<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KBBPLL, post: 8204946, member: 104064&quot;]Did anyone else pick up something from the John McCloskey collection, last Sunday or the previous January FUN auction? I&#039;ve never bought anything before based on pedigree, but I felt an affinity for Mr. McCloskey from my Barber dime research and wanted one of his. He was apparently first to publish regarding new obverse and reverse hubs for 1901, in a 1980 Coin World article. I picked up this 1903-S &quot;thin ribbon&quot; of his, to go with my 1903-S &quot;thick ribbon&quot; in the same grade. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1438231[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1438233[/ATTACH] </p><p>It&#039;s twin but different, note the extra right ribbon fold:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1438234[/ATTACH] </p><p>I paid way too much for both, but at least I&#039;m comforted knowing somebody else was willing to pay almost as much. </p><p><br /></p><p>NGC has a brief write-up here: <a href="https://www.ngccoin.com/news/article/9729/heritage-offers-ngc-certified-mccloskey-collection/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ngccoin.com/news/article/9729/heritage-offers-ngc-certified-mccloskey-collection/" rel="nofollow">https://www.ngccoin.com/news/article/9729/heritage-offers-ngc-certified-mccloskey-collection/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
