The Karen P Hansen 1942 Memorial Mint Set
1C 1942-S

Owner Comments:

The final coin was acquired from Great Collections. I had been having a conversation with Ian that week about coin prices on GC. This last coin was at the top end of my range, but was still the lowest priced and the best looking of all the coins available. The auction ended that evening and the coin was mine without any competing bids. I had been lucky those past two days. Not only were all three coins available, but they were coins worthy of being the foundation of this set. Next will come the nickels, which I fully expect will be tougher to find reasonably priced top pop examples.

This coin is the highest grade possible, having an NGC population of 665/0.
