The set is phenominal!! It would be worth the trip to LA just to see them. Unfortunately, I cannot attend the ANA this year. Please, please, please display the set at Boston next summer

I personally and publicly thank you Bruce for honoring my request. I fully respect the value of your time and

appreciate even more the mutual respect you have shown me by this favor. I'm a blue collar guy that could

never expect to personally possess such quality, so it means a great deal to have the opportunity to enjoy

these vicariously through your willingness to share the images this way.

Absolutely stunning and I still visit your site often to view them individually.

Are these all currently owned or does this include some that were sold?

Someday I would love to have an equal set in eye appeal for my classic heads.

AndyMac · July 27, 2009 9:09AM

Truly a labor of love.

commoncents05 · July 27, 2009 9:10AM

Stunning!!

I wish I could own just ONE of those coins...

Nice set!

tradedollarnut · July 27, 2009 9:15AM

Each of the coins is currently in the set. It was requested recently that I name a price for the set and I simply replied "too much".

jesbroken · July 27, 2009 9:18AM

Not a bad giveaway for your 18,409th post. Now, who do I have to kill to enter the contest?
What a most fantastic collection-I am beside myself. Thank you for sharing.

All are beautiful but the 1876 is fantastic!!

speety · July 27, 2009 9:27AM

Bruce,

I see why you buy sets to upgrade them.

Although this one still has a way to go it shows promise.

Good Luck

Mark

Absolutely the cream of the crop. Thanks for posting those, all together.

SanctionII · July 27, 2009 9:46AM

TDN.

Thanks for posting pictures of your trade dollar set. Simply beautiful coins. The acquistion and assembly of your set must be quite satisfying for you ("The thrill is in the hunt"). Due to modern technology we here on the forums are lucky to be able to see pictures of your collection.

Thanks again.

Edscoin · July 27, 2009 9:50AM

Now that's a set to Behold. Truly beautiful coins.
Thanks for sharing the Pictures.

DonWillis · July 27, 2009 9:57AM

The CC dollars alone are a fantastic set !

Sunnywood · July 27, 2009 9:58AM

I never get tired of looking at those !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

... and every other superlative emoticon that you can find !!!

coinlieutenant · July 27, 2009 9:59AM

I've always said that if I could pick one coin for type out of the "forum collective collection", I would without a doubt choose the 1876 trade dollar. A killer killer killer coin.

NumisOxide · July 27, 2009 9:59AM

Sweeeeeeet!

coinkat · July 27, 2009 10:00AM

A question about logistics when viewing these coins:

What sort of drool bib does an adult use? The commonly available ones seem to be designed for infants.

This is too small.

With a set this serious, do you require a serious approach such as having your saliva glands surgically removed before viewing?

It must be hypnotic, watching the luster wheel around these coins as you slowly turn them; watching the color reflections.

Leonidas · July 27, 2009 10:41AM

....Thank you TDN !

stinkinlincoln · July 27, 2009 10:44AM

WOW!!!!!!

I love this set, & Ive never really had any interest in T$1's, but this set makes me want more than whats needed for my type set.

Out of all those amazing coins, one kept calling me back to it TDN, that 1877 CC!!! WOW!
Its one of the nicest coins Ive ever seen period. I love it!
