Eden Seminary Collection
Eden Seminary is an ecumenical graduate school of the United Church of Christ.
It is located in Webster Groves, Mo., a suburb of St Louis. The collection
was put together by one of the seminary's alumni, Paul Syster of Florida.
According to the documentation, Mr. Syster built the
collection in the 1920's-50's. After his death, it was donated to
Eden Seminary by his widow, where it sat in their vault. The current president
asked for permission from the board of directors to sell the collection, in
order to fund several different improvement projects at the school. Upon
approval for sale, the collection was appraised by and sold through Vaughn
Rare Coin Gallery on VCoins.
