<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 685959, member: 8959&quot;]I have just spent a very pleasant hour or so perusing (what an awful, snobbish word) the online Goldberg catalogue of the Dan Holmes sale, and specially the 1793-1804 dates.</p><p><br /></p><p>You have not exxagerated one bit 900! I have never seen anything like that! frankly amazing. An S-266C in MS 65!??!&nbsp; S-103 in superb grade...Just too many to recount, not to speak of the NC&#039;s and the Strawberry wreaths. </p><p>Incredible conditions.&nbsp; A beauty to behold, all. I felt very humble.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I was wondering all along who on earth has the financial means to buy coins like that? I guess they are the so-called whales, captains of industry? Very few if any of us common folk.&nbsp; I also wonder what is the &#039;Dan Holmes&#039; premium eager buyers were forced to pay to possess some of his better coins?</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>In a way it is a pity to see a collection like this dispersed. But that is what inevitably always happens with most great collections.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>(I also had a fun time comparing some of my humble belongings to the Holmes coins of the same variety: there are not enough points on the Sheldon scale to accurately describe the difference. But hey, on one or two I actually came close). </p><p><br /></p><p>Only one word to describe this sale: incredible[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
