denkan Valued Member Sweden 145 Posts	Posted 01/02/2024 08:44 am I have come across an auctioncatalogue from "The Gemini Collection - of Twin sets of United States proof coins 1859-1915 cents through dollars" By Harmer, Rooke Numismatics, Ltd. December 9th and 10th, 1975. It is a very impressive collection that was offered. The catalogue does not mention who the seller was, only that it was a knowledgable professional man who loved coins. Does anyone know who the seller was? It was such an impressive collection and the pedigree would be interesting to know. /denkan Report this Post to the Staff

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 01/02/2024 2:02 pm I have no idea who that was but here's an article from 2020 on a Spink auction https://www.ngccoin.com/news/articl...r-2020-sale/ and a link to the Gemini Collection coins in that auction https://live.spink.com/lots?categories=4-URUCW So Gemini seems to have had an impressive collection of UK proofs as well.

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 10992 Posts	Posted 01/02/2024 2:07 pm I don't know who put together that set. The seller did not want to disclose this in the catalog and auction houses generally accede to the consignor's wishes in this regards. It is interesting that Jeff Garrett wrote a couple of years ago that the 1858-1915 proof sets are very unpopular at this moment, and that these coins trade at elevated 1980s boom price levels, apparently due to the set registry effect. https://coinweek.com/jeff-garrett-1...-type-coins/ IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS My coin e-commerce website:https://fairfaxcoins.com Report this Post to the Staff
denkan Valued Member Sweden 145 Posts	Posted 01/02/2024 2:13 pm I don't think the name of the owner in the auction I am refering to was named Gemini. But the the collection was called The Gemeni Collection because it hade two of every year proof with a few exeptions. It also had a complete Panama pacific 5-piece set that the auctioneer estimated to 35 000 USD. Would be interesting to know the knockdown prices Report this Post to the Staff
