sticker confirms the quality of this example, housed in a PCGS Gold Shield holder. Truly outstanding eye appeal at the MS67RD level, from the Laidacker collection. Edited by Phreddy Today 3H 31M ago Report this Post to the Staff
