@1cent good luck with that strategy, you can get hung out to dry by the veteran dealers trying that stuff.

The price I'm willing to pay on some of the items is at least what dealers could hope to get selling the stuff retail. I don't see dealers paying selling price for the stuff I'm looking at, but I guess we will see.

 with 1cent. I'm a collector and I'm prepared to go pretty deep for the items I'm interested in, which is well beyond what any business-minded dealer would likely bid. As an aside, are there any social events being coordinated that could be shared on the forum for the benefit of those attending the auction sales?

Dealers will have to play a major role here.
I don't know of any collector who wants or needs 5 or 10 or a dozen of the same date high gem state cent...do you..?

I agree that dealers will play a role, but because of the mass dump of goods into the market, I think collectors will play a role as well. As a collector, I don't proactively want/need multiples of the same date high grade coin, but I'm sure there are a number of high end collectors that will be coming out of the woodwork specifically for this series of auctions where collectively their desires could be equal to or greater than the supply being offered of any given date/denomination of coin. One way or another, this will be one heckuva sale!

Anyone care to guess what the 1893 Round Top will sell for?  |

This auction really looks like a game-changer for the high-end large cents. For example, the ICCS population for MS66 of 1899 in 2013 is only one. Add the 15 MS66's in the Landon auction and you get 16 as the minimum new total. Looks like they made allowances for the higher pops in the estimate for these coins. Does anyone know if this is the entire collection and that there are no more coins forthcoming?

Had a chance to check out some of the Landon collection pieces at the FUN show in Orlando. Some really nice MS-67 large cents. Absolutely stunning.

DEVLEC, no doubt lots like the 1935 and 1936 MS-65 dollars will be the domain of dealers, but some of the smaller mixed date and mixed grade lots will hopefully get snapped up by collectors. Looking back through old auction catalogs, I realized I had paid anywhere from 50% to hundreds of percent markups on resold auction coins, and this time I'm trying to aggressively target items that might otherwise go for a fraction of Trends. I'm not doing this to resell items, I'm looking at items I personally want to own.

Many of those copper coins look as if they were just minted yesterday, yet, they are over 100+ years old. I wonder how were they stored after all these years by Landon, and the family.
