Here is the latest addition to my 20th Century Type Set. 1921 Peace Dollar High Relief PCGS MS66. Waiting for PCGS to UPDATE my set with the new additions. I don't think I will be able to complete my set by the June deadline. Some of these coins are just to hard to find.

#1 in the Registry is just that, #1 in the Registry ONLY. By no means will I ever come close to having the top set. My #1 Ike set is not even close to the true #1 or #2 set out there. Someone out there owns a MS67 1921 Peace Dollar and MS68 Buffalo Nickel etc.... and they have chosen not to register their set. The competetion is fun but we are just competing with ourselves, not the big dogs.

That is the nicest 1921 have seen. I was excited to fine a 1925 in MS67 last year. It was the first Peace dollar I had found with real mint luster. Great find.

Don't see why you can't complete. Though you don't show your set, you have the Barbers and Peace which are the tough ones. Don't know if you have the SLQs, but they aren't hard to find in 66FH, and you can probably find a type 1 and type 3 in 67FH if you really want that grade. The rest are pretty easy at reasonable grades. Merc in 67FB, Franklin in 66FBL, Walker in MS67, 38D Buffalo in MS67, Type 1 Buffalo in 66, Washington in 67, Jeffs in 66FB, Lib 5c in 65 (or do you have a 66), anything after 64 is pretty easy and assume you have those. Higher grades than listed will be more difficult to find, but you can always upgrade later. Nothing on the above list will cost more than a couple of hundred dollars.

Still looking for a nice Liberty Nickel for the set. I purchased a MS68FB Mercury Dime recently. I do not have the SLQs yet or the Type I Buffalo but I have a lead on a MS67 at auction that I will try to get. Anonther one I need is a 67FS Jefferson. I am working on it slowly, buying the coin, not the plastic. I should jump from 60% to 71% complete when the new upgrades are posted.

Anyway they have a MS 67 from the David Hall collection at auction!!! I can't say but it looks to me like yours compares favorably...
I would say mine appears to compare very favorably but then again, my name is not David Hall and I don't own a stake in PCGS. Comparing pictures alone, I would rather have mine What is your opinion?
That 67 is great, until you factor in the carbon spot on the eye. That alone drops it into 66 league, and yours is one of the nicest 66's I have seen.
CU-hosted pics are notoriously squirrely. In and out.
The reverse strike is nice and strong too!
Someday I'll own one too.
