Round: https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/l...leather-case Octagonal: https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/l...leather-case Even the quarter eagle is too rich for my blood, and I never expected to see the packaging for these.

I asked to view an example of the octagonal and round pair that was up for auction. The pair coins sitting in the palm of my hand, handled, *very carefully !* Almost four ounces of gold and spectacular. ! Report this Post to the Staff

I suspect they will remain there a bit longer! 15 or so years ago, my local coin club made a trip to the Smithsonian Institution to see the portions of the National Numismatic Collection that were on display (the Lilly gold collection was outstanding and impressive - it filled a wall!). We got the chance to go back into the vault room; Richard Doty himself was our guide. We were able to ask to see just about anything we wanted. I asked him if I could see the SI's Pan-Pac $50 coins. I was soon holding one in each hand! They were raw coins, so I got to enjoy the full experience of holding them and examining them up close. It was an experience that I will never forget!
