Matthew, I have a few VF halves. That one I posted was a Type 2 92-S Quarter.  Great coins so far from everyone. Windy City, I would do unspeakable things to own that half.

My mistake, LogPotato, I just assumed that it was a half. Hey, 5 hours of sleep is not enough to avoid little mistakes like mine. Windycity is being modest. Link: https://goccf.com/t/130813&whichpage=1In case the link to Windy's site is slow/fails to work: "Possibly the Finest Known Proof Set Period. While finding US Mint documents to verify the provenance of this set has proven challenging, it is believed that this set was hand-picked by mint officials to display at the 1892-1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago. After the conclusion of the Expo, this set went into the hands of a local Chicago family where it remained for about 100 years. In the early 1990's the set was acquired by Harlan Berk company in Chicago and sold to a Chicago collector. That collector sold it back to Harlan Berk in approximately 2002. I purchased the set from Harlan Berk at that time. This set has never been offered for sale at public auction and is unknown to most dealers. In a word, it is spectacular. Graded by PCGS, the Morgan dollar is a PR68DCAM, the Half is a PR67DCAM, the Quarter PR67DCAM, the Dime PR68CAM (a wonderfully toned), the Nickel PR66CAM, and the Cent PR66RD."
