Finished my Peace Dollar date set

Started ~2 years ago after I picked up the 1923 example for my type set that I really liked (all four of my side sets started this way). It's only a 10 coin set without the branch mints, so it's very approachable.
I'm a toner guy in almost every other series, but I love these big dollars bright and lustrous. That and a clean cheek were my main criteria. I thought about doing a CAC only set, but decided against it. I upgraded 3—the 1921, 1922 and 1927.
My favorite coin is the 1928, which I bought in a 64 holder and got it bumped to a 64+ on a Reconsideration submission. If I decide to sell the set, I'd probably keep that one even though it's not the highest grade. 
Nothing is as expensive as free money.

Very, very nice!
Before I read the note, I was drawn to the images, and the 28 (and 35) just seemed like a "perfect" coins for such a set.
Congratulations!
I'm also a toning fan, but Peace Dollars look great white or near white, especially when Very Choice and Gem

A great overall look and a beautiful set! Well-struck on the top of the facing wing, and strong definition and separation of the hair next to Liberty’s cheek. Congratulations!
What a fantastic accomplishment! I agree that peace dollars look great in white, I would probably opt to do the same if I were to do a date run. The ‘28 sure is hammered, I love the design when it’s fully struck out like that.

Nice choice examples and well matched.
Love this!!!! Super job. The 1926 is a standout for me!!!
Great looking set. The 1923 looks like a real standout, as does the 1934.
Congrats!

Beautiful set!! The 1934 is my favorite with that light, even golden tone and well struck design details..
Great looking set!

In any case, you've chosen coins that have a lot of character! Congratulations!
Well done

You've built a great set, nice job on these!
Congrats on your set of gemmies. Beautiful coins. I’m hoping to complete a set someday..not an easy task due to the crazy money being asked.
You put together an absolutely beautiful set! I’m also working on the same set, not yet complete. Like you, I love the concept of a DATE Set, which allows us to pick and choose which Mint coin to use for each year. One can go with a more common one, or with a tougher mint.
Congratulations!

Outstanding!
That 1921 is incredible - especially for an MS63
Your 23 is also very white, rare with that date. Even though the 28 P is a rare date with low mintage, I think the 27 is actually harder to find in blast white. Yours is slightly toned - I finally upgraded my 27 to a blast white one and it’s now my favorite coin. Your 26 is outstanding - rhat is another one hard to get in blast white!
I have all the P mints but I do plan to get a few varied S and D mints … the 35S is stunning imo - one of the best S mint dates imo (in terms of blast white well struck, lustery, etc)
This is a beautiful set, enjoy it always.
Thanks everyone for the compliments! It does feel like an accomplishment as it took a lot of time and effort to cherry-pick the most eye appealing examples possible within my budget and criteria.
@Che_Grapes sounds like you know this series well. Yes, I looked at a LOT of ugly ‘21s before that one came along. I’d love a higher grade but they get out of reach quickly. The ‘23 was my first one and the one that got me hooked.
I’ll probably send the non-stickered examples to CAC—I feel like a few have a strong shot. I was thinking about selling off the set but now I’m thinking I’ll hold onto them. Here’s a group shot of these lovely ladies:

Great, great set! Keep it!

Sometime the Trueview does not capture the coin in hand ... but it does look like this time they nailed it and nice representation.. a great looking set. Congrats

Nice set and super to view. Did it take long to acquire the 28?
My guess is once he saw that great 1928, it only took him a few minutes to acquire it, lol. 😆

WOW !!! Never had a lot of interest in Peace Dollars. UNTIL NOW!!! You sir, have a beautiful set of dollars there.
That’s exactly what happened. Someone tossed it on eBay for a reasonable BIN, and it was an insta-buy. And I got it upgraded to a 64+ in January, so I’ve had it for at least a year.

Where's the 2021 and 2023?
Fantastic set. How long did it take you?
Really nice...I hope the one I am working on turns out like that!

Beautiful set! Something definitely to be proud of - congrats!
I am a newer collector (started April 2020), and I primarily focus on U.S. Half Cents and Type Coins. Early copper is my favorite.
Gorgeous!

Your hard work has paid off. Magnifico!
Fresh beaners! 3 of the 7 non-CAC coins passed, so the majority of the set (6/10) is now CAC approved.
Notably, the ‘35 was previously green beaned in a 64 slab. Only found this out when I looked up the certs.

Congratulations on a beautiful set (and the stickers!)
