 Copper Frame for a Complete Single Set of Panama-Pacific Coins, 1915. Perhaps 30 survive. About Uncirculated. The top of this hammered Copper frame is stamped SHREVE & CO./ SAN FRANCISCO/ MAKERS. The excellently preserved purple velvet-lined easel-back holder has an opening for one of each denomination, including both octagonal and round $50. A gold-stamped satin ribbon bears four lines bearing the name and locale of the Exposition, Congressional authorization and San Francisco Mint strike of the coins. Each denomination has its own purple cardboard label giving full particulars of each coin. This glass-fronted frame is one of possibly 30 in existence and a major rarity in its own right.
Ex Stack's, Private Treaty, February 1945.
