[QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 26649516, member: 73489"]It was a pretty good talk, but it could have been tighter with more focus. I think you got a dealer's/salesman's perspective -- which isn't bad -- but not a numismatists or historian's perspective, like JohnMilton did on $5 Half Eagles. I'm working on such a presentation on Saint-Gaudens (may or may not expand it to include Liberty Heads) and might present it in the future at FUN. If you are going to do a presentation like this, I think you need to hit all the books, archived auction details, and discussions online to get a proper perspective. That way, you give the audience what they want. Leaving the talk, I think many had more questions then when they came in.:D That's GOOD in that their appetite was stimulated, but a tighter focus with more factual tidbits would have satiated that appetite in part.[/QUOTE]
