ok I put a bid on the set

Is it just me or is that quarter butt ugly? I sure hope it looks better in hand than in the photo.

Quarter is ugly, but the Half is beautiful.

IdahoGal

That set has a great name!

It appears to me that the quarter and dime are over graded. They do not look close to PR67 to me.

This lot is accompanied by its original mailing envelope, which has the handwritten notations, "Proof Coins for 1893" and "$2.50." The envelope has a red wax seal from the Superintendent of the U.S. Mint, Philadelphia. The envelope is addressed by hand to Mr. R. H. Poole, 89 Pine St., Chicago Ill.

That's a really cool addition to this set. The mint sold $1.91 face value worth of coins for $2.50? Those were the good old days!

I'm in, and the current high bidder to boot. I'm sure I can convince the wife this set is worth $1300.

dpoole

If R.H. were related to me or Idahogal, you woulda heard about it!

Us Pooles have some good taste in coins, don't we?

Well, add a zero or two and see if it's okay with her

I like it!!

Those are pretty nice looking, especially the half, but the dollars toning looks strange to me. If it weren't in plastic I'd think manually enhanced toning.

I agree, the half's a beauty, but the quarter and dime leave alot to be desired. I've seen stranger looking dollars ( toning ) and as we all know, Heritage's pictures leave something to be desired. As always, up close and personal inspections are necessary. If PCGS gave the silver coins such high grades, I'm fairly positive they are quite nice in person.
