Okay, it's only a three coin type set but it feels like an achievement nonetheless. Here are my three gold dollars. None had TrueViews when I bought them, but I sent them in recently for Gold Shield holders.
MS63 CAC — snagged this beauty from Gerry Fortin. I really like the color. 
AU55 CAC — from the good folks at In God We Trust Coins. It has an interesting die clash for added character. 
MS63 — this was an unexpected pickup that sparked my interest in the tiny gold dollars. I found myself in La Jolla, CA and just happened to walk past United Coin & Precious Metals. The proprietor, Peter, and I struck up a conversation and he pulled out about a dozen gold coins that just came back from PCGS. This is the one that caught my eye.

Very cool, I did the O mint set of gold dollars and love it, unfortunately they never made a type3.

Congrats nice group.
Nice gold dollar type set. Clashed dies are very common on the Type 2 gold dollars. Your specimen has an unusually sharp strike on the date.

Very nice. I especially like your Type 2 -- I found that to be a surprisingly difficult issue in terms of finding a coin with a look I liked at a price that seemed reasonable to me. Yours is very appealing.
The Type 2 was definitely the most challenging. Would have loved to grab a 63 to match the other two coins, but the prices gets nuts on these in Mint State. Glad I was able to find this attractive 55 CAC.

That's exactly where I landed too. I paid strong money for a 55 CAC that looked better to me than most of the 58's I was seeing. Mint state was out of the question.
BE CAREFULL! That is the way my set started. Now it looks like this:
Congratulations!

I think they all look great and love the variety in appearance from the orange peel 1853 to the die clashed 1854 and then the very lustrous 1888.

Gadzooks! That's quite a crew of gold dollars. I don't have enough funds to specialize in a set of them as I have a few other sets in progress, but it may be one I tackle in the future. Thanks for sharing!

Congratulations! I would suggest you start a registry type set for the three gold $1 coins, but your coins are so nice that you will likely knock me out of the rankings.
Anyway, here are my three gold $1 coins, which I now realize I must have photographed under three very different lighting conditions to get such varied gold colors:

I like it!
Congratulations! Getting the three types of gold dollars is an accomplishment.
I was able to get all three gold dollar types because I got lucky with the Type II. It was relatively expensive, even back in the 1960s.
Very nice.
