Unique 1870-S Sold by Legend Numismatics in Half Dime Deal
(Lincroft, New Jersey) — The top-rated sets of Capped Bust and Liberty Seated half dimes in the PCGS Set RegistrySM have been sold in a multi-million dollar private sale by Legend Numismatics of Lincroft, New Jersey (www.LegendCoin.com).
The 93 coins include many of the finest known examples and the unique 1870-S half dime that was individually valued in this transaction at $1.4 million.
"The collections are known as ‘The Law Collections,’ named after the anonymous ‘Law Collector,’ a New Jersey hobbyist who sold the coins to us for $2.2 million," said Laura Sperber, President and Founder of Legend. "We then sold both sets intact to a Western states collector who told me he would like to exhibit the 1870-S and other coins from his extensive collection, perhaps at an ANA convention next year."
"The buyer is especially excited about the mint state Liberty Seated half dimes because they will compliment his collection of proof half dimes," Sperber explained.
The Law Collections of half dimes comprised a total of six different categories that are each ranked number one in the PCGS Set Registry: Read the rest of this entry »
