Please stop by and see me at Table 215 at the FUN Show in Orlando, FL next week if you are there. I will have a large amount of early Type and silver coins. In addition, I will have a Redbook Set of Capped Bust Half Dimes on display that all JRCS members and others who like early silver. Pedigrees and higher grades abound as you can see below. Note also the collection is complete, thanks to a couple of purchases from my sale of the Richard Meaney collection last year.

I will also have a nice selection of CB H10C at the table, with others on a list but too many coins to bring to this Show. Two that are newly consigned and that I will have until sold are an 1833 LM-2, R-6 H10C in P40 (and crusty original) at $1,500 and an 1829 LM-12, R-6 in PCGS VF35 (CAC) at $1250. There are traces of luster despite the VF35 grade PCGS assigned! These are available now if anyone is interested. Just call or e-mail me.
I will also have about 20 early dollars including four Flowing Hair Dollars (2 of which have CAC stickers) and one 1795 DB Centered SE Reverse.
There will be a couple of R-7 and R-8 die marriages, one FH H10C and one DB 10C, both pre-1800.
JRCS members and new members are welcome to drop off their dues payments and “save a stamp!”
Happy New Year to all! Hope to see you at FUN.

This may interest and tantalize readers.
Along with my usual assortment of nifty bust half-dollars I will bring some baby busties to FUN. The Beaver Falls Collection includes more than 100 (each) bust dimes and half-dimes. I only had time to slab about 30 of the coins (graded by PCGS last Thursday, received Friday). The rest are raw. All were assembled from auction and private purchases during the period 1977 through the early 1990s and have been off the market since then. Yes, there is an 1829 curl base 2, low grade as usual: Good detail, scudzy surfaces. Also, a pair of bust dime proofs and many choice AU and UNC pieces. Pay me a visit at table 223 to look over this fresh group. I do not yet have a list available.
And, oh, don't forget that Mail Bid Sale No. 55 closes this coming Friday, 6 PM EST. Check out current bids here: https://www.sheridanscoins.com/inc_active-mb.php
Happy New Year to all,
Sheridan
