I received my last CBQ today to complete my reduced diameter set. It was a lot of fun putting this set together. The 1832 was the hardest to find without issues. I was a bit impatient and jumped on the 1832 F12. I could not find one in a VF grade that I liked so I may upgrade later if I ever run across one with good eye appeal. Anyway.... Thought I would share some pictures.

Impressive! Capped Bust quarters are seriously underrated in my humble opinion.

Congratulations!

It looks like a short and easy set, but I know better, considering how long it took me to find a decent one for my 7070. Well done.

That is fantastic! Excellent coins and an even better idea for what a "set" really is.

I realize that the answer is supply and demand, but the mintage on Capped quarters dwarfs a lot of the halves but they go for similar money. I think they are one of the most underrated areas of classic pre-Seated coinage there is.

That is a great set. And, it looks like you tried to get coins that are original with decent eye appeal.

Thanks for all the comments. It was fun putting this set together. I did indeed aim for all the quarters to have the same eye appeal and they had to be problem free. I learned a lot about the series along the way. I was at a roadblock with my Morgan set due to me only needing around 5. The problem with that is that the five I need will cost me a lot of money!
Rest in Peace
