asheland’s Gold Type Set - new pictures - 2021

asheland

I finally dug out my gold type coins for a new group photo!

As you can see, I lack a T3 Liberty $20
I would like it in MS65, but a nice 64 would work

And here’s the shot of the type set and the others, southern, early, Canadian, extras etc.
gold dollars and quarter eagles I seemingly can’t have too many of them.

Please share your gold group photos in here. I love seeing them!
@SimpleCollector and others.

Here’s a video I took today:

And one of the Canadian 5’s:

Outstanding asheland! Some really nice branch mint gold as well!

@asheland , I really like seeing your coins and collection. As we have discussed, your initial pics years ago helped me with my vision and type set. This group photo was posted under a separate thread, but probably is better displayed here. My set expanded to include the various types, motto/no motto, and a coin from each mint.

So thanks to your earlier threads and photos, I was able to accumulate this:

I think your type II liberty double eagle is a fine coin to add to the group of 12 until a type III in grade becomes available. I might also point out that if I had your coins, I would do a pic of 13 coins.

With the Y in the center being the 1797. Awesome coin that few will own, and a great center piece.

Thanks for this thread. Looking forward to seeing lots of nice gold.

Nice accumulation ya got there. I probably have owned 7 or 8 gold coins over the years. Currently I only have a replica California token in gold.

Great looking set. Congratulations!!

Nice group! Isn't there something so satisfying about laying them all out and admiring them? When I do that, it makes me feel like a dragon.

To make it easier for me (and possibly provide better quality photos), here’s a hotlink to my 12 coin Gold Type Set digital album. I think if you hover over a coin, it’ll enlarge.

I own three other “old” gold coins, as required for other Type Sets, so I show those three slabs underneath the hotlink:

Shaweet! Noice! I just picked up my type 2 G$1 in PCGS AU55. Still need a $3 princess and the early $5 gold pieces. Then I guess I'm done for now and everything goes back into storage for a while. Think I'll start a thread like this before doing that though, so I can come here and look at the pictures instead of opening up my boxes again. They're ll in new PCGS holders with no Captain America gold shields, no green and gold jelly beans and no Mickey Mouse club stickers. I wanted a consistent look.

@asheland ... Very, very nice gold set. I have not done such a set. I have just collected some gold coins that attracted me, and the error gold coins (MS W, unfinished dies).... I put the rest of my gold interests into stacking. Maybe add a few in the coming year towards a set... Cheers, RickO

I housed my eight piece gold type set in a Capitol Plastics holder back in the 1960s. I bought the 12 piece type coin holder, but didn’t like it because the gold dollars rattled in it. I ended up storing those in individual Capital Plastics holders. I had a Whitman album at one point, but, once more, it was not good for the gold dollars. Those coins are just too small and thin.

Nice gold collection, @asheland!

Great looking set, Asheland!

Thanks for sharing. I see there are already 23 likes. Is there any way to see the identity of those beyond the most recent 10?

Not sure if the system allows that? When I click the like button above to see the full list, the result is the system removes my "like" because the number of likes dropped by one. I did hit the like button again so Ashland doesn't lose a well deserved like.

I know that when I have clicked on the list of names on a popular post of mine to attempt to see who (beyond the 10 listed) gave it a like, I get a snarky pop up warning telling me I am not allowed to like my own posts. Guess the system interprets trying to see who liked a post as trying to "like" your own post.

Very nice!!

Nice. I particularly like the southern gold.

Not sure to be honest...
