Was randomly researching about Gobrecht dollar and found one on ebay. Turns out seller must have come across an amazing collection or selling their personal collection over the years... I have no relation to the seller. https://www.ebay.com/sch/11116/i.ht...collectiblesWouldn't hurt to see the sold coins too. Just thought the coins in the albums look amazing. Can't imagine what whole collection looked like in the albums... WOW!!! |

A lot of holes in that collection!  Although there are a lot of rare dates/mms, I don't think I saw a single coin without problems. IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Some of their photos are coins still in the Dansco albums.

I think many of the holed coins are quite scarce in any condition.
There must have been some rare coin albums - I'm sure it's not Dansco!

I'm not terribly impressed. Nearly all of the coins have problems of one form or another, with an emphasis on holed coins.

That collector was definitely a hole filler.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Now THAT is a nice one Hondo - maybe that collector would want to add it to their collection.
