The "World's Greatest Collection" (F.C.C. Boyd Collection) sold by Numismatic Gallery, May 11-12, 1945, was the premier event in the coin hobby at the time. Doubtless, a premium was paid for the following by enthusiasts who desired to have specimens pedigreed to this famous holding. A high price was posted for the 1923, a Philadelphia Mint issue con-sidered to be rare at the time, as rolls and quantity groups had dried up in the preceding year or two. Later, millions were released, and the 1923 became one of the cheaper issues. Note also the strong price for the 1925.
