SET 1876 NGC PR 65-67*

Now for something completely different! When was the last time you recall seeing a matched totally original PR Set from the 1870’s? The last 1876 set we saw, was a low grade one (Pr62-65) we handled about 15 years ago. We consider a set like this a true numismatic miracle. Each coin is pristine and is truly a GEM. Do not let the mintage of 1,150 fool you. Our guess is maybe LESS than a dozen sets still survive intact in ANY grade.

1C NGC PR65RB. Even deeper RB color. The surfaces are flawless. All of the details are pinpoint sharp in strike.

3CN NGC PR66. Above average quality and eye appeal. This is an original coin that clearly has NOT been dipped out. The mirrors are strong and have no problems. Miss Liberty and the details are sharply struck.

5C NGC PR65. Looks the same as the 3CN. Strong mirrors offer no imperfections. The details are needle sharp. Oh would the crackout guys love to dip this beauty!

10C NGC PR67. Now we’re talking some serious coin. This piece has bold mirrors that are clear, clean, and have powerful flash. A gorgeous mix of purple/aqua blue covers both sides. The details are all perfectly struck. The quality is really 67+!

20C NGC PR66* CAMEO. WOW! This beauty is the same color scheme as all the other coins. It has something a bit unusual for a 20C piece: killer mirrors. Even with the toning, you can see the clarity and flash. Miss Liberty and the details are fully struck and do have strong frost. The surfaces are perfect. We think this coin easily ranks in the top 2% for the grade!

25C NGC PR67*. Yes, it just gets better as the coins get bigger. Like all the others, this coin has amazing deep, clear, and glittering mirrors. The same color scheme as all other coins is also clearly visible. Miss Liberty and the details are sharply struck and have strong frost. We do not understand why this piece was not designated a cameo.

50C NGC PR66*/. Can’t take our eyes off this jewel! If it were a stand alone coin, we’d probably crack it and try for a PR67. Super deep, crystal clear, and incredibly flashy mirrors highlight both sides. The colors scheme covers this coin well and blends in exactly with all the other coins. Miss Liberty and the details boldly stand out with full strikes and heavy frost. This is NOT your typical dull Half!

$1 NGC PR65* CAMEO. Clearly this is a PR65+. NGC got crazy picky and probably didn’t 66 for a small cut HIDDEN in the right obverse field. Regardless, this piece is a monster! The mirrors are deep, clear, clean overall, and remarkably reflective. The colors are 100% true to the rest of the set. Miss Liberty and the details are frosted and have full strikes.

This is one of the neatest matched original sets we have EVER handled. You rarely ever see them so matched an original from the 1870’s. We can not stress enough how beautiful and incredibly RARE this set is. As time goes on, you will see fewer sets like this appear. Today, there is very little premium for matched original sets. This set represents an opportunity of a life time! If you have junk lying around, “dead” coins, or dupes, why not unload them to get into something like this?
