That's GREAT, Pat!!!
Impressive COMPLETE collection.
Now, you just need to upgrade that 1921 and 1916-D to MS.
You can do it!!

Congrats on the upgrades! They look quite flashy.
Angel Dees always great coins
All coins are hand selected with care!
Those look really nice! Great upgrades.
Finding those that I like are expensive and not common!!!!
Fair enough. It's a wonderful set just as it is!

Congrats!!! My question for you. Do you see a big noticeable difference in a MS 67 versus an MS 65? I’m going for this set and my highest graded ones are 65’s.
Congrats again!

Hi Jeff, there is a big difference between 65s and 67s. For the common dates, it only makes sense to go after the nicer examples when the price difference can only be $100 to a couple hundred. That said, NOT all MS67s are created equal. I have seen MS68 examples with what I would call hatchet marks in them. Avoid distracting heavy hits, carbon spots and finger prints. I have seen OGH/Rattler examples in MS65 holders be cracked out and grade MS67+ but those older holders will typically go for a premium. For the modern holders, I can see big differences between 65s and 67s. Besides marks on the coin, luster normally takes a huge leap forward in the 67s. Best of luck!

Eye appeal is the main difference
That being said let you eye be your guide!
