[QUOTE="ValpoBeginner, post: 2948478, member: 77066"]Great video and Harry W. Bass, Jr. was one of my favorite Gold Type Coin Collectors. Not only did he have all Gold coin Types,(except one, the 1822 Half Eagle...the only one in existence was acquired by the Pogue family), but even more fascinating is that he had all varieties and die states. & I don't know how he acquired it but he also had a non cancelled die of major significance on display in this video. Highlights- Coins that exist only in this collection- 1824/1 Quar. Eagle Gem Proof (Unique) 1870-S $3 Gold Piece 1854-D(Georgia not Colorado)Proof, Only 1 known to exist 1804 $10 Gold Pc. (plain 4 variety) 1797 Sm. Eagle Var. $5.00 Gold pc. - 1 exists The Ultra High Relief Saint Gaudens, (Worth a look at his for the extreme aesthetic quality and condition of his). He also had the Earliest Proof coin, a very rare and coveted 1820 Half Eagle Proof! All of these Gold Coins are in High Mint Condition! He also has on display a great number of Pattern Coins from 1/2 Cents to the Schoolgirl Dollar. I love that people like Mr. Bass and his heirs allowed the ANA Museum to acquire his collection so that we all might view some things, that are so rare we will probably never see them anywhere else, except in pictures, which we all know are not even close to seeing the pieces in person.[/QUOTE]
