Greetings to all fellow C4OAers, passionate "CC" collctors and fans
We've all by now heard of and read about the terrible stolen 1870-CC $20 finest known NGC AU-58 coin. Within all the "hub-bub" a possibly over-looked article sits unread by many. It is the single finest and most comprehensive article I've ever read about this major US double eagle ("CC") issue, and it can be found right here...in our C4OA blog-site.
Many of you who know me personally (Michael the drummer) know that my very favorite "CC" coin is the heralded 1870-CC double eagle....indeed one of the classic rarities of the entire US double eagle coins.
I have made it a point to learn as much about this coin as I possibly can, and for the last 15 years have read every book, article, website publication about this coin. In those studies I have indeed learned quite a great deal about it. Then along comes an article, published in a small (read by a relatively few) website (our C4OA blog) that blows every thing I've ever read or learned about this amazing coin right out of the water! I thought I had learned "all about" this (my favorite) coin, until this article that is. I learned many new things from this outstanding article.
The article I speak of can be found right in this very site, the
C4OA Blog-site under the "Coin of the Week" heading in the Discussion Board...it is Rusty Goes article about this amazing 1870-CC $20 coin and "the wizard" presents this coin like no one else can or has! This is simply MUST READING for all passionate "CC" fans...like yourselves!
Please do yourself the favor of checking out this incredible COW post presented this past Sunday (11/6/2011)...leave a comment too. I'm sure it would be appreciated as it is obvious that this "post" is no mere tiny article...rather it is a mini-book in itself packed full of info (much of it new) about this special coin. It's quite obvious that Rusty devoted a prodigious amount of time to this one-of-a-kind COW post.
Like many of you, I have a "CC" scrapbook. Rusty's 1870-CC article has been reprinted and installed into my special scrapbook. The article is packed with "reference" material that I will use and reuse
for all time.
