Congrats on this wonderful set. These coins are quite rare and more rarely available. Way beyond my means. I wish you well in continuing and completing your venture.

I've somehow missed this topic, but just spent a bit of time working through all the posts. That is a fantastic and beautiful set you've put together. Very impressive, congrats!

Man, you guys are killing me with coins I can only dream of! I'd be happy with just one for a type set let alone most of the series. Congrats to those of you who are fortunate enough to acquire such wonderful pieces!

@barryg, yes - a set can even be empty. My list of early silver dollars is "the null set." @Andrew99, if you haven't already, I encourage you to meet my friend W. David Perkins. He handles some frequent "extraordinary Half Dimes" sales and that's how I got to know him, but his knowledge and experience with dollars is deep. His site isn't always super fresh because I think he sells more through his network of contacts - so watching the site may not be the best way to hear of new product. But here's the section on dollars, just FYI. https://www.davidperkinsrarecoins.c...dollars.html |

Bikergeek, I know David Perkins. He editted an article I wrote on the Silver Plugged Flowing Har dollars for the John Reich Journal. |

A hat tip to Andrew99 who inspired my foray into collecting the early dollar series. Not doing varieties as it is expensive enough without going down those rabbit holes.
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."
