With all of the talk lately about the amazing collections coming to auction (Newman, Gardner, Simpson, & Pogue), I'm surprised there has been no mention of the amazing Warren Miller Collection of Early American Dollars 1794-1803.
His incredible set is the only complete collection of early dollars ever formed, containing all 118 known die varieties. It contains unique coins, finest knowns, and double struck specimens - 167 coins in all. All of the coins have been graded by PCGS.
At the March Baltimore convention, I was lucky enough to notice and pick up a copy of the beautiful 8 page flyer put together by Stacks~Bowers Galleries announcing that the collection was available for sale by private treaty. The flyer lists all 167 coins contained in the set, and features pictures of a number of them.
Of course, I kept thinking what a great set for someone like TDN or Simpson to buy. Or maybe the Pogues are selling their type set in order to purchase it. But enough rampant speculation, as I don't even know if the set has been sold yet.
Do you think the set will sell intact, or will we see it go to auction at some point in the future?
Here are a couple pages courtesy of the Stacks~Bowers flyer in case you haven't seen it.
