Thank you @Spence for the update and others for your kind comments.  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."

Fantastic collection, numismatic student.
Do you have a Registry Set of it?

Thanks NE. No registry set. Seems counterproductive to have it on many platforms. I like CCF.

Was able to fill 2 out of 4 remaining spots in this set. The remaining coins are the 1795 flowing hair which I don't feel in a hurry to obtain as it is fairly common (relatively speaking) and the 1804 dollar which has no business strikes and all the proofs struck were restrikes produced decades later. Although I would love to own one, I am not sure if I will ever find the right opportunity to acquire one. @Spence - would you be kind enough to make changes to the set grouping in the first post as follows: - Change the titles of the 1797 and 1798 small eagle titles to add the slab grade in the former and the attribution and slab grade in the latter as described below. - Also add the titles and pictures of the 1802 and 1803 coins as per those below in the first post. - I will use the 'Report to staff' to ask for the changes. Many thanks! 1797 $1 Draped Bust Dollar 10x6 Stars Large Letters - B-3, BB-71, NGC VF301798 $1 Draped Bust Small Eagle Reverse 15 Stars BB-81, B-2, NGC AU501802 $1 Draped Bust Dollar, Close Date BB-241, B-6![A-[for-Now-Incomplete]-Run-Of-Early-Silver-Dollars](uploaded/numismatic student/20250725_1802--1-0obv.jpg) ![A-[for-Now-Incomplete]-Run-Of-Early-Silver-Dollars](uploaded/numismatic student/20250725_1802--1-0rev.jpg) 1803 $1 Draped Bust Dollar Large 3 - BB-255, B-6![A-[for-Now-Incomplete]-Run-Of-Early-Silver-Dollars](uploaded/numismatic student/20250725_1803--1-large-3-1obv.jpg) ![A-[for-Now-Incomplete]-Run-Of-Early-Silver-Dollars](uploaded/numismatic student/20250725_1803--1-large-3-1rev.jpg) 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.
