14th coin 1838 PCGS XF45 Capped Bust Half After I received my first 1837 capped bust half, I wanted to get a 1838, I found one that had the look I like (xf) and so I sold some coins, junk silver, etc to help pay for it

15th coin Anacs 1893cc VF25 $5 gold liberty Found this for a good price and jumped on it, hey cc gold for a decent price, I couldn't say no! Lately I'm liking anything cc but I just need to be careful about price as many cc coins cost quite a bit.

16th coin NGC 1845 XF45? $5 gold liberty I think this is a xf45, would have to double check as I don't have it in front of me. This item I got for very close to spot price a little while back. 160 yrs of history + precious metals content, cant beat it! Its one of my oldest coins and I'm happy. I love the circulated look vs bright and shiny gold coins unless its bullion.

I cannot believe that 5 dollar piece was actually circulated. Crazy, so much gold was available back in those days.

Definitely a super group of coins thus far. I sometimes wonder if I'll go quality over quantity someday.

Thanks all!!
Upstate I was all abt quantity and went for 90% junk silver, silver proof sets,etc. Got boring after a while and am trading/selling some of it away to get older coins or nice coins that I can enjoy more

Question: What are you going to do when you achive your goal of 60 nice type coins? Are you going to keep the limit and make upgrades or are you going to go for a box of 100? Incredible group of coins!  Lots of nice gold
