Well, the latest addition to the progressing box of 20 gold stickered $20 Lib Gold. ...and I have to say that I haven’t ever seen another $20 Lib that looks like this one... The PL around the devices is pretty cool.
Would love thoughts from the group on her... I tried to provide multiple angles for you to accurately see her for what she is.

...the whole group together... 1 away from half way to 20:
Well done !!
I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
Awesome addition. ⭐️ But it’s an OBH ! ....... I suppose as long as you keep everything ‘no-prong’ then you’re still technically doing all old slabs. 😎
If I saw that group sitting in a case at a show I would most definitely stop and inspect. 👀
I like your '74-CC $20! This date/mint doesn't often come with PL surfaces. I was tracking this one during the recent HA auction. Your photos don't do the coin justice. Congrats!
I love those beauties! Well done on the CC!

It's way cool to see stuff like this. Its wirth the wait
Wow! Gold bean, CC....what’s not to love? What an incredible project and a hell of an undertaking. Wish we could sticky this thread so I don’t miss a second of it. And what is with that gold beaned doily?? That is in a league of its own!

What's neat is, I have an 1855-S $20 P40 CAC Gold and it is consecutively numbered with yours. I wonder if there were others?
Beautiful coin and superb collection... gold beans and two CC's....WOW!! Cheers, RickO
Incredible coin Leeroy.
Leeroy the collection is incredible. I love the videos of the 74cc. It really shows what a true Proof like coin looks like. 🤤
Gold on green on gold. Awesome!

I would love to know which one is everyone’s favorite of the group... all things considered...?
,,,
There are too many new threads all at once... hit
Nice effort!
RE: I would love to know which one is everyone’s favorite of the group... all things considered
All things considered, it would be hard to argue against the 74-CC as the centerpiece of these 9.
I agree with PQueue, the '74-CC gets my vote. It along with the '66-S are the toughest of the group to find with nice eye appeal.
Nice!
That sir, is one outstanding box you are building!!
Favorite? Wow, that would take some doing. I think the new one looks good in the center.
They all look pretty sweet ... I kind of like the look of the 60-S, 66-S, 79-S and 90-CC. It might be partially the lighting that makes those stand out more, but they all seem to have a matching, absolutely original "carried" look.
And how kewl is it that @ranshdow has the sister 55-S, still in the same consecutive holder and also with the gold bean?!

So hard to choose a favorite. Having seen the video of your new 74cc it screams PL with flashy surfaces. I’d say it is definitely the centerpiece.
Yep. I believe the ‘74-cc is my favorite too...
Would love more thoughts on the 74-cc and the set as well as it comes along...
I love the dirty old gold BUT I would have to say the 74cc. I love the photo on the auction house’s website of the coin in the slab. From that picture you can really tell the coin is PQ. After seeing a video of the coin it’s even more amazing. I feel if the coin was represented better it would have gone even higher. A great pick up and congratulation!!!!
I missed the video. Is it linked in this thread? Would love to see it.
Sent you a PM, Bloodman
@Leeroybrown
Congrats on a lovely coin! How do you think your 74-CC would grade today based on current standards?
@skier07,
Looking at her in hand, I believe the obverse is a AU55/58 and the reverse is MS60/61 for sure.
...looking at her compared to my two AU55 gold cac’s, I believe her to be higher grade, less ware, and more in-tact, reflective surfaces and definitely way more eye appeal than any of the others.
Anybody else have any opinions about the grade???
Spectacular !!!
High AU but not MS...
I agree @jonruns. Appreciate your thoughts and assessment of the grade.
nice great collection! here's my set:
collection criteria:
1. the look. i want a coin that has the look these have, and looks good next to the rest of this set
2. green holder, because i like green holders.
3. prefer cac, but i will not pass on a coin for reason number 1 above. if it has the look...i don't care about the bean (as you can see).
4. dates: first of issue, civil war, centennial, at least one low mintage/scarce date
5. all of the types (I, II, III) and mint marks represented.
6. box of twenty.
so, i have a way to go to meet all those criteria...but that's what makes it fun, right?
Love your taste... seems very familiar, but I can’t put a finger on it... 😂
Very very nice indeed!
Great looking coins guys, as requested! Here’s a few $20 libs I have. Thanks for the post steveben.
Incredible pieces you guys have. Between the 3 of you there are not very many left for the rest of us...
Jees, you too with a '55-S $20 P40 CAC gold? That makes 3 of the 6 in the CAC census.
Beautiful pieces Pickwickjr !!! Love them all !!!
@Pickwickjr nice coins!
Wow, nice group. Congrats.
