Louis Eliasberg

Louis Eliasberg

Louis Eliasberg (1896–1976) was an American financier and numismatist. He is best-known in the numismatic community for putting together the only complete collection of United States coins ever assembled [http://www.pcgs.com/articles/article3829.chtml] . Although the set was not truly "complete" by modern standards (for instance, it did not differentiate between proofs and circulation strikes, as most modern collectors and set registries do), it is still the most comprehensive U.S. numismatic collection of all time. It included a 1933 $20 coin, which Eliasberg had bought illegally in 1933-this was sent to the FBI on the completion of the collection.
