We have decided to sell our CBH collection. This collection is currently ranked by PCGS as "The Number One Finest Set of All Time", Capped Bust Half Dollars with Varieties, Circulation Strikes (1807 -1839).
We have spent many, many hours and spared no expense trying to find the most attractive AU58 example of each and every variety identified in the PCGS set. In our collection we also included an 1807 Bearded Goddess in VF30, and 1814 Single Leaf in AU55, an 1823 Tampered 3 in AU58 and an 1836/1336 in AU58. The set includes 60 coins in AU58 with most being, in our opinion, the most attractive example of the variety we've ever seen. Several of the lower graded coins could have been represented by a higher grade example but, again in our opinion, the coin already in the set was more attractive than any other we came across.
It's difficult to pick out our favorite coin but there are many that are absolutely superb. The 1807 Small Stars, the 1809 III (Prooflike), the 1812/1 Large 8 (the finest we've ever seen and definitely undergraded), the 1814 E/A, the 181.7.....we can go on and on!
The collection will be offered in auction at the Baltimore show next month (November). The sale will be conducted by Bowers & Merena auctions. We thought this was the fairest way to sell the coins as we have been approached by many of you with inquiries on the same coin. The coins can be viewed either on Bowers & Merena's website Bowers & Merena or on the PCGS Registry site Premium's CBH set .
Many of the coins will have reserves. We never looked at building this collection from a profit perspective. Any reserves will be simply to minimize our exposure through the sale.
Please call me to discuss any of the coins. We can provide larger photographs, personal descriptions, estimated values, etc.
Thanks for your support and good luck at the sale!
