Late Spring Update.....

The Central States Show in Schaumburg wrapped up almost a month ago and was successful by most accounts, albeit somewhat sparsely attended.  It is always a great wholesale show with major dealers and marketers able to pick up inventory for their clients. Last week I flew to New York to view the lots for the upcoming sale at Sotheby's on May 21.  For the Morgan Dollar collector who is looking for coins that are seen perhaps every other generation, this sale will fit the bill.  Many fabulous rarities, not the least of which is what I call a "fantasy piece:"  1884-S MS-67 PCGS/CAC.   This coin is truly unbelievable and no other coin of this date comes close!  I had the privilege of viewing the lots for a prominent Registry set collector who plans to spend quite a bit in the sale. As I write, I have an early morning flight to a major U.S. city where I will be viewing a 7-figure collection which will be for sale and/or possible public auction.   Spring is usually the busiest part of the year and 2018 is no exception.  Next show on the schedule is the legendary Long Beach Expo June 13-16.  Drop by table 934;  I hope to see you there!!
