What new plans for my Estate Collection

Bear · June 4, 2011 8:33AM

I plan on adding more gold coins, such as the Liberty Head $20 in at least MS-66 or MS66+
but might have to settle for a nice MS-65 due to cost.

More Type Proof coins in PR-66, Cameo & Deep Cameo

More Liberty Standing FH Quarters in MS-67FH

More toned Commems, especially a 1918 Lincoln/Illinois Commem in MS-67+

1953 A/R Quarter and Half in at least a MS-64+ PQ grade.

Liberty Seated Dollar in PR-64 Cameo or PR 65+

Obviously, all to be PCGS graded.

I estimate that the total collection will end around 27 - 30 coins.

If I get upgrades, then both coins will probably remain in the collection.

Any one got any other ideas. But remember, I collect only quarters, halves & dollars

and toned Classic Commems.

Ya, You need a nice Bust quarter.

Bear · June 4, 2011 9:06AM

True, they are really expensive but I shall be on the lookout for one and will add it to my list.

Thank you for your recommendation.

1796 Draped Bust Quarter

Bear · June 4, 2011 9:09AM

I am trying to limit myself to 19th and early 20th Century.

While I would love to buy one, that would drag me into the 18th Century.

Draped Bust Design WITH Heraldic Eagle!!!!! Pleeeeease! Quarter, Half, Dollar...doesn't matter...the Draped Bust combined with Heraldic Eagle(Large Eagle to some) is one of my favorite designs....no skinny chickens on the reverse please!

A really nice Trade Dollar would be cool for the collection too! How about a super duper Gobrecht Dollar...no restrikes though.

What are your plans for a Barber Half your fuzziness? A thought would perhaps be a date set in which all mints are reflected, such as 1907, an added benefit being the 07-S is a tough coin.

One mini set I always wanted to assemble was a mint mark set of Liberty Head $5s, the only coin minted at all of the branch mints.

I have added a 1905 Barber Half MS-66+ PCGS CAC to my collection. It is shown

on the picture album. I am looking for outstanding examples of type but not necessarily

more them one of each.

So how many houses did you sell again? Just kidding, I am looking forward to each new coin you post up, that's gonna be one amazing collection when done.

I am sure that I will make some mistakes along the way. However I am trying

very hard to do this right. I do read the recommendations of the Forum members

very carefully and all such recommendations are under consideration as the collection

continues to grow. One advantage of living in a home for 41 years, is that you actually

do build up equity, even in a down housing market. That is allowing me to indulge my fantasy

and within reason, build this gift of love, for our sons. Of cause, having Laura advise me along the

way doesn't hurt. That woman has forgotten more about coins then most of us will ever learn in a

lifetime.

What is left to do, well 1-2 more Commems should do it for that part of the collection

and a nice scarce Barber Quarter in MS-66 or 67 and a few more Morgan Dollars in M66-PL

should about do it. Of course, I do have a weakness for seated Liberty half dollars and I am

still looking for a $20 Liberty Head gold piece.

So, I guess the hunt continues. Things are bit on the slow side

right now, as dealers are between shows and not much new material is being shown on their

web sites. What is new with your own collections and what are your future plans for your own

collections?
