I started a Birthyear Proof Set in honor of my Grandmother four years ago and this weekend I
located the last coin needed, a magnificent looking Morgan Dollar in PCGS PR 64 CAM.
Here is the Ellen Gorman Hayes Birthyear Set:
Indian Head Cent - PCGS PR 66 RB:
...the scratches are on the holder
Liberty Head Nickel - PCGS PR 66:
Barber Dime - PCGS PR 66:
Barber Quarter - PCGS PR 66 CAM:
Barber Half - PCGS PR 65:
The New Purchase:
Morgan Dollar - PCGS PR 64 CAM:

I put together a 93 proof set and then sold it in a Heritage Auction a couple of years back. Looking at your set sure did make me miss mine. I love those old proof sets even if they are assembled one coin at a time. Yours is a great looking matched set.
Very nice.

I did a raw one for my mom (1945) and my son and I.
I have thought about doing my son's -100 years (1902) or minus 200 years (1802) but that is a bit above what I can do right now.
I do have him a raw copper for 1802 and some of the 1902 coins, but NO WHERE near as nice as the ones you post in honor of your grandmother. Very nice!
