I recently acquired this 50-D gold dollar. Only three more dollars to go to complete the Dahlonega gold dollar set. Special thanks to Doug Winter

Lovely coin. I wish I could afford to collect sets of stuff like that.
I only just acquired my first (and destined to be only) Dahlonega coin earlier this year.*
Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.

Still looking for the 54-D, 56-D and the elusive 61-D

Practice makes perfect & nobody is perfect. So, practice being nobody and be perfect !
The 1850-D gold dollars were very poorly made. After some research, I think the cause was that the Chief Coiner at the Dahlonega mint left in 1849 and a new, probably less experienced man took his place. I think that he was not prepared to prepare the dies for use. The 1850-D in my collection is a fatly struck EF-45.
<< <i>The LQQK of the '50 D and '58 D is scrumptious.
I agree that 58-D is verrry nice

Here is a 54-D that would fit nicely:

Most interested numismatists would agree that such a set is historically significant and further completion of it merits praise. I am glad that you shared images of your acquisitions.
Presumably, most collectors of Dahlonega Mint coins are or potentially are interested in the Southern Gold Rush and the origins of the Dahlonega Mint. Moreover,, most kids spend much more time learning about the California Gold Rush. Few U.S. citizens understand the importance of the earlier Southern Gold Rush.
