Newps / Gold Type Set Update

Happy Saturday!
Wanted to give an update on my gold type set and share some amazing new additions. The registry link is in my signature.
First up, 1802/1 $5 in AU58 CAC. I had a really nice old holder 1802/1 in au55, which I have posted a few times. But then I saw this coin with a well-known dealer at a local show and it really spoke to me. Ended up trading in my 55 for this 58. Has great flash and color, my pictures don't really capture the character. The trueview is a little more exciting but this one is best viewed in hand.
Next up I was thrilled to acquire these 2 from a fellow collector with similar interests. First up, an excellent 1851 $5 in 62+ CAC. I had only recently purchased a nice 1857 in 58, but when I saw this coin it was an easy decision to upgrade.
These no-motto libs are hard to find in 62 or better. I love the huge date on this 1851. It makes a fantastic type coin, and a great upgrade for my set.
And last but not least, I am very excited to own my first "rattler." This 1813 $5 is a type I've been hunting for the past year. Early gold has been tougher to find, and lining up with my budget an even bigger challenge. The stars aligned for this one, and it might be the last $5 type for my set. The remaining small eagle and capped bust small diameter likely out of reach.
This 1813 has great luster and color, wonderful original surfaces. Some strike weakness on the reverse and very light adjustment marks on the obverse dont take much away. A really great coin.
I will put a poll out to the group here. I like this coin a lot. I think 58 is the right grade. (maybe it could get a plus?). Inside this holder are some plastic bits floating around. I dont know how this happens, but they are there. They are loose and move when the holder is tapped. They seem to roll on the surface of the coin which concerns me. Is there any risk of damage here, should I get it reholdered? They are a nuisance for photography but I assume the coin has more value in the old holder. Its neat but I would love to get those scraps out of there.
So I probably need to give my bank account a break for a bit, but high on my list next is a type 1 gold dollar in 65 cac. There are a couple of others that are potential adds but I think I'm done with any big purchases for the year. Have made a lot of progress on this set in a short time. Have exactly 20 coins right now, feels like a fine time to pause and enjoy.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

I love the new additions you’ve added. It’s been great going along for the ride with you as you upgrade. Can’t wait to see them all in hand.
Congratulation
Very nice coins. Love the 1802/1. Terrific color and I don’t need a loupe or my imagination to see the 2/1.
3 killer newps in one thread!
Great pick ups!

Stunning! I hope you don't mind me living vicariously through these images because the likelihood I'll ever have one of these pieces is slim to none... or 279,000,000:1 if I played the lottery!

Lovely. Early gold with original toning and surfaces are not easy to find, but are very rewarding for a US type set.
Wow!
Wow, that is one fine group of gold coins. Congrats.

Great pickups!
My first comment - it’s YOUR FAULT I damaged my keyboard, due to all of the drool coming out of my mouth as I saw and read your post!
WOW!!! What beauties, in terrific grades, and each with a CAC to boot! Getting CAC to sticker old gold is so tremendously difficult! You searched far and wide to find these gems, and your reward is having this phenomenally special collection! Congratulations! Enjoy!!!

@Pedzola... Beautiful gold additions to your set. You are building a quality set. Cheers, RickO
Thanks all for the comments. I always point back to the community here to thank for my growth in collecting over the past few years. Some who have participated directly buying and selling coins, and many others who have been generous with their time and knowledge.
I'm very happy with the set so far. Thanks to all who have helped me get here!
I just learned another exciting bit of news yesterday. I posted a thread a while back about my new high relief Saint. I traded in a 63 for this 58. I was happy to free up some $$ for other coins, but I also thought this is a REALLY nice 58! It must have been to CAC already? I sent it again anyway (through my local dealer who has also been a key partner on this journey). Not back in my hands yet, but I found this when I looked up my cert yesterday!
Very excited to "make" my first cac coin, and it's a good one! Will be anxiously awaiting its return so I can take a new slab photo.
Thanks to winesteven for getting me hooked on cac.

So exciting! Congratulations!
Now all you have to do is send it back to PCGS for “Reconsideration”. Since the graders will now see for the very first time that this coin now has a CAC sticker, MAYBE subconsciously you’ll have an edge in getting a “+” on this lovely coin? If by chance you do succeed, with Reconsideration the cert number remains the same, and since CAC ignores plus grades, for only $6 (plus round trip shipping), they’ll AUTOMATICALLY reapply the CAC sticker!
Enjoy this lovely coin! It now has its own CAC, so it no longer has to feel “embarrassed” as it hangs out with its “CAC siblings” in your phenomenal Type Set!

Wow, those are all incredibly beautiful! I can see why you'd want to take a break and enjoy what you have purchased recently. I'd love to own one of the above and I'd be happy.

Great coins. I have owned a few fat heads and regret selling those, probably my favorite type coin
Sharp looking coins - as always Pedzola!
