    The set is phenominal!! It would be worth the trip to LA just to see them. Unfortunately, I cannot attend the ANA this year. Please, please, please display the set at Boston next summerimage

    I personally and publicly thank you Bruce for honoring my request. I fully respect the value of your time and

    appreciate even more the mutual respect you have shown me by this favor. I'm a blue collar guy that could

    never expect to personally possess such quality, so it means a great deal to have the opportunity to enjoy

    these vicariously through your willingness to share the images this way.image

    Absolutely stunning and I still visit your site often to view them individually.

    Are these all currently owned or does this include some that were sold?

    Someday I would love to have an equal set in eye appeal for my classic heads. image

    Each of the coins is currently in the set. It was requested recently that I name a price for the set and I simply replied "too much". image

    Bruce,

    I see why you buy sets to upgrade them.

    Although this one still has a way to go it shows promise.

    Good Luck

    Thanks for posting pictures of your trade dollar set. Simply beautiful coins. The acquistion and assembly of your set must be quite satisfying for you ("The thrill is in the hunt"). Due to modern technology we here on the forums are lucky to be able to see pictures of your collection.

    Thanks again.

    I've always said that if I could pick one coin for type out of the "forum collective collection", I would without a doubt choose the 1876 trade dollar. A killer killer killer coin.

    A question about logistics when viewing these coins:

    What sort of drool bib does an adult use? The commonly available ones seem to be designed for infants.

    This is too small.

    With a set this serious, do you require a serious approach such as having your saliva glands surgically removed before viewing?


    It must be hypnotic, watching the luster wheel around these coins as you slowly turn them; watching the color reflections.

    I love this set, & Ive never really had any interest in T$1's, but this set makes me want more than whats needed for my type set.

    Out of all those amazing coins, one kept calling me back to it TDN, that 1877 CC!!! WOW!
    Its one of the nicest coins Ive ever seen period. I love it!
