Congratulation, the 1916 is an amazing example. I like the gold toning on the obverse a full strike and solid for grade.

What more can I say besides Holy cow ! A full set of just about anything is a great accomplishment but a complete Standing Liberty FH set is insane .   |

Thanks for your very kind words (as well as thanks to everyone else above). However, my set is NOT a complete SLQ Full Head set - it's a Full Head DATE set, where I have only one coin for each date (the cheapest one, lol). Steve Edited by Winesteven

Speechless. They look like they came straight out of the U.S. Mint to your registry set! Stunning assemblage.

A big congrats on your set. I remember in my first year of collecting in 1988, a dealer I used to frequent showed me a full SLQ set in Choice-Gem mint state FH in a capital plastics holder that he was putting together for a client who was a doctor. It was missing just one coin, the 1927-S. I remember he told me that he bid $60,000 for a gem full head example and wasn't even close to winning it. I think he told me it sold for over $100K. I thought that was the priciest set I was going to see and then he pulled out a complete set of $4 gold stellas - all four of them. Three of those coins had a mintage of 17 coins or less. What a roller coaster since those days, Thanks for bringing back those memories. IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
