ANA Anaheim, August, 2016
On display were the WingedLiberty's Color of Money "Fireball Rainbow" Lincolns, courtesy of Paul Hubanks.
Paul's set is filled with beautifully toned Lincoln cents in both circulation strikes and proof.
Paul received an award this year for "Best Digital Album." His coins are breathtaking.
Visitors were treated to the complete circulation and proof sets, 1909-1958.
The Hubanks collection will also be on display this September in Long Beach.
Also on display was the $8 million dollar Legend Collection of Liberty Seated Dollars. The set only consists of 43 coins, but those coins are the best in the world.
Bruce Morelan's set is a member of the PCGS Set Registry Hall of Fame. It is the finest set of seated dollars ever assembled.
Visitors enjoyed viewing the Legend Collection which will also be on display at the September Long Beach Expo.
