I plan to do as much of it as I can with ANACS photo certs. That way I won't have to crack coins out of holders.

Need a Barber Half with ANACS photo certificate. If you have one for sale please PM me. Current Ebay auctions

    I'll probably keep them in a small photo album.

    Ive got a few anacs photo certs. MS65/65.
    They must not have done PL or DMPL back then because one of them is a nice PL.

    I'll start with 1881 because I already have 3 examples I already own to choose from. The two toned pieces are graded 63/65. I prefer both of those to the blast white piece in the capitol holder. Which toned piece would you choose if putting together a date set? Not really worried about matching pieces other than luster. I would like pieces with full luster.

    I prefer the cleaner cheek on Ms. Liberty on the first toned example. But the gorgeous reverse toning on the second coin trumps that - I’ll take it, please.

    I'd be ever so slightly concerned about slide marks using these albums. I suppose if you're careful all is good.

    If it just weren't for that palm print on the obverse, it would be a no brainer.
