Off the charts!!!!!! Outstanding....... The dollar set digital album is a mind blower. I've seen some of these coins in hand but would love to see them displayed all together ......... maybe at a future major show?????

Of the coins that "TECHNICALLY" have finer known examples in the PCGS Pops...and for the ones that you AGREE with of course...if some of them became available, would you entertain the idea of improving the set or is the set done? Or have you already seen all of the "finer" examples to determine that they are not for you?

This is a great question and actually one that requires a new train of thought for me. Whereas before as an individual set I paid whatever it took to buy finer examples even within the grade, now it is part if a much larger dollar set. Accordingly, each opportunity will be weighed on a cost vs stature basis - to the whole set. I have already declined a couple of opportunities to upgrade the set where the cost outweighed the small increase in quality - rather the funds will be reserved for future use such as acquiring a gem early dollar or two from the Pogue Collection.
There are definitely seated dollars out there that will improve the set. But they must be weighed against better opportunities now.

Thanks so much for the reply. What is the status/plan for the 1870-CC? Did you have one before and now need to replace it?

IIRC, the PCGS/CAC MS63 1870-CC was replaced by an MS64 coin that didn't cross or sticker. When the opportunity came to sell the set, the buyer preferred not to buy that new coin but rather to wait for a PCGS/CAC example. One never came along in seven years!
All I can say is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not just the album but the very beautiful coins in it. You have done an AMAZING job putting this collection together. Congratulations!!
The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

Wow, good luck finding a suitable example for your set!

Superb, but you already knew that. The title reminds me of a very funny tale . The punchline is : "And you have a very nice home too, boss". It's a contractor's joke so I will refrain, but I know you would appreciate it, Mister.
You sold your soul to the devil didnt you........if so, I approve
Just wow

On a serious note, this is one incredible accomplishment. It would be a real pleasure to see all of the dollar sets displayed together.

Can you share with us the reason behind having sold the set in the first place, and what led you to now desire to reacquire it?
Congratulations on the purchase in any account. You are certainly acquiring an historically notable set.

I had no idea that TDN was in charge. I knew he had a piece of Legend but always thought just as an investor.
Anyway, what a wonderful set of coins and congrats to TDN and Legend on the acquisition.

Hey, I never heard that term "stature" before in coin collecting!
I remember it being fabulous.

Lol. Sometimes, opportunity is more important than price. And in rare instances, both align.
