1795 Liberty Cap S-77 VF reed edge:

Trying to find out more information on a coin my late father had in his collection of coins. This unit he said is a one of one coin. We are currently going through the estate of his and this coin is in a bank safe. Are next steep is to get it graded. I know that the S-79 is very rare but have not found any information on a S-77 coin.

Yes I'd love to see that coin!

 

Yeah it's safe . Just convert to jpeg .

 

Wow big Coin. Nice too.

 

I'm in love again!!! (Congratulations Phillip R on an amazing coin, I wish I had any information other than I'm drooling on my keyboard at the picture)

 

Your dad was Richard Runion, EAC 5144. He showed his coin to other EAC'ers at the July 2006 Baltimore show and that meeting was written up in the September 2006 Penny-Wise (pages 213-214) with mention and picture of your dad's coin. I would like to dialogue with you and make some suggestions. Please contact me by [private message].

Enjoyed your post. Your father's star is still shinning brightly!

 

He was a coin nut just never realized until now how involved he was with old coins.

 

He left you in charge keep the fever going. You are very fortunate to have such a great head start, good luck. Be safe

 

Its a very rare special coin and you deserve to have it never head of this person?is he well know?

 

Did you know my dad?

 

OK moderator, please *YOU* contact Philip and give him my contact. I can help him more than anybody else on this forum -- and I will be happy to keep you in the loop.

 

No, Philip, I did not know your dad personally. But I was Treasurer of EAC for 37 years and knew him by name. If the Moderator will give you my (redacted) email address, we can dialogue privately.

 

Not sure how to private you John.
