while the coins themselves are relatively common its hard to find a better provenance than the Eliasberg collection. for those unfamiliar Louis Elaisberg Sr. is the only person to complete a set of United States coins. he completed the set in 1950 and kept it current until his death in 1976.

Interesting display for, as you mention, a common set. With that pedigree and signed certificate, I'm sure it went for at least a couple orders of magnitude higher price than a typical 1970 proof set.

Eliasberg is a legend!

Get to learning if you don't know about him.
You realize when you know how to think, it empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think.
