Recent Update of My Trade Dollar Showcase

Let me know what you think

Still missing a few with the 1873s and the 1876p type 2/2 and a couple of rare varieties, but the set is very close and hasn't been done too many times by collectors. I will get rid of all the crap photos when Todd comes back to the east(right) coast the fall for a Baltimore show.

    That is a wonderful set with fantastic writeups. This is an example of the Registry aiming for its highest purpose.image

    Your set continues to impress!!
    It is also a prime example of why I think PCGS should give out some "Best Of" awards in the showcase sets.
    Are you listening PCGS?

    There is no "AT" or "NT". We only have "market acceptable" or "not market acceptable.

    Great "showcase," John!!!!!
    You have to be one of the foremost Trade $1 experts in the country from what I've seen.
    Of course TDN might have a few words to say about that!!!!
    I'll see you this fall at Todd's, I mean Charmy's Baltimore booth!!! image

    Thank you all for the feedback as it looks like a major exhibit of seated coinage at the November Baltimore show is being put on and I have been invited to showcase them which would be just an amazing opportunity to show and talk shop, which I would do in a second. If it does go down I would love to chat and answer any questions any of you might have and look forward to meeting fellow forum members.

    when I saw the grades I almost didn't look at your set
    that would have been a big mistake,
    well done.

    I was privileged to see John's set up close and personal at Baltimore. Major hipness factor! The entire presentation flowed seamlessly. MJ

    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    Nice set... Your 77-P needs to be sent in for a regrade as it should be in a AU58 holder.

    or a MS61 holder, it is a stunner in hand and it's luster is alive. I have a nice assortment of undergraded. straight graded and overgraded coins but rest assured I over paid for all of them.
