This quartet represents duplicate coins, as the rest of the set remains in his collection. There are two small letter examples, one graded VF-35 and the other XF-45, as well as two large letter examples, again graded VF-35 and XF-45. All are precisely graded and utterly problem-free in this four coin lot.
