Sorry, I misspelled his last name – it should be David Hendrickson.

These rarities should be called The A.A.L. Collection (Arm & a leg collection) due to their high value & what they will cost the successful bidder at this coin auction.
Numismatic expert Laura Sperber from New Jersey founded her own retail coin company back in the 1980s & later this fine auction house. I met her at an ANA coin show & convention back in 1986 & she was one of only about 5 full-time female numismatic dealers in the USA. She is very outspoken & to the point in her language – she calls crappy coins at other auctions “dregs” & she says the elite PNG dealer organization is not worth her joining even if they invited her due to some members who are convicted felons (like David Henderson of SilverTowne & The Coin Vault). She has chutzpah for sure!

I do own a nice 1836 large cent. Still trying to find that elusive young head 1835 large cent to complete my collection of this type.

Maybe even our finest Revolutionary War general and first President! In any event, it was a time and culture vastly different from the one we’re living in. By the way, how much do you think it cost them to press that copper one cent coin? That sucker looks to be the size of one of our half dollars.What does that tell you about inflation?

Of course it would probably be a futile effort, as people getting these coins are most likely billionaires. When I see one of these early nation coins, I wonder just who’s hands held this coin. If they could only talk.
