Ever read a Coin Article featuring one of your very own coins?

I was reading another awesome article by Greg Reynolds today, and suddenly I see a coin that looks very familiar. I did a double take, and sure enough, its a coin in my Type set that I currently own!

I can't tell you how much of a smile that gave me, I even ran and told the wife.

Besides seeing my coin (so you'll see how famous I am ), its a really good article worth reading.

Here's the coin in question:




Has this ever happened to you?

 

Cool!

Yes, that happened to me once. I used to enjoy reading the Antique Sage blog.

I once stumbled across a spotlight article they did on a piece which I had bought not long before.

This beautiful 1848 French pattern was PCGS SP65 RB. I wish I still had it.

 

There used to be an article about the 1806 O-129 50c discovery coin, which I used to own, but that article no longer exists online, so I retold that story in a post here.

This was my "one that got away". I acquired it for about $40 worth of stuff, sold it for $75, then later watched it get discovered as a new die combination and later sell for four figures. Another was later discovered, so there are two known.

 

That is a stunner!

 

Definitely! Well done.
