After going through the coins and giving him our opinion, he asked “are you ready for more?” we said sure. Next thing we knew, there were 220 DOUBLE ROW boxes of certified coins next to us! The boxes contained coins from OLD HOLDERED MS 65FB Mercs to GEM MS68 Morgans all PCGS or NGC certified! One box that stood out was full of PCGS/NGC MONSTER MS67 Walkers-including some better dates! Mr. McClaren explained to us he had been collecting these coins over the past 20+ years and stopped buying in quantity a few years ago. He too ran out of storage space at his bank. When he looked at us and asked how we’d get all this back to NJ, we figured he meant some time later on. Nope, he said he didn’t want to lug the stuff back to the bank, take it all home now! So needless to say, we had to rent a 16 foot truck and suffer through a bumpy ride back to NJ. We can not even imagine how big or how many safety deposit boxes he had all this stuffed in!
There are also hundreds of rolls of RAW Dimes through Morgans. After a quick look of the raw coins, we saw many GEM’s as well as many unbelievable GEM certified coins! This certainly was not your typical big pile of junk/modern Proof Set deal we so often see. We will post a few of the McClaren coins today. We expect to be posting them possibly through the end of the year! Like us, you’ll be totally amazed at what is in the collection-especially the stunning quality of so many coins.
