In 2008, Walter J. Husak sold his stunning collection of large cents. From that sale, he established The Liberty Cap Foundation.

In January 2024, his last collection was sold, and proceeds will fund the continuation and growth of the Liberty Cap Foundation.

We offer you here close-ups, descriptions, and evaluations of key coins from each collection. Walt was known for having an excellent eye for beautiful coins.

As you browse the photos and learn about the coins, we encourage you to decide which coin you would prefer—and why. Sure, there are expert opinions, but what catches your eye?
