Richard Meaney Half Dime Collection

Richard Meaney is parting with his complete h10c collection with 123 die marriages.

Fixed Price List Part I - (32) lots

Sealed Bid Sale Part I - (14) lots

I expect the remainder of the collection will be sold over the next 2 years.

The sale is being offered by W. David Perkins with an exceptional caveat of no buyers premium on sealed bid lots.

1st choice - 1829 LM-7.1 P58CAC R-4 = $900 (too expensive)

2nd choice - 1829 LM-7.3 P58CAC R-5 = $650 (steep)

3rd choice - 1832 LM-12 P64CAC R-2 = $1925 (out of my price range)

I was interested in several others, but the final determination will depend somewhat on price.

1829 LM-18 P53CAC R-4 (last choice) = $850

1831 LM-3 P63CAC R-4 = $1075

1833 LM-8 P63CAC R-3 = $1725

1834 LM-1 P64CAC R-2 = $4600 (Yikes!)

While I would certainly like to own coins with the Richard Meaney pedigree, the prices seem significantly inflated.  I think I will hold off any new purchases.
