Lot Title: 1940 Proof Set in a Capital Plastics holder
Lot Number: 208
Description: A recurring pattern of nearly identical toning that offers waves of a light and dusty grey along with some peppering of russet flecks gives this 1940 proof set a very original look. This particular set is neatly housed in a Capital plastic five coin holder and offers truly original examples that are free from any enhancements. It is very difficult to find these early year United States proof sets that have not been cleaned or cherry-picked (ck).
Estimate: $700-$800

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.
