Two great Upgrades!

Mr. Wondercoin swapped out some of my duplicate Standing Liberty Quarters for two great upgrades. He nailed down the 1919-S in MS67 Full head (pop 1/0) and the 1923, also in MS67 Full Head (pop 2/0).
My duplicate 1916 in MS67 Full Head was the key coin I gave up, but I bought the second knowing that its fate was to be swapped.
Thank you, Mitch for engineering the swap.
I only have the 1919-S entered so far; can't find where I wrote down the cert number for the 1923.
Take a look; a nice set.
Enjoy!

I just revisited your set on the registry and I must say I am awe struck by the quality. I hope to see it on display at a major show someday. Outstanding and virtually unsurpassable. Congratulations.

Wow, that's one heck of a set!
JHF: You are very welcome. Congratulations again on the acquisition of the "infamous" 1919(s) SLQ, as well as the 1923(p)!

Wow, very impressive!!!! What a super set!
Have you ever thought of collecting gold ? You can own a complete set of 3 Brasher Doublooons if you win them in the upcoming Heritage Auctions.

It may be hard to beat, but it will be beaten just like Maris, Sosa, McGuire, and Bonds topped Babe Ruth's once "unsurpassable" record of 60 home runs in a season.
Thank you DMWJR, Lab Lover, and Man of Coins.
Hi StewartBlayNumis:
Yes, I've thought about collecting gold many times. I love many of the gold coins series, including the Stella's and St. Gauden's Indian Head $10s. But they're so popular I can't afford them. Way, way, way too expensive for me.
Those coins are for the "big boys." I just sort of run around in the nooks and crannies that they leave for me and enjoy myself there.

Sosa,McGwire and Bonds topped Babe Ruth by using STEROIDS.
Hopefully coins will not be dependent upon some chemical formula to get higher grades than your set of Standing Quarters.

I maintain that your set is virtually unsurpassable until it is sold and a new number one set can be assembled using many of your coins for its core.

Stewart:
I think you can safely look upon grade inflation as the steroids of coin collecting.
And grade inflation is happening. I've been collecting coins for about 11 years in the era of slabbed coins and many, many of the old coins I bought back when have upgraded or crossed over.
Dear Boiler78:
Well, I'm not sure, but I hope you're right.
And where I do agree with you is this: I think it will be hard to assemble a set of Standing Liberty Quarters that's as rich and interesting as my collection.
Along with the standout coins I do have, I also have one of the only two SLQ patterns in private hands plus a wonderful collection of Standing Liberty Quarter error coins. That includes a georgeous broadstruck SLQ graded MS67 Full Head ... an SLQ struck 50% off center with enough of the date visible to read ... and about 15 other SLQ errors.
These SLQ errors are incredibly scarce and when you put them together with the regular coins, and the Standing Liberty Pattern I nailed down a few years ago, it's a really, really interesting collection to look it.
Best wishes

Very well said!
I get the impression that you really live true to your name. You really seem to "be just having fun."
I like that!
