<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1565445, member: 66&quot;]Well that&#039;s kind of hard to say considering they don&#039;t bother to tell us what the set is.&nbsp; But my guess is it is an 1839 proof set containing the 5 pound Una and the Lion pattern.&nbsp; Well known set and pattern often seen in various custom cases.&nbsp; I don&#039;t believe there was an &quot;official&quot; case.</p><p><br /></p><p>I wonder if they would have done better selling the set through a major numismatic auction house instead.&nbsp; Last year Heritage sold an Una and the lion piece by itself for $92,000 (roughly 60,000 pounds)&nbsp; And it is hard to tell from the article if the 74,400 pounds was for just this one set, or if it was for a consignment that included this set.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
