Nice group!
I was wondering why the 1884-CC $20 was missing from the DWN preview.
The 91-CC $5, IIRC, is the most common CC gold coin (all denominations). The 1850 $20 is pretty common, too. It's been a favorite date/issue of mine for some time.
I like the 1856-o 10 followed by the 1884-cc 20
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Very nice with all but two mints represented....Charlotte and Denver.....must be next!

Gorgeous. I'm gold with envy.
you're a dirty (g)old man.

Nah, there is no "next".
Love the 91-CC
it's just too nice to let go!
are you guys making a lot of money off that coin? ;-)
Only the USPS is seeing net revenue.
The 45-D and the 91-CC are my favorites for the toning.
Would love to see what else remains of your set.

It's like the Red Violin of numismatics.
I believe I own the twin to that 1844-O half eagle.

I like them all, but the 45-D and the Saint are my favorites. The luster on that 09-S Saint is really something.
I have nothing to say but WOW.
My most attractive $2.50's are almost exclusively ex-RYK DOG's.

Acquiring ex-RYK coins is one of my favorite games. Seems like that game's about over though.
Nice, but I bet Mrs. RYK's kitchen is nicer?
Fantasico and belisimo

Robert,
You should have seen the 1850 I had earlier this past year. Smokin, came back 58 . One of the local gold buying shops bought 4 $20 Libs , needed to turn the cash fast, so I worked out a deal, but didn't know what was included in the bag. when he brought them to me, and he handed me the bag with the 4 20's. Handed him the cash and went on my merry way, I like to sht when I looked in side, all typical 20's in vf-xf range, and the lone really choice 1850. Lets just say I kicked but on the deal, sold the 1850 for over double what the whole bag of 20's cost. Wish I still had a pic
Fantastic!

Nice coins. What made you choose to keep these specific seven? Are you leaving collecting for good? If so, I'm sorry to see you go.
Me too! Especially the 91-CC.
Over the last 5 years, I have been reducing the collection. Going into 2017, I was done to 45 coins (from 120 or so at the peak). I put the coins into two piles--coins that I could not sell and the rest. I made an exception with the Crawford-Simpson Saints--I just decided to pick one and picked the least valuable--just to have one Saint.
I wanted to keep just five. The 56-O $10 and 91-CC $5 were rescued from the discard pile when I realized that I could not likely get what they are really worth (grade is holding back eye appeal). So I just kept them.
I like the look of the 1844 O, and of course, for me, CC gold is prime....Very nice coins.... Sorry to see you leave the gold collecting world... you have/had magnificent coins... another loss, much like losing Saintguru from gold saint collecting...
Cheers, RickO
That is a very nice collection. I have long been attracted to the 1850 double eagle as the first of its kind, after I saw a very nice AU-58 years ago at the JJ Teaparty store when they ran a ground floor shop in Boston.
It looks like he and Boosi are playing "keep-away" with the 45-D, trying to set up some wordy cataloger of the future to write descriptive prose saying, "a ping-ponging provenance that would make a squirrel trying to decide how to continue across the road blush. Here's your chance to take out the squirrel and take home this prized southern gold acorn."
I do have a couple ex-RYK coins in my $5 Lib. mint mark set:
Keeper of the VAM Catalog • Professional Coin Imaging • Prime Number Set • World Coins in Early America • British Trade Dollars • Variety Attribution
New Orleans mint gold UNDERRATED!
Nice set to put together is the original 7 mints on the same coin. There is only one possibility- the $5 Liberty series.
