<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 2490811, member: 74282&quot;]I&#039;m not sure how he bought coins at shows, but he was certainly cognizant of what he had when it came to auctions. My copy of CNG 43 is from RBW&#039;s library and has all kinds of annotations like the one below that I scanned because I now own the coin it refers to:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]527112[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>From what I can tell, the H1(F) refers to &quot;I have 1 in Fine condition&quot;. Some have annotations such as &quot;better centered&quot;, &quot;need&quot;, &quot;var?&quot;, etc. He bid on quite a few lots in the sale but the ones he didn&#039;t tended to be one where his notes indicated he had an equal or better example. One of these days I intend to reach out to CNG to see if they&#039;d allow me to scan and upload the entire RR section of the catalog because the notes are an interesting view into how a big name collector formed his collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
