matthewvincent, I checked the website, but didn't see the gallery. (Do you give photo credit? or a link to the source?)

Okay, I will say it, this is one proof set that I would never "break apart" or otherwise separate.  |

harrison2, The link in my signature links you to our home page. On the left is a list of all the topics we have available. The last entry is "gallery." At the bottom of the gallery page is the following: "Any BCCS member may submit an image of their favorite Barber coins for inclusion on this page. It can be a rare coin, or simply a coin that has a nice look. Submit images to the BCCS mailbox listed below." My plan would be to write to Windycity directly and ask him how he would like to package the presentation and how he wishes to be credited. My thought for the credit is: "Submitted by Matthew on behalf of [fill in the blank.] I can pull a few strings and get away with it. In our last issue the CCF got high praise. You can read it here: https://goccf.com/t/130448Windycity, I will use the "contact us" on your site to discuss this further. |

Matthew, thank you for having patience with the digitally blind.
Looks like a very appropriate location for the Barbers in this set, I say go for it!

The set is "priced on request" which means I will discuss with a serious buyer but wouldn't want the world to know what that buyer paid. Some like to keep that information confidential. I will say it is into the six figures.

By the way, for those who haven't seen the dollar image, here it is. Again, photos by John Baumgart (Messydesk).  |

This is a fantastic set that really shows how well the US Mint could make wonderful coins 120 years ago.
So why can't the US Mint make such nice coins again with all of the newfangled hardware they have these days?

Knowing that John did the images, I understand why they look so stunning. And knowing John's work, you may assume that's exactly what they look like. There are few who can capture the true character of a coin as well as John.

Nice set I would put the value at about $125,000. The jewels are the two MS-68 DCAM pieces but that half dollar is not too shabby either !
