Collections that required a life-time to form and represented the most diligent application and interest, are invariably broken up - and rightly so - again giving to those who appreciate them, the same genuine pleasures in the acquiring as was enjoyed by the former owner.

Excerpt from Catalog of the Magnificent Collection of the Gold, Silver and Copper Coins of the United States: Formed by the Late David S. Wilson, Esq., Pittsburgh The Gold Dollar series is the most complete in specimens from all Mints ever placed on sale, and includes a Dahlonega 1861, of which only four are known. It is needless to recapitulate the great number of rarities here, which will be found in due order in the catalog. I would particularly call the attention of the collectors to the Splendid series of gold proof sets, which, as sets, are exceedingly rare, and should be, and I believe will be, more highly appreciated in the future. The grandest coin that our country strikes to-day is the twenty-dollar piece, and that is at least as important as any other denomination, and no great collection can claim to fully represent the coins of the United States without contain ing all the denominations. The consideration of face value may be disregarded when we recollect that a collection of cents in the finest condition will easily average fifty dollars a piece.
