So what's next?

BryceM

I like it!

...... but no 1921, no 1927-D, 1933????

Very nice. It looks like there are about 26 Saints that can be had in MS63 for $2500 or below, most for just a bit over $2000.

08 motto, 09, 11, 12, 13, 15 a bit tougher of the 26.

Obsolete choice coins and a big hunk of gold, you can't beat that combination.

lordmarcovan

That box is gettin' heavy by now, I'll bet!

You need some Libs in there with your Saints, for a little variety.

nibanny

Wow, glad you choosed the Saints for you project!
It's gonna be an amazing box!

LukeMarshall

Great progress comrade...

I think it is an excellent idea for constructing a memorable Box of $20. I love it!

The 1914 St. Gaudens looks nice in MS-63. Was this hard to obtain?

TwoSides2aCoin

20 boxes of $20's like that and you can trade up to an early copper coin. Isn't that amazing to think about ?

Coinosaurus

I like this 20 of $20 idea. I got 5% further yesteday

lava

Go for 40.

Not really. Because of my location I don't have access to shows or shops so I buy off internet sites. I only buy coins that I can look at with magnification. I eliminate coins with black spots or copper spots, minimal hits in the field.

Interesting you should ask. I'm taking a little break. I have to keep my powder dry for a new home purchase on the Islands.

Are there any local dealers on Oahu?

One can never be certain based on pics, but the '16-S and '27 stand out to my eye. Congrats!

Nothing beats $20 gold pieces. Well, almost

-Updates-
1. The 1923 was added 2/14/13

2. I found this Saint at the Honolulu Coin Show on Saturday. It's a replacement coin.

1928 PCGS MS63



3. I had to sell the 1924 and 1928 because our move required the extra cash. I was now down to 9 coins and my Set Registry ranking had dropped from 33 to 41. Sad face. But I was able to replace the 1928 with a better looking coin at the show ($1525). I'm back up to #38.

4. So, the Box o' $20 project had progressed rapidly to eleven coins by February (started late last December) including the above mentioned 1923 before our move in June. I had enough funds with the sale of my coins last fall to complete the Box o' $20 to include the High Relief in -63, but our "adventure" cost more than planned, it always does, right. It's like the scene from It's a Wonderful Life but with George Bailey saying..."you got it all wrong, the Saints aren't in the bank, there, there, there...in renman's house."

Speaking of Baley, comrade baley requested a specific pic once I settled in...

Here's my new 1928 chillaxing with a foo foo drink and basking in the Hawaiian sunset glow(@Longboard's in Ko Olina).

This concept for collecting has a certain appeal to me, too. But like the old potato chip commercial: "nobody can do just one" lol

Very nice cant go wrong if it was just Gold. But you have some nice Dates as well.

RollSearcher

Very nice! I can't believe I missed this thread the first time around, as I was waiting to see how you were doing with it. Looking really good so far!

I know, right, seeing how you are partly responsible.

Very appealing coins!
