My collection is coming along nicely... another aspect i love about these is that you can have coins ranging from VF to UNC and they all just "fit" together wonderfully.... as seen in this Poster View.
AND BY THE WAY... I would like to give many kudos to John Agre at CRO for all of his assistance building this stellar set with much needed guidance and history.
I feel very fortunate to have had such good people to deal with right from the get go.

As are the other 22!
I wonder if I can put SpaceMonkey on retainer so I can take advantage of his eye for nice coins...

Truly, I meant no ill will toward the other coins. As an apology, you may pick any coin from my collection and keep an image of it.

I knew it would happen.
Nice collection
I'm sure I'll dream about this poster tonight
Splendid, sir. Absolutely splendid coins.
Thank you for sharing them with us.
The quality of the coins is simply remarkable. I assume the Higley piece is a restrike (?). Also, are all the coins raw, or are some or all in slabs?
What is amazing to me is that this entire set in it's current form still costs much much less than some single federal rarities.
and many of these coins are truly rare as well with many only having a handful still around and even less when originality
and eye appeal are taken into consideration. so you get a whole lot of bang for the numismatic buck in my humble opinion.
I have added expanded versions of each coin to the first post for a little history on each coin... still need to add info to some.

and coinut1799... all are slabed PCGS (except the Higley which is in a custom holder, and is a Bolen Copy ca. 1860's with perhaps 12 known)
