An update of Abe's Collection:
A large part of Abe's (bear) collection was sold in the Feb. 13th Legend Morphy auction in Las Vegas Auction number 6
While not the entire collection was auctioned, off a good portion was. Missing from this auction were the moderns and one of my personal favorite the 1837 Bust Half (Reeded edge) ....PCGS MS-65 CAC I wonder where this coin resides as it is stunning and the cornerstone coin in any great collection.
Even though the coins were not held for the 20 year time frame as Abe wanted and sold just two short years later I feel that the prices realized were reasonable with no major losses to mention of.
