* Cent. SP-65 RB. Deep, frosty mint red tempered with rich violet iridescence. A satiny,
matte-like gem of the finest order * Five cents. SP-67. Sparkling pale silver gray
matte-like surfaces display glowing lustre and boldly impressed design motifs. A visually
stunning gem * Ten cents. SP-66. Warm, satiny silver centers give way to deepening silver
gray toward the rims. Sharp and enticing matte-like surfaces with radiant cartwheel lustre
* Twenty-five cents. SP-64. Glistening, bright surfaces with rich cartwheel lustre and a
nuance of deepening gold toning, especially on the reverse. Another satiny beauty * Fifty
cents. SP-66. An impressive gem in all regards. Deep gold and lilac toning at the
peripheries encroaches slowly upon lively, brilliant centers. Highly lustrous and simply
beautiful. An amazing sets. From an unknown but undoubtedly small production figure for
Specimen coinage of the date, certainly far fewer 1929-dated Specimens were made than were
produced in 1908 or 1911, as offered elsewhere in the sale; the 1929 set lists at
multiples times the value of both those sets. Again, the present set is a delight to
behold, and will no doubt bring extraordinary pride of ownership to its next owner.
