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:

    Congrats on a great looking set of coins.

    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. image

    VERY cool!

    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!

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
