    Cool pics. Glad to finally see you adding some. Boone still looks ugly, but boy do some of these pieces improve in lower grade.

    Wonder if 50 years and some circulation would help the Shriver commem?

    congratulations on your pop one selections.

    does pcgs give you a discount for such volume slabbing?

    Very cool. Some of the AG03's are stunning.

    Bill, I bought that one at Long Beach about eight years ago. It was in a paper envelope marked as an XF40- a grade I agreed with. I had NEVER heard or seen of a New Rochelle that was anything less than UNC.
    Why PCGS gave this one an AU55 grade is beyond me. It has wear of an XF and NO luster whatsoever.
    It's an even gray with that type of XF toning on the rims silver coin take up.

    Until I find a downgrade I'm stuck with this one.

    Cool set Pat!

    I guess if you can't have the best of the best, you can always try for the worst of the worst! I bet it is harder to find some of the coins in your set then some coins that cost thousands.

    Pat that's not fair. I think you got ripped and PCGS should downgrade it for free.

    I can't believe my "ex" PO-01 Columbian is a pop 2 coin.

    The Oregon looks much better than F15. The Lafayette looks corroded.

    Pat: Well done!!

    When you finish it, one day, the set is destined for a major auction!! image Wondercoin

    Thanks Mitch- but I think my kids are in for a rude awakening when "sets" (and I use that term loosely!) like this hit the auction block.

    Greg- I was also surprised to see a second PO01 made of the Columbian. I can only guess it belongs to Higashiyama as his FA02 would be listed under the same column as my PO01.
    Speaking of Higashiyama- he's now ahead of me! Better (lower grade) Commemoratives in his set! image Dang! Competition. image

    You know what I'll be doing at Long Beach this next go around. image

    I love when people have fun with their sets; too many people
    take this hobby too seriously. If you are not having fun, then
    you are not doing it right! Great set, and remember, I would be
    honored to sell you my PO-01 Chain Cent for your Type Set if you
    ever come across a FR-02! ( I doubt my budget could handle a
    G-04!!)

    I think it's amazing that the 1893 Columbian PO01 is POP 2 coin and that somewhere out there it has a twinimage

    Pat I have faith in you. You can do worse if you really try.

    Hi Pat --

    Thanks for the pictures!!! This series really has a lot of character when worn. The Pilgrim especially looks great -- very somber -- when well worn.

    PCGS seems to be surprisingly consistent in grading these things. Several of my circulated commems are on one side or the other of yours. (With my wife's help), I try to get some images of mine to post a side by side comparison.

    The New Rochelle, even in AU55, is quite a find!
