Dr. Thaine B. Price

关于此套币: From the Experts at PCGS
Dr. Thaine B. Price collected coins for over two decades. His goal was to assemble the finest possible set of 20th Century gold series, i.e. the four series minted from 1908 to 1933. Dr. Price had a great eye for quality and he was assisted in his pursuit by one of the top experts/dealers in the field, David Akers. Dr. Price also decided to put together the finest possible set of circulation strike Barber half dollars, and he also built a nearly complete set of Gem proof Barber halves. When David Akers auctioned the Price collection in 1998, it was one of the major events of the year, even though the auction only had 213 coins.

The Price collection of $2-1/2 Indians was one of the finest of all-time. The set included 6 MS66 examples. The most important coin in the set, the 1911-D, was a spectacular MS66, as was the very rare in gem condition 1914-D. The condition sensitive 1914 was a Gem MS65.
