Thank you for the kind comments. Although I would like to think so, I'm just nibbling at the low-hanging fruit. Most of the stuff after this one will be out of my reach financially. My ninth entry in the Top 100 list at #32, the 1787 Fugio Cent.   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."

An excellent Fugio, a real beauty! One of my goals for 2022 is to purchase a Fugio, and while it won't be anywhere as nice as yours, I'm looking forward to it. Once again, thanks for sharing your amazing collection with us!

I'm looking forward to seeing your fugio cent too.

Nice hokiefan_82. I had seen the St. Gaudens but not the S-VDB. Is yours the flat or wire rim? Your holder doesn't say and you can't tell from the straight down photo. Mine is the flat rim.

Thanks, @numismatic student. My Saint is a wire rim example.

I think it's great that D.L. Hansen has so far not only accumulated 66 of these 100 rarities, but has obtained them in high grades. I have only one of the 100, posted early in this thread.
I don't want this thread to go off on a tangent, but I believe he's a very positive asset for our wonderful hobby.

Great addition @earle.
I wonder, for those of us who don't own the book, has this list been posted somewhere on the interwebs? Even though I'm rarely adding to my US collection, it could be fun to see if I've got more than the two that I see are duplicates for others posted here. Thx.
