Buying a coin because it's a great match for another coin

Just thought I'd post a couple of coin sets that I feel belong together. As collectors, I'm sure many of us collect these pairs and sets. Anyone want to post a pair of coins of their own that belong together?

    Sorry for no pictures but I did buy an 1845 Seated Quarter in PCGS 45 not just because I needed that particular date but also because it is an EXACT match for an 1845 Seated Half I all ready owned. you would swear these two coins spent the last 189 years going through life in the same pockets.

    @coinbuf - Same grades, same color, same types, same dates, same holders, different MM's, consecutive serial numbers.

    I like!! 👍

    Not same grades, sequential grades (64 and 65). It looks like part of a grading set.

    I had the 1554 English Philip & Mary sixpence. How could I resist the 1557 Irish Philip & Mary fourpence?




    Smitten with DBLCs.

    I do like the pair/set opportunities that sometimes present themselves.



    If we were all the same, the world would be an incredibly boring place.

    No longer own, sold here on BST. Bought the cc first, then saw the 93-O months later on EBAY and had to win the auction since it was a near match to the CC. So nice when these coins are not messed with or dipped white.

    The set of 1859 Indians are cool.

    Those must have spent decades together in the original card as issued! Gotta love the Fantastic toning on that pair!

    Those two cents are one reason I don't get hung up on particular grades. Awesome pair.

    How about these two bookend quarters from 1854.

    PCGS AU55 CAC gold.

    I could help you with those slab scratches.
