    i don't have any in my personal collection and have sold the ones i have had

    but

    those designs are amongst the most beautiful to me, great obverse and reverse

    especially the silver composition with the specific toning these issues take on, very nice
    .

    Nice set... How many days until it will be available for bidding on Ebay image

    It's not mine, and it's not for sale as of yet. I made that mistake with the gold bean 1804 Half Cent and got (rightfully) slammed.

    I wonder why the 5c is a PF, as it doesn't make any sense to me.

    It doesn't look like a proof in the photo. You might want to get that re-encapsulated.

    I firmly believe in numismatics as the world's greatest hobby, but recognize that this is a luxury and without collectors, we can all spend/melt our collections/inventories.

    I don't think it is either. When I go to Baltimore, I am going to resubmit that and/or talk to Dave Lange before.

    I agree with Julian- seems there was an error

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    I think these have tremendous upside. They are decently scarce too

    The designs are truly beautiful. I have a few in my collection that my grandfather brought back from WWII.

    Nice set. I have seen a fair amount of PI coinage (silver) and they have some of the best luster of any coins I have seen.

    I am going to call Dave Lange on Monday to see what the deal is.

    This set was reportedly purchased at the 1904 World's Fair by the person's grandfather. Regrettably, there's no documentation.

    Thanks for the compliments. I forgot to add the 1C when I first posted it, but it's there now. My favorite is the 20C; it's got even more luster in person.

    Nice set! I like it. It would be interesting to follow up on that nickel...
