[QUOTE="Elbesaar, post: 1060159, member: 26007"]Thanks Speedie; the 1889 Proof set is for my Grandfather's Birthyear. I gave this collection to my Dad on his 75th birthday [ after my Dad passed away, I upgraded a couple of coins.] I also put together another set for my Grandmother - and its every bit as nice as the one I have for my Granddad.

To make a long story short, the truth came out this past Spring. She was born in 1891. She had lied about her age because she didn't want anyone knowing her true age. Needless to say - I was more than a bit disappointed. I also have a Near Gem to Premium Gem MS collection in all Mints dated 1898 as well. I sold off the 1898 Proof Set this past Summer at Summer FUN. I am now working on the correct year - 1891 - and I'm shy the Half and Morgan.[/QUOTE]
