The United States Mint American Innovation $1 Coin Program is a multi-year series to honor innovation and innovators by issuing $1 coins for each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia and the five U. S. territories – Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands.
Four new $1 coins with distinctive reverse designs will be released each year from 2019 through 2032 in the order the states ratified the Constitution of the United States or were admitted to the Union. Once a coin is issued for each state, coins will be released for the District of Columbia and the territories.

My family and I are putting together a PCGS Silver American Eagle complete set Proof and Mint. Trying to get all MS/PR 69+ Some dates will be fillers as 68s, but when I get to 100%, it'll give us something to work on by upgrading.
Awesome man!

I’ve lately become very interested in Spanish Colonial Cobs
That is the most interesting thing I've seen in awhile man! Kudos. I know know nothing about them. Please elaborate,

This is where me and the others can actually learn something and not bicker. You obviously know something about these and I personally would love to know what we're lookin at.

I am currently transferring my Kennedy halves,Washington quarters, and Franklin halves out of 3 ring binders and placing them in Whitman folders. Hands on coin fun.
Gray side coins - trying to complete Newfoundland 5 and 10 cent denominations. I don't know which side Philippine coins are on, but I'm working on them also. Oh, yeah and a Panama type set.
Short set of walkers all in small white ANACS holders, various grades from AU58 thru MS66.

I am trying to upgrade any of my sets. I have not had very much luck this year.
Still working on downgrades for my lowball classic commems set and lowball gold commem set. Also looking for any AU or lower commems that will fit in my 144 set
Lafayette Grading Set
Working on the Dollar Type Set on the PCGS registry. Currently I have one of each from the Morgan $ through the Innovation $. I have a No Motto Seated Dollar and Trade Dollar being graded at PCGS that I'm hoping will come back problem-free so I can boost my set. For my most recent purchase, I upgraded my MS65 Peace Dollar to a 65+. Just got it in the mail today and it was a good value to me just being a couple small hits away from a 66.
Washington quarter set in an old library of coins album and a toned indian quarter eagle date set.
$5 US gold coins and Mexican 8 Reales.
18th century type. Need two (DB SE 10c and FH $1.00) before I go after the 6 or 7 big boys. My constant never-ending lifetime project is 18th century medals by Jean Dassier et fils.
Wow!!! So many interesting pursuits!!!!!! Very inspired!!!!

The three sets I’m working on (very slowly now):
USPI
French sower 1 Francs silver (1898-1920)
Gold Dollars (mostly date run but some branches)
I love the Seated Liberty quarters. I have been buying these quarters in VF20 to XF45 when I see one I like.
"Art school" art
He who knows he has enough is rich.
If I could own only a single example of a Peace dollar, this would be it!
I am working on a $5 gold Indian year set (9 coins total) all in ms 62 condition or better. These Indians need to be flashy with clean fields, so I am being picky. I also just purchased my first MS Morgan dollar minted in Carson City, I will eventually try to get most if not all of the Morgan’s minted in Carson City, some of them will not be MS.

I agree with you. And thank you if were referring to my exact coin and not just the grade. I don't think there's much value in the price jump from 65 to 66. PCGS Price Guide for the 1923 is $125 in 65 and $400 in 66. I got this one for $170 and it is so close to a 66 that I am very happy with it.
My quarantine project has been to go through 25 years of accumulation and organize everything into 2x2 safety flips and boxes. I've ended up with an embarrassing number of duplicates for my main sets and through cherrypicking. Once I understand what I have the sell off can begin in earnest.
