The Bear Legacy Collection
Album - Owner: bear - 39 items
The intent of this collection, is to continue after I am gone.
I am putting all my skill and experience
in the selection of each coin.
My son, who is my executor will monitor the collection and if or when it
is needed to provide for my wife, the collection will be sold.
A collection properly created and held
for a period of time can be an investment as well as a collection.
If the collection is not needed for the wife,
then It will continue to exist until 10 years after its formation and the
proceeds will be divided between our
two sons.

1837 Bust Half  PCGS MS65  CAC posted by coinsarefun May 24, 2011, 06:49:40 PM 3688 4.99 (1 vote)
It is the most beautiful example of this rare type coin that I have ever seen regardless of grade.
It is original, with original color and a strike, sharp enough to shave with. This coin is worthy of a strong price and I paid a strong price for it.
It in fact is the centerpiece of my new collection.  It was purchased from Legend. This coin is an absolute wonder to behold.This is another
coin from the fine folks at Legend. Laura was kind enough to tell me, If I did not buy the coin, I would be a dumb bunny, instead of the smart bear
that I am. She really told me, that this was among the very best she had ever seen and I believed her enough to buy the coin.

1897 Barber Half Proof PCGS PR67 Deep Cameo CAC posted by coinsarefun May 22, 2011, 11:20:20 PM 470
Heavily frosted devices juxtaposed with deeply mirrored fields give this specimen the appearance of a newly minted Proof Silver Eagle. Immaculately preserved surfaces, added to the stunning cameo contrast, leave nothing to be desired. Proof Barber Half Dollars of this caliber are few and far between. If you are seeking just one example for a type set, or perhaps aspiring to complete the entire set, look no further. (CAC) certified.
1904 O Gold $10 PCGS MS65 CAC posted by coinsarefun June 17, 2011, 06:04:13 PM 541
Absolutely ORIGINAL, problem free, and clean surfaces have a superior satiny texture. There are NO spots anywhere. The color is a gorgeous deep yellow gold. A strong luster adds to the color and cleanliness. Miss Liberty and the details are frosty and have full strikes. The eye appeal is incredible!

1908 $5 Gold Coronet Half Eagle PCGS MS65  CAC posted by coinsarefun June 04, 2011, 02:52:13 PM 485
A decisively struck Gem with rich, satiny orange-gold luster swirling across each side. Marvelous eye appeal for this final Coronet half eagle issue. PCGS has graded 36 numerically finer pieces

1915 PAN-PAC PCGS MS 67    CAC posted by coinsarefun May 24, 2011, 08:29:09 PM 604
An old green tag holder Gem and a true to grade example of this classic favorite. Wonderful luster, wholly original white centers with a touch of pale green and framed with light red-orange and a hint of blue-green. Clean devices and fields - a truly beautiful coin.
1916 Walking Liberty Half PCGS MS66+ CAC posted by coinsarefun June 02, 2011, 11:42:20 AM 499
The 1916 Walking Liberty Half is magnificent in its originality, strike and luster. It is truly a full on MS-67 coin and will attain that
grade someday on a regrade. The coin is flawless as well as the finest 1916 I have ever seen.Its present grade is PCGS MS-66+ CAC
the coin was purchased from Legend. When I asked Laura , should I buy the coin, she said "It is a no brainer" so buy it I did.
1918 FH Standing Liberty Quarter PCGS MS-66+  CAC posted by coinsarefun May 24, 2011, 07:07:05 PM 1867 1 4.99 (1 vote)
This is an extremely strong FH approaching very close to Ultra FH. Every aspect of this coin is fully struck
up including all ten toes. While this coin was probably dipped at some time, it was carefully done and most of the original skin is still intact. While
1918 is a very good date for a strong strike,this coin is as fine an example of the type 2 Quarter as I have ever seen. The coin is graded
PCGS MS-66+  CAC. In my opinion, this coin will reside in a MS-67 holder in the near future.It is a true wonder to behold.The coin was purchased
from Mike Prinz of Harlen J Berk LTD.

1929 S Standing Liberty Quarter PCGS MS67+  FH posted by coinsarefun June 06, 2011, 05:09:37 PM 845
If there’s a finer looking example of this late date from the Standing Liberty quarter series it must be perfect. At first glance this stunning coin looks flawless. Its breathtakingly white surfaces are headlight bright. The detail on all the raised devices is as sharp as can be, with just a trifle bit of weakness on the two rivets on the lower left side of the shield. The rippling effect of this coin’s cartwheel luster is mesmerizing. This is one piece that the graders at PCGS should be required to state why they didn’t award it the MS-68FH grade.
