Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
If you're curious about the $5 MS coin, that was my space filler for the proof. I thought that I might not ever get an affordable piece to complete the set.
This set for me is the trifecta! It's unusual, extremely rare and highly undervalued . The 1895 $1 is not undervalued, but is cool as well! Try finding a proof set like this at any coin show!
It's unbelievable that someone bought a PRF-55 CAC 1895 $20 for 9K in 2019, with 20 existing! Have you ever exhibited these?
Thanks for making my day! I hope to have a proof gold pre 1900 one of these days.

Nice set!
That is way above my pay grade.
A very mild April Fools joke.

Pretty amazing. Wish the pictures were bigger to really get a good view of your coins.

Awesome set, but would appreciate more (and better) pictures!

Awesome set!
How did a PR 1895 dollar circulate so much? Unless it was a pocket piece you would think someone would have plucked it before it got to AU50.
Now we know why the OP is broke
Cool set
Very tough achievement. Congrats!
