Mt. Rainier Collection 3 3

[jeffprice]

Anyone know any background or anything else about the "Mt. Rainier Collection?"  I've been seeing a few cool books (1960s and earlier) with this designation on the slabs listed at the auction sites but can't find anything about this particular collection.  If anyone happens to know anything about it can you please share?

Thanks

Maybe @CGC Mike would know ?

I'll ask.  Thank you for the suggestion.

As I mentioned in a PM, I have sent a message to the team inquiring about this, and will post any info I receive.

Mike may want to have a rush order put in for that :

Due to its high probability of an eruption in the near future and proximity to a major urban area, Mount Rainier is considered one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world, and it is on the Decade Volcano list.^[7] The large amount of glacial ice means that Mount Rainier could produce massive lahars that could threaten the entire Puyallup River valley and other river valleys draining Mount Rainier, including the Carbon, White, Nisqually, and Cowlitz (above Riffe Lake)

This is a collection that CGC wasn't paid to recognize so you will only see this designation on CBCS slabs.

IIRC this collection came to market about eight years ago and was mid to low grade gold and silver from the Washington State area (obviously). There isn't much info outside of that, it is just one of the "collections" that are confusing the market masquerading as a pedigree.
