Rich Toning and Luster

1839 10C No Drapery MS66+ NGC. CAC. Ex: "Col." E.H.R. Green. Of the first four Philadelphia Seated dime dates, the 1839 is the only one not separated into multiple Guide Book varieties, leading many collectors to underrate the issue. This MS66+ example with its well-defined devices and satiny luster under pink, gold, and blue patina is a coin that rewards the numismatist who takes the time to inspect it closely. Census: 18 in 66 (1 in 66+), 21 finer (10/13).

Truth Seeker: The Life of Eric P. Newman (softcover)
A powerful and intimidating dealer of the 1960s, backed by important colleagues, was accused of selling fraudulent gold coins and ingots to unsuspecting numismatists. Who would go up against a man like that and, over the course of decades, prove the fraud? Who would expose a widely respected scholar as a thief, then doggedly pursue recovery of coins that the scholar had stolen from an embarrassed numismatic organization, all over the objections of influential collectors who had bought coins with clouded titles? Eric P. Newman would - and did. Reserve your copy today.
