Complete 1898 Proof Set silver and gold (EricCO)
in NGC Registry
Posted
The timing of the grandparents birth, late 1890's, and an impulse purchase took me down the path to completing a full 1898 proof set, cent to double eagle over the course of ten years. Many of our coins sit in a safe or a bank so i thought I would share this very special part of my collection. I got deep cameos when I could, I would like to replace my dime one day, and felt very fortunate that I found a double eagle that I could afford.
My next goal, a nice type set, something everyone enjoys looking at, a lineage of American history. I have several favorite pieces but the quarter eagle I purchased in 2014 tops the list because of the orange peel surface's and colors. I paid too much but would never have another opportunity.
