My set remained at the top of the All Time Finest list from the very beginning of the Registry for Early Dollar sets (2002) until last December, even beating the Amon Carter collection by nearly 5 points and the Eliasberg Collection by over 5 points. Now your set has exceeded mine by an incredible 1.5 points more! Wow!!!

Do you think the second 1798 dollar was dipped at some point? Not that I find it unattractive, in fact it's nice to see a relatively untone example in brilliant condition. It's easier to see all the design elements.

It is very satisfying to realize that such fantastic examples of early US Coinage exist and that there are people such as yourself (and others) who are willing to acquire them, care for them and share them with others who enjoy the hobby. Thank you very much for posting the photos of these wonderful coins. Ditto for your separate post of your Trade Dollars.
I would hope you can display these wonderful gems at ANA - Individually - they are treasures but together - they make fabulous music!!!! I would love to see them perform live at ANA -
Lol. Well, I had an opportunity that I couldn’t refuse on the 1804, so yes I purchased that. A couple of upgrades along the way - both 1795 coins have been upgraded with better examples...I’ll try to post pics
What fun it would be to spend a quite evening at a table, under good lighting, having this collection of early dollars spread out before you. Just you, the coins, a loupe and a favorite beverage.
Numismatic Nirvana.
Even better would be having some fellow collectors with similar coins (i.e. early MS gold, silver and copper) join you for an evening of show and tell, dinner, drinks and later a game of poker (pretend poker, or for those with big ones real poker) in which the poker chips are the slabbed coins in the collection of all of the poker players.
I can see it now:
"I will see your 1795 MS 65+ Dollar and raise you my 1802 MS 66 Eagle"
Are you some kind of anesthesiologist or something? Or hedge fund manager lol. I can't even fathom those coins and the grades. Literally mind boggling coins. Love them all

Now if you have that one...

Probably, yes.
I am unable to decide which ones I like best- The 1803 followed by the 1801 are my current favorites and I suppose that could change
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
There is drool everywhere i repeat, cleanup needed!

Thank you very much for sharing...no words can adequately describe that set IMHO.

Now if you have that one...
Probably never - they aren't really part of the early dollar series. A coin struck in 1834 dated 1804 isn't included in a circulation strike set

Wow i never get tired of looking at those historic coins!
I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
Beautiful coins Bruce!
Those are all national treasures. Thanks for sharing.

Can we see a video of the 1795 above? Amazing coin!
Sorry, don’t own it anymore
What the hell is wrong with you?
Why would anyone let such a beast go? If the damn Smithsonian had a "box o' 20", this would be in it.

Well, I’ve been known to put friends to sleep talking about coins... but that’s as close as I get to being an anesthesiologist
I never get tired of looking at these wonderful dollars.
We'll use our hands and hearts and if we must we'll use our heads.
Finally completed the overdate included set by acquiring this coin from The Type Set. (Ex: Eliasberg)
That’s a super coin! I remember it grading NGC MS66. The surfaces are about as pristine as you will ever see!
You get a “wow,”

Very Nice Set Bruce... better than Pogue! Open it up at some point and give us a peep.

That's a fantastic 1802 Bruce!
They got the grade wrong, there's graffiti.
Holy crap!
