<p>[QUOTE=&quot;princeofwaldo, post: 1580699, member: 24091&quot;]YES!!!!!!!!!&nbsp; How very true, and especially true of Eliasberg Sr&#039;s collection of world coins, almost all of them overgraded and very few really even in the middle of the pack based on availability.&nbsp; All sorts of AU58 coins that belong in AU53 holders, and then they aren&#039;t even rare coins to begin with.&nbsp; Especially the South American gold coins from his collection.&nbsp; Was almost as if he began collecting these coins as an after-thought, and having already completed the worlds only complete set of US coins, he somehow didn&#039;t have the heart to really chase after the very best when assembling the world collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is, however, one pedigree which I have a great deal of respect for, and that would be John J. Pittman.&nbsp; To my way of thinking, he was far bigger a legend than Eliasberg if only because of his much more limited income.&nbsp; Owning a coin or two from his collection is a real pleasure.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
