(Orlando, Florida) December 6, 2018 — The finest Proof Morgan dollars set will be displayed by the PCGS Set Registry at the 2019 Florida United Numismatists convention for the first time anywhere in public.

Known as the “Mr. Perfection 13” collection, the award-winning, 27-coin Morgan dollar basic Proof set is 100 percent complete and has a rating of 69.47, according to Cosetta Robbins, Professional Coin Grading Service Set Registry Manager.

“Many of the coins in this collection are either Cameo (CAM) or Deep Cameo (DCAM) Proof, and some have amazing, colorful toning. The anonymous owner of the set wants to share the remarkable beauty of these coins with visitors to the FUN show,” said Robbins.

This 1894 silver dollar, graded PR-68+ DCAM, is one of the superb quality coins in the “Mr. Perfection 13” collection of Proof Morgan dollars that will be publicly exhibited by the PCGS Set Registry for the first time anywhere at the 2019 FUN convention.
