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 20th Century gold series coins is one of the finest ever assembled. His $2-1/2 Indians were superb and featured an amazing MS66 1911-D, a MS66 1914-D, and a MS65 1914. The Price $5 Indians were out of this world and featured the Eliasberg 1909-O, which sold for $374,000 at the 1998 Price sale, and Superb examples of the rare San Francisco Mints issues, several of which brought six figures at the Price sale. The Price collection of $10 Indians was equally impressive and featured rarities in incredible condition and a total of seven coins which graded MS67. The Price $20 St. Gaudens were also amazing and featured a Superb Gem 1924-S which sold for $187,000 at the Price sale, a Superb Gem 1925-S which sold for $209,000, a Gem 1926-D which sold for $165,000, and a Superb Gem 1927-S which brought $132,000.
