Question about $3s for the group: if they weren't so danged expensive, do you think the 1854 would be recognized as a separate "type" from the rest of the series? The lettering on the reverse is quite different. In cheaper series, less obvious stuff is used to differentiate "typeness". (The canonical example being the so-called "shell case" lincoln cents of 1944-46, which many collectors recognize as a "type".)
Really nice set. I like the colors on a lot of them.

Occasionally, people have asked me to help them find a nice $3. One thing about this collection is that there is something for everyone: common date, rare date, SF coins (the O-mint coin has been sold and the D-mint coin not offered), grades ranging from VF to MS 66 to proof, and the entire span of price points. If you are looking to purchase a single $3 to have one, I think this is a great opportunity. Equally important, you get the new book for free with the purchase of one.
