Along with your error post I'd say Santa was very, very kind to you this year. Those pieces are astounding.
Now that is Cool man! Merry Christmas
Love the letter and the coins.
Wow. I don't even want to know how much that set you back. Way cool!
nice
Very cool, thanks for sharing
Latin American Collection
That's really cool.
But what about the B&M note that says: "This holder is intended to facilitate viewing of the lot prior to the sale and is NOT used for permanent storage."

You need a special holder made for those.
I agree. They've just been sitting in the same mailing box for almost 20 years since I bought them
I surprised they didn't get PVC damage.
These are very special, and cool, pieces if history.

Hoard the keys
Very cool
Way kewl!
Tremendous. As to the special holder, it actually looks like number 4 might have some nice toning, maybe from the packaging it has been in. Great stuff.

Seeing your other Christmas gift, maybe your wife will get a special holder made for you next Christmas. The letter and the coins...they would look so cool displayed.
Wow, speechless. That is super cool.
This requires a special holder indeed.

Some great history there!
Do we know where the first Trade dollar struck is? Smithsonian?

Too cool.
Thanks or sharing.
Absolutely incredible that they would not only be kept with the provenance, but that the set has not been broken up. An incredible set for the Trade Dollar collector.
ok. that's pretty amazing.
Wow. Incredibly cool and thanks for posting them!
Freakin awesome...!
Love the letter and the coins! The numbers on the back are wonderful!
TDN, Thanks for sharing as it's incredible that the 4 dollars remained together.
I released a group of 7 copper & silver tokens still in those Bower Merena holders since mid 1980 (84-86) last winter so I could photograph them. None of them had any PVC issues and since they where nearly vacuumed sealed the surface conditions still matched the auction catalog descriptions.
That is just flat out cool!
They look great after 20 yrs.' wouldn't disturb them now...Great post:)
Good grief! Just to imagine these coins still being together after 130 some odd years, is nearly unimaginable. Such a piece of numismatic history to behold, thank you so much for sharing these pics with us. It must be a wonderful feeling to be able to hold these and view them and thinking of all the Americans that have done the same. Congrats.

On another note (aside from the graffiti, i.e., scratches) wouldn't there be PVC residues or worse, with 20 years of storage in a soft-flip ?

That is amazing, and to have the letter confirming their authenticity is incredible. Cheers, RickO
Without question, That is definitely cool. Thanks for sharing.
Nice! Museum quality. Should be framed and PCGS holdered though. Once again, beautiful.

That certainly does have cool factor.
Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner.
I am really amazed that they stayed together all of those years. And the letter! Talk about provenance.
That whole display is totally Sweet!
I can't remember exactly. The cost range was something over $6k and under $12k (iirc)
That s completely bad azz

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
Do you have better pics? I see the 4.
Now that is sweet ....

Amazing piece of history. Congrats! Words cannot explain...

Are damaged coins slabbable if it is proven that the damage is Mint caused?
Nice!
