Such a tough set. The 1850's are stoppers in the set in quality. There isn't one of 1850's that are easy to find. The civil war dates are coveted by type collectors that make them difficult also. The challenge is part of the thrill however and makes the chase worth it. Have been collecting seated dollars for years and it is quite the journey! Good luck RCA.
I hear the branch mint coins can be a challenge too
I have seen only one complete collection in person (a former poster here) but our very on TDN had much of his former set online for years and he (to my knowledge) is the only person to ever complete the series all in UNC. Think about that for a sec
His old website is no longer with us but his registry is here
That fake 1846 rang a bell and made me go inspect the raw one in my type set album. Unfortunately they are quite similar - probably from the same batch.
Oh well, good to know. Now the hunt for a replacement begins.

Beautiful set under way there @RCA_Collection , by the way.
I also think the gouge on the shield on the obverse is a marker of these fakes.
A new additions to the collection.

Wow! Really nice 46! Great original skin and clean fields. Wonderful addition.
I have a fondness for 1846's. Took a long time to find one for my collection.
Congratulations RCA! Keep up the good work!
Great looking '46. Patience is a virtue when searching for these!
Great looking wholesome pieces you and Crusty are going eye to eye it appears
