  Great looking set.
  How long did it take you?
  Any good stories behind any of the coins?
  I'm jeolous by the way!

  Congratulations. Just finished mine on Saturday (AU 1872 Liberty Seated Dollar with Motto was the last coin). Immediately began upgrading at the same show and dealer table that I used to complete the set. Upgraded my Seated Dime (60-73, with Legend), three cent nickel, Barber Dime, and (gulp) Classic Head Large Cent. Had Ed Hipps had a nice AU-58 Flying Eagle, I would have gotten that too!

  Do your best to avoid circular arguments, as it will help you reason better, because better reasoning is often a result of avoiding circular arguments.

  Just a little over two years I believe

  Not really; just that some of these coins are very tough to find as mentioned here

  Some raw and some cracked, here you go:

  Nice job! I agree with the Mirabela--looks even matched, which is tough to do.

  Very nice set. Congratulations...especially on the gold page. I didn't do the gold page, but maybe I will later. Now I'm focusing on upgrades.
  
  I really like the way your coins match next to each other. And I really like your idea of putting the inserts on the album. Excellent idea!
  
  How about some bigger pics?

  Congratulations! That is quite an accomplishment and one you should be proud of. Daily I look at my Dansco and look forward to the day when it is full. My only hope is that it is looks as good as yours does when completed!
  
  Well done!
