My late grandmother would have turned 100 this year. I don't own any of the coins in the image below but was privileged to photograph them over the years. This is what a 1925 Mint set with Commemoratives would look like.
At some point I'd like to photograph the 1925-D and 1925-S $20 pieces to complete the image set.

Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

Steve, all beauties! But I wouldn’t have expected any differently. I’ve seen 66/67 CAC’d that weren’t all that nice, but yours are always over the top. You have a Great eye for quality. Congrats. Zack

Zack - Thanks for your very kind words. But as you know, many collectors prefer a different type of "eye appeal" than highly lustrous and all or mostly bright white. Eye appeal is subjective, but there is a large minority that also likes what I like. I know that from bidding competition at auctions.
Have a Happy and HEALTHY New Year!

A day without fine wine and working on your coin collection is like a day without sunshine!!!
