My flyers

I am happy with the set as it stands. I will never be able to compete with the fantastic sets above me and surely will only move downward in the future in regards to the rankings. I didn't want to upgrade the common ones because they would overshadow the 2 keys. So, I decided to send it in to get my name on it (which is the same as my son's.- he is John IV tho) while I am still able to do so. My son will have all of my coins someday and I am sure he will like the pedigree.

My plans now are to sell my '56 that got upgraded and then in the near future to begin trying to build a complete set of the clashed die FE's of 1857. That will surely be time consuming and wallet on the one.

I would hope that sometime in the future PCGS would add the clashed dies as optional coins to the set or even have a varieties set.

I have to thank my wife for allowing me to buy such a coin as the 1856. It took me a while to pay for it but it's all mine now. My grandpa would drop if he saw that I currently own a pair of '56 FE's. It's all his fault that I started this hobby. He used to make me look at his FE's to see if any of the really worn ones looked like 1856's! LOL!!!

    I stumped my granddad with a MS-65 Barber Half one day. Not in the same league as that 1856 FE, but it made him feel good to see that I had continued his hobby.

    Congrats on the great set.

    Just in time. Did you see the new set? link

    All he needs is a 1858 SL in MS65 or better (pop 30/4) and we will have a new number one (the pop 99 MS64 will put him in a tie)

    Hope he puts up a pic of his 1958 LL MS67 pop 1/0

    Congrats on finishing the set. the pics are great

    That 1856 is a beauty. Congrats on completing the set! The FE series is probably my favorite. It is a great design.

    I would have to agree with you re: a variety set for the FE series - the clashed die coins and the type of 56 are probably the "keys" - keep lobbying...it may happen!

    You've built a nice collection. When I got home last night, I found a package with a Red Book in it. Thanks, Goose!image I've read about 10 pages of it so far. It's a great book.

    Is that just a reholder fee??

    Send us a pic when you get them back - would love to see it.

    Great set John! Beautiful coins. It must be nice to have a 56 that nice. I also like your idea of keeping them all in AU grades. Makes a very pretty set!

    Goose,

    What a great series. I've always loved the Flying Eagles. I LOVE that 1856!

    Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
