Fantasy Date Set of Bust Quarters w/ Color!

I've been roving the internet looking for the most eye appealing (MS) Bust Quarters.
In doing so I thought I'd share my little outcome and see what you think.

I still need to work on the cropping outlines, as the pixels still leave some of their original white background showing.
I also can't make it any larger, unless you want to look at a blurry image!!!

So, what do you think? I'm thinking of working on a set for each of the Silver Bust coins.

Update: added the 1823/2

    Don't let Stewart Blay see your poster, his 1807 isn't on it! And it's the finest silver coin out there! (according to him and i'm not gonna disagree, it looks pretty nice!)

    Nice concept. Honestly, one of the reasons I sold my proof seated dollars is cuz I was happier with the pictures than the coins themselves! image

    I think I would use the 1796 that is floating around on these boards as people's icon, and Stewart's 1807. Nice set, though!

    The set is missing the 1823/2. Real tough one to find, but not as tough as the 1827.

    Rich, the highest grade 1823 I could find was an EF-40 or VF-30.

    I quietly decided to leave it out.
    It also would have messed up the symmetry with the DBQ's on top, Lg size CBQ's in the middle, and the Sm. size CBQ's on the bottom.

    Nice pics, but the reduced size pieces, beginning in 1831, don't look very small.

    PM me if you are looking for U.S. auction catalogs

    Interesting concept. Have you thought about adding the reverses? Cleaning up the cropping would help. Having it bit larger may also help.

    You can also turn all of them into avatars image

    I think it is a great idea. Have you gone through all of the bust posts on these boards?
