The consignor has been an avid coin collector for over fifty years and a proficient numismatist who hasassembled several extensive collections consigned to various auctions over the last twenty years,including several previous Legend Regency Auctions. He decided several years ago to put togethersmaller sets of Proof coinage of various unappreciated series of coins. It is our honor to now offer TheMeridian Collection of Proof Barber Dimes. One of these sets was the Meridian Collection of ProofLiberty Nickels we sold in Regency Auction 34.

Every coin in this set is either a Gem or Superb Gem grade, most displaying Cameo or Deep Cameocontrast. The coins placed into these collections have been carefully selected for the strong eye appealand high grades. While not all of the coins were the highest graded, many are among the finest certified,and each was specifically collected for its visual effect. The quality of the coins is acknowledged by the100% CAC approval. A number of coins are from previous Legend Auctions or were from some fantasticcollections, including Denali and Simpson.

The Ed Wielawski Collection. All the coins were hand selected by Ed, and many are either tied for finestor second finest for the issue; some of the coins are old friends, having been offered in earlier RegencyAuctions.
