Yes eye candy for sure. Anyone have a feeling why that Daniel Morgan medal brought in so much? It is gorgeous to be sure, but is there much of a market for those things? Out of my swim lane, so just trying to learn here.

I can afford these! If they let me pay $10 a month with no interest. I would pay it off in 10,000 years. I'm good for it, really! Just let me have the coin first ;-)

CarrsCoins: Thanks so much for the link on the Daniel Morgan at Cowpens Medal story. I'm sure that just made JK's whole year if not decade, finding that one in a box-O-stuff. I've heard him tell some pretty crazy discovery stories online and in person, like the 1795 time capsule from Massachusetts State house cornerstone "Sam Adams and Paul Revere items" https://nnp.wustl.edu/library/book/540239and his story of the broke guy living in a house with no roof (only a tarp over it) digging up a 1792 Half Disme in his tomato garden in New Jersey. https://nnp.wustl.edu/library/book/560149 Go to around 10:22 in and watch from there, but the whole video is great. John goes on to tell some real doozies of the crazy stories on that 2005 EAC talk along with Mark Borckardt. The fact the 1839 medal, in gold, a fairly soft metal, survived in such lofty condition as a SP63. Though it wasn't buried as suspected and it showed up in the original mint case wrapped in tissue paper helped I'm sure. "A wild find and real history!"

Not sure why someone would drop $1M+ on a Liberty Head or Saint Gaudens Double Eagle. Sure, the 1927-D it's a key date but so what? A 1924 Saint Gaudens in MS66 is beautiful as well and doesn't cost a crazy amount of money.
