Finding upgrades to this set has become a challenge. There are still several dates I would like to upgrade, but some I think are set for good. All are PCGS straight graded. I had a decent purple toned 1913, but just bought this one today. The new 1913 upgraded the toning AND the grade (though toning is most important to me in this set).

    I like both pieces. On the AU53 I like how the color stayed embedded in the recessed areas.

    That's a helluva set! I'm trying to assemble an AU55-58 set with nice original color myself.

    It went higher than I was hoping for.. but still a decent amount under my high bid, thankfully.

    If you bought that from Great Toning, it’s an ex wingedliberty coin.

    Such a cool set. Many of the coins are common. The look is not. I love how you’re doing it “your way”.

    You have the prettiest gold Indian set I’ve ever laid my eyes on. You and I have the same taste in collecting.
    Very impressive.
    Thanks for sharing , Joe

    Talk about eye candy....geez. Amazing.

    Toned U.S. gold is so darn challenging. Man, what a wonderful set...can't imagine the time (and $$$) you've spent locating these examples. Well, well done!

    I saw that too from our friend MrD and I nearly went for it .... then I thought, nah, jwitten may go nuclear on this .... and then we’d be 2 nuclear bidders getting buried forever and ever. All things considered it finished lower than I’d anticipated. Congrats.

    Not often I saw this about a coin, especially one with a depiction of a man, but that coin is sexy ...

    and that whole set, is kind of orga ...

    oh ... wait ... I might get banned if I say that.

    :p

    Awesome stuff @jwitten
