1903 S MS66 Bass Collection Legendary collector.
The Coin Collection of Harry W. Bass Jr. is;
Among legendary coin collectors.  The name of Harry W. Bass Jr. is quite possibly at the head of the hall- of-fame class. Outside of maybe the Smithsonian or the British Museum’s historical archives, his meticulously assembled collection of rare coinage was with few numismatic peers in terms of sheer quality and depth.
Harry W Bass
Beginning in the 1960s, Mr. Bass avidly pursued his love for numismatics, collecting several thousand U.S. coins and carefully constructing one of the best collections in the history of U.S. numismatics. While many series came under his careful eye, it was the field of United States gold coins that interested him the most.
Following his death in 1998, the Foundation chose the best of the best – premier examples of coins and patterns, including some unique items that are not to be found anywhere else – for this permanent collection, and the rest were put up for sale.
The Harry Bass Core Collection emphasizes the early era of the gold series, 1795-1834, and includes many later pieces as well. Descriptions of each coin’s salient features (and in many instances, numismatic and historical significance) are provided by noted numismatists and historians.
To own one of his pedigree coins is to own one of the few items which are truly historic and desireable.
In fact, his collection was of such importance,and pedigree that it eclipsed even the most extraordinary modern day collections.
This one is not inexpensive, and I know it's hard to tell you mom you need 00 for a coin, but likely as not, it may be a great investment, not just something no one else has.  There are about 31 of these coins in grade of XF40, but ONLY ONE WITH THE PITTMAN PEDIGREE.
Thanks for looking, hope you enjoyed and will go on to learning more about Pittman collection.
If you want it, good luck in the bidding.  Bid last, and you win for sure.
Thanks again,
