Among the many prized entries in this sale is an NGC-graded, CAC-stickered 1876 Proof Set. The opportunity to bid on this remarkable rarity might come along only once in a collector’s lifetime. Of the 1,150 sets originally minted, it is doubtful that even a dozen sets survive in any grade. The pieces of this set grade as follows: 1C 65RB, 3CN 66, 5C 65, 10C 67, 20C 66* CAMEO, 25C 67*, 50C 66* CAMEO, $1 65* CAMEO. There is no question these coins have been kept together since 1876.
