Next time sell the 1942 to me in an old ngc no line fatty holder for favor, what a dam shame. The white on blue is stunning and the gold sticka is the icing on the cake.
Update if anyone cares also found this example and another one that was sold in June 29, 1991 in the Presidential Coin & Antique Co auction named Auction 50. This is where The Chamber of Commerce of the State of New York was the consignor and so…
just as I have gotten the cac sticker on most of the coins in my collection, have CAC's new slabs house my old slabs would be a tremendous bonus. Having old slabs, coins that were conservatively graded and encased for 30+ years so no coin doctor got…
Thank you for not listing D.L. Hansen or Teich Family, LOL.
Welcome back! While many collectors don’t care for a Hansen pedigree, I welcome them in my collection. Unarguably, he has the highest grade broadest collection ever put together!
Hans…
Never always, that is like flying blind. I love Valentine, Garrett, Bareford, Lovejoy, Zabriskie, Bass and Eliasberg and if the coin matches what I perceive their pedigree represents is superb quality then I go for it. Its an honor to be the next c…
I am trying to confirm that the size of this medal, being 6" may end up being the largest classic U.S. medal made not counting the modern large size medals of today. Maybe some on the board here could shed some light on this.
I don't mind educated guesses, that is a learned opinion that we expect, its the essence of grading. When has grading been certainties just an opinion, hopefully learned one. I understand that there are fewer original examples than non original, and…
When I have spoken to numerous numismatists or read various works or even spoken to you I have been told repeatedly when the coin was "absolutely natural toning with original surfaces". I am asking the TPG to state that on the label somehow making …
If you search ‘Robert Anderson Medal’ at https://collections.si.edu/search it suggests they have one or two medals that may be the same, or different, and a book discussing the medal presented by New York.
Thanks for the help with investigating th…
No, I've never seen, and I have never had a chance to acquire the Fort Sumter in bronze, which is my metal of choice for medals.
I know that the silver medals are rarer and more valuable, but I'll take the bronze medal over them for eye appeal whe…
This is one of my issues with the hobby. Many appear to need or depend on the tpg's to blessing affirm that they own an actual variety. But what we need to remember is that what a TPG's says doesn't truly matter because we should be buying the coin …
I personally do not like clear or tinted slabs, they look cheap and/or very similar to now defunct brands. Gold, silver, copper and the other allows used look excellent with contrast, therefore white or black slabs look best to my eyes, they make th…
otherwise a full burial and a partial waste of paper. Where they is some good info enclosed in those binders trying to figure out what is fact vs fiction can be as arduous as picking it up and opening.
Update:
My theory that there has to be 2 examples could be becoming a reality. A NGC MS66 BN PL
Update, after trying to find the whereabouts of the above medal I was fortunate to find him and it and purchases it. It is pretty stunning to say…
But what he said ( paraphrasing here) was that. This was a total lie and he was offended at the accusation. He clarified that Hansen buys huge deals all the time to get at certain coins. Many of the coins never end up in his sets for obvious reasons…
@Realone , while I can’t prove it, I believe you’re wrong when you state that DLRC will buy a coin, and then immediately get it reholdered with the Hansen label to then sell right away, with as you say the loophole that since Hansen is part owner, i…
