Wow what an opportunity: an 1892 proof set from the Chicago exposition. This set is all silver cameo proofs with an 1892 Morgan dollar in proof 67 deep cameo -- the finest proof of this date in existence -- , an 1892 Barber half dollar in proof 66 deep cameo. The rest of the set has other rarities, including an 1892 Barber quarter in proof 67 cameo.
In 1892 a Chicago family purchased the proof set. Although unproven, they likely bought it from the U. S. Mint. The family kept the set safe for a century. Later the set passed through the hands of Harlan Berk.
This is an almighty proof set to be found nowhere else.

Still looking for a (10-0-1) 1943 AU or better 1943.
