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.
Why Can’t I Have My Own Money Printer?
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.
In honor of the memory of Cpl. Michael E. Thompson
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!
Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner.
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.
