From the Experts at PCGS
Walter Henry Childs collected coins between 1870 and 1906. After he passed away, his son and later his grandson continued collecting and adding to the Childs Family Collection. In 1945 the family purchased the finest known 1804 dollar (PCGS graded PR68.) The Childs Family Collection was sold by Bowers and Merena in August, 1999, the 1804 dollar bringing a then record price for a U.S. coin of $4,140,000.

The Childs Family proof Morgan dollar set was a Gem quality set, with many coins grading PR66 and PR67. The coins were believed to have been purchased directly from the U.S. Mint by Walter and C.F. Childs. There is no 1878 or 1879 as apparently Walter Childs did not start buying proof from the Mint in the year of issue until 1880.
