Lot Title:
|
1947 Mint Set.
|
|
Description:
|
Without question, the inaugural 1947 mint set is THE key to a collection of original mint sets. A former owner of this example has neatly lettered in pencil "1947" across the outer envelope, and in the same hand on the holder for the Philadelphia coins is a listing of the included denominations. Every single coin from all three mints is expectedly toned, except for the nickels which are only lightly patinated from sixty years of storage. A handful of the coins are spectacularly colorful, in particular the reverse of the second 1947 half, and the obverse of the first 1947-S Lincoln cent. A very nice, historic lot! From the Seaborne Collection.
This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.
