New set- I debuted at #4 current/#6 all time... WITH A SINGLE COIN! LOL

I took the plunge. Having belatedly deleted my gold set last night, I spent less than 24 hours without a set registered.
This one is my first single-coin set. With the addition just one more coin of a similar grade to the first, I'll hop into #3 current/#5 all-time, haha. Nine more coins and it's finished. But that'll take some time!
It's kinda fun, to see my name in lights, not far below that of Eliasberg!
The new set:
Lord Marcovan's Two Cents' Worth
The coin: an 1868 PR64 RD 2c piece (which will be my new icon as soon as the next Open Upload Day rolls around):

If you want to gain a high ranking quickly, try this set on for size:
Watch out world, here I come!
However, checking the rankings here, I am a bit perturbed because in the past 6 months I fell from #2, just behind quattrocoins, to my present lowly position...

NICE piece!
Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
Great looking coin! I really like the cameo look.
Does it look as good in person?
How about an image of the reverse?
RGL- nice to see you again. I was thinkin' about you earlier tonight when I was resurrecting some pictures from my old Virtual Type Set from back in July.
Mark- I think somebody pointed out the lack of activity on Barber quarters a year ago, and I was shocked. I am still shocked, especially in light of how few nearly-complete sets there are, too. At the time, I had a PCGS MS64 1916 in my type set, and thought about jumping in with that single coin. (Have since sold that beauty to a fellow forum member, but I just grabbed an MS64 1916-D for a song on eBay). Definitely a neglected series, and that's surprising to me, much more surprising than the paucity of 2c collectors.
Speaking of that 1916 quarter, and pictures from my old Virtual Type Set. (Coin was much whiter in person).
Dpoole- I'm glad you haven't pulled the trigger yet. I'm not so sure I wanna share my quiet little pool. You might jump in and make a big splash!
Russ- this whole thing is your fault, you know. You started it all some weeks back, by pointing out that bodacious, colorful PR66 RB 2-center that Pinnacle had, which I missed the boat on...
If you are planning to switch icons, personally I prefer the reverse of the 2 cent piece to the obverse. I suspect others would disagree. However, your computer skills seem high level, so might you consider making an icon that switches from the obverse to the reverse and then back again?

Just thought I'd drop one of mine in here.

I added a picture of the coin to my set, now.
Russ- your pic didn't work.
You should attach pictures to your set.

I know. Both.
Hey, Russ- I cannot believe that coin is only MS62 RB. I might have said that before. I don't know what you paid for it, but I would imagine it packs a LOT of bang for the buck!
$97.
