I completed my set in MS64. This is the only toned coin in my set but it's my favorite. Since my set is now complete that can't mean I'm done buying coins can it? Oh good, I can expand into the 12 piece set now.

Good job!
Can you show us the reverse?
I like the 12 piece gold type set too. See you over there.
I have seen some red toning similar to that on some of the modern Gold Eagles after they have been slabbed but not on a classic. Very nice looking coin. Congratulations on your set also. The 12 coin set is even more fun! That ~*@#&*% Type 2 $1 can be tuff!!!

In God We Trust.... all others pay in Gold and Silver!
Both Carl and daBigK both have great sets - you need to add pictures.

For US coinage reverses, I place it in the top 3.
(A moot point since my set isn't really my set, anymore, as of yesterday. Got the check in the mail. Off to shop for colorful proof Seated stuff and perhaps a 2c piece or two, as soon as my gold is comfortably ensconced in its new home.)
I'm gonna leave mine up for the moment, but it'll probably be retired when it safely reaches its new owner. This was a fun little set to do, and I might have another go at it one day. This set taught me to like short sets. It's the only way a guy on my budget can effectively compete, probably. The 2c proofs are an appealingly short set off the beaten path, and in the 19th century, which is where I wanna be.
(Edit: I've got proof 2 cent pieces on the brain, LOL. I meant a picture of your 20 cent proof.)
