NGC Expert Comments:
Within just a few years of President Roosevelt’s orders to discontinue gold coinage in 1933, this series began to gain favor with collectors. This reached a fever pitch during the early 1940s, despite the confiscation of several 1933 coins in private hands. These handsome twenties remain a collector favorite today.Like some other sets in this category, the collection presented here is a work in progress. But it certainly sounds like the owner is having a good time. Perhaps no other registry winner this year so imparts a sense of the pure joy of collecting in both his introductory remarks and his commentaries on the individual coins. While this collection includes both ordinary and rare coins, its owner has a wonderful philosophy about his hobby that should be required reading for all registry participants.
