Pinnacle Rarities Acquires NGC Registry’s Finest Ranked Type Set
Named for the Puget Sound, the Sounder collection was carefully assembled by an astute collector from the Seattle area. This collector’s name is also associated with finest known Walkers, as he assembled one of the top graded sets (3rd All Time Finest Date Set and 7th Finest Complete Set of Circulation Strikes on the PCGS Registry). The collection, valued at over $2,000,000, includes examples of all major design types, in all metals besides gold. Of the 99 coins, 34 are certified by NGC and 65 by PCGS. Now that his type set is for all practical purposes complete, the collector has decided to embark on new numismatic challenges. Rarely do sets of this caliber become available for sale in their entirety, and it represents an excellent opportunity for high-end collectors to make some wonderful acquisitions. This is the finest type collection Pinnacle Rarities has ever handled.
Below are a few of the highlights:
* 1793 Liberty Cap Half Cent PCGS MS62BN
* 1793 Vine and Bars Wreath Cent PCGS MS64BN
* 1827 Capped Bust 10c NGC MS67
* 1796 Draped Bust 25c NGC MS63
* 1879 Seated Liberty 25c PCGS MS68
* 1911 Barber 25c PCGS PR68 Cameo
* 1795 Flowing Hair 50c PCGS MS63 ex. Norweb
* 1910 Barber 50c PCGS PR68
* 1799 Draped Bust $ PCGS MS63
* 1879 Trade $ PCGS PR67
The set is available for sale and will be on display at the upcoming Florida United Numismatics convention in Orlando, FL at booths 521-523. Images and descriptions can also be viewed later this month in an online catalog at www.Pinnacle-Rarities.com.
