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 Barber half dollars was one of the finest ever assembled. There are an amazing number of Gems and Superb Gems, including 15 different MS67s. Highlights include the MS67 1892-O which sold for $28,600 in the Price sale, the MS67 1900-S which sold for $30,800, the MS67 1903-S which sold for $26,400, the MS64 ultra rare 1892-O micro O which sold for $55,000, and the incredible MS66 1904-S which sold for $82,500.
