<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 3019879, member: 66&quot;]There are very few original early sets left intact today,&nbsp; John J Pitman had a cased 1841 and a cased 1843 set.&nbsp; He may have had a couple of of others.&nbsp; The 1841 may still be intact, but the buyer of the 1843 pulled the three gold coins out of the set, had them slabbed and sold them off.&nbsp; The only place I know of that may still have intact sets is the ANS collection.&nbsp; They had several different years.</p><p><br /></p><p>The mint did not sell these sets to the average collector, they were typically special items for used for presentation or exchange.&nbsp; The mint did not make the cases, they purchased them from an outside source.&nbsp; Cost was usually about $3 for the case, I&#039;ve seen the bills.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
