This is the first time I've bookmarked the URL for a collection, Abe... What a noble project to provide for your heirs. I hope, however, that you are around for a long time to enjoy the collection - and your family.
I do agree with the recent posters on the 48-O. It doesn't seem to fit in the collection.
Knowing a little about seated halves I didn't mind an AU58 1848-0 in the set, figuring it was probably priced in the $300-$600 range. But at $1840+, that's absolutely insane. I don't think I'd be comfortable paying that much for an average MS62. The date is available enough in unc and there are more uncs graded than there are date set collectors looking for one. Whoever the advisor was on this one messed up...and not because of the one dig on the coin. The washed out look for an AU didn't appeal to me. I like AU's to be crusty and original.
Price guides range from $500-$700 for AU58's with MS60's up to $950. Most MS61's and MS62's of this date are pretty doggy. But I think the impetus behind the fat price for this AU58 was the fact that it was the only CAC'd AU58 out of 25 pcs. There are 44 graded higher with none yet CAC'd. So I think this 1 of 69 thing is pushing the potential of CAC to an undeserved extreme.
The 90-cc is a dream coin in 65PL. Nice one there Bear!
Most of the 90-cc we see are from the GSA sales. Heavily bag marked and usually a sight for sore eyes. With an estimate of 100 coins in 65 or higher this is a dear coin. Then add the PL, which makes it even more dear, and you have a real winner. (the estimate is mine). Keep in mind folks that the mintage was 2.3 million coins! Probably no more that 20 exist in this, or a higher, lofty grade.
To find a lower graded, say 63, with PL fields is not that rare. Most often they are one sided PL's. But when you find one like Bear's just grab it. No matter the price it's a keeper!
Rarely seen in today's marketplace.

it could be me - but it looks like one of the cornerstone coins is gone !
Was there not a fully toned , Seated Dollar with increadable visual impact - cherry picked from the San Diego mini hoard that Pinnacle recently was selling ??
well , I found the answer in your other thread - it must not have made the cut @ CAC

1879-O{Rev}: 1st coin of my "secret set"

If I did, I might go for a 1955 Double die cent. Now
there is an error even I can see. However it is a rather
exotic and specialized area of collecting and I am not
sure how profitable it would prove in the next 10 - 20 years.

Just curious, thanks for responding.
I appreciate your overall goal and it looks like you are having a fun time doing it.

Looking for Top Pop Mercury Dime Varieties & High Grade Mercury Dime Toners.
While the coins were nice that I deleted, they were not quite WOW coins and had to go
to make room for the big coins to come.

That 29-S Oregon looks a lot like a 26-S, brother.

I just knew the coins was scarce in that condition and looked very nice to me.
I thought I paid thru the nose for that coin, but it seems that is the going rate for
such a coin. The data is on the second thread on this Forum page.
