In the full-disclosure department, I've got a small consignment in the sale myself. In high school and college I collected foreign coins before making the leap to specialize in the U.S. Civil War. To clear out my closets and fill the college fund I've been selling off items to find them new homes.

This one I'd acquired from the estate of my numismatic mentor Glenn A. Mooney. It was in a handmade holder described as a Dickeson copy - he'd purchased it as such from a fellow collector; in fact, it's one of the Empire Coin Company strikes. Great condition, though.
