Nicest Morgan Ever? PF69 Ultra Cameo

it is just a pedigree. Like it could be the owners name they wanted on all their coins in that set like the Jack Lee set or the binion collection. I am not familiar with the Bermuda Collaction but that is what it is. It is nothing special just something the owner wanted added to the label that the TPG agreed should be added. The "Divo Collection" is the same thing on the NGC coin

Love that mag app on the goldberg site. Wonder if that's around to grab.

Oh yeah, and nice coin! Too bad they lost 40K! That's gotta be scary buying and selling those big boys.

As far as I know there is no record of how much they sold for but I doubt they were that much. just think if the mint charged double the price of spot now for proofs, everyone would hit the roof, it was probably the same back then. Especially since they had precious metals in their every day coinage unlike us. I would imagine the sell would be less than $2.00 since it was only worth $1.00 in silver

WOW, super nice coin !
Now I want to start collecting Morgan dollars

What do you call that? Pedigree?......for the who's who of the money gamers at the time..they had the money to spend...the ratio of the value of there money to ours is significant......The grades of there coins they can obtain to our money is overwhelming.....but if they can't recoup the money they probably can write the lose of as an investment....you or I can not....with no money and few friends, I can only comment:
on the greater picture of coin collecting..

Money or the collectors names try to apply a value to when they try to liquidate there collection, but we all know the can submit 1,000 coins at a bulk rate pricing and for there money get far more than my few coins in my collection for one of there coins...BUT WOW such coins....
I'm poor, but love to see such treasures....

Cost from the mint was $1 plus 8 cents for the "proofing process". At least that was true for the early years of the Morgan dollar. By the 1890 or 1896 it may have risen slightly.

I did some searching and found this "DIVO collection" on collectors society registry. It is an amazing set and the coin I posted above is just one of two PF-69* he has in that one collection. here is the other





here is the full set and I have to say I am really impressed with the set, I am also in shock that it is only ranked #4. http://coins.www.collectors-society...leSetID=3483 . If anyone likes toned coins check out the #2 set, it has mostly toned coins in that set and all graded super high http://coins.www.collectors-society...SetID=110216 I can only dream and drool while looking at these coins because I would never be able to put a set anywhere near as nice as any of these

oh believe me if I could afford it I would have a complete set myself. I have spent a few thousand dollars on a specific coin. Even though not hundreds of thousands of dollars like these are worth, if I was in a position where I could do so comfortable (like I am sure these guys can) I wouldn't think twice about it
