关于此套币: I started collecting SP coins in 1953, my uncle (raised as my older brother) was a famous coin dealer/collector from 1946, and he started me collecting in 1953 and introduced me to the Master of the Die at the mint, who made Specimen coins for his own collection, from ca. 1929 to 1950, including all the known 1936 dot sets. We always suspected he stuck only 6 actual 1936 dot sets, 3 SP and 3 MS, thinking he would make a fortune but the war ended coin collecting as a major hobby until the mid 1950s when he sold one complete 1936 SP dot set, and a part dot set, to my uncle, and he sold me SP coins he struck for himself from 1938 to 1945. Unfortunately my father, the rock of our family (my father and my uncle's 'defacto' father) died in 1968 and this ended my uncle's collecting, and I sold out to complete my PhD. This was a terrible mistake, nobody then recognized the rarity of what we had, or that such coins existed in SP: my uncle's 1936 dot pieces have never been found, nor have any of my own 1940 to 1945 SP coins, except one 1940 SP dime I now own, and one possible 1943 Sp $0.25 I have never seen. My uncle died young in 1982, and that was when I decided to get back into collecting looking especially for my uncle's and my own coins that I recognized.
