Doug on the Coin Week Podcast!
/ Doug WinterWhen my friend Charles Morgan of Coin Week contacts me with an idea for a podcast, I’m always interested as he is one of the most gifted minds in the rare coin industry. Charles recently called me with an especially interesting idea: a Coin Battle between the celebrated 1822 half eagle and the unique 1870-S three dollar gold piece.

Charles allowed me to choose my side and without hesitating, I selected the 1822 half eagle. This coin is one of my very favorite American gold rarities and I was happy to defend its honor against Charles’ selection: the 1870-S three.
You can also listen to it directly on Coin Week’s site. It’s just about 22 minutes from start to finish, and I think you’ll enjoy it.
