I am impressed by your desire to challenge yourself to have such a uniform and impressive collection. Once the collection is entirely completed, this will be a stunning set to view in hand. Very nice on the new pickups! Thank you so VERY much. While I'm in NO rush to complete this set (patience helps), once it's completed I'll talk to some key people to ask if by chance they feel it's worthwhile by being beneficial to others to include this set in the exhibits at a Winter FUN show (it's only about a three hour drive from where I live). I've never exhibited before. Quote:
Yeah, good luck finding the 1877 and 1909-S in those lofty grades . Not to mention the hard years 1869 to 1872... I'm sure you will get them eventually... Oh yeah, also the 1864L would be hard to get. Rick is on the hunt for me for a nice 1877. He says he knows where most of them are, it's just a matter of convincing someone that this is a good time to sell. Regarding the 1909-S, I've got my eye on the month end Legend Regency auction. Cross your fingers! If you click on the hotlink in my original post above to my Indian Head set, despite me being in no rush, you'll see I already have a nice 1869 65RB (CAC pop only 36), 1870 65RB (CAC pop only 32) and an 1871 65 +RB ( PCGS pop ONLY 2, with only 3 graded finer by PCGS in RB!). I also have an 1864 L on Ribbon MS64RB. When I first started the set a few months ago, I originally was going for 64RB as a minimum, and this was one of those. However, I recently decided to go with 65RB as a minimum (perhaps not for the 1877), so I'll be looking to upgrade my 1864L, as well as a few others. Thanks to nickelsearcher, hfjacinto, and CoinHunter4 for your kind comments. A day without fine wine and working on your coin collection is like a day without sunshine!

I was unaware that PGCS does not include a color designation for IHC. |

Amazing coins to be sure. Curious, did you set yourself a budget for the set or are you just getting them if/when available at whatever the market price ends up being.

Amazing coins to be sure. Curious, did you set yourself a budget for the set or are you just getting them if/when available at whatever the market price ends up being. While my income and assets are probably higher than the "average' collector, it's absolutely nowhere near that of the "Big Boys". As such, when complete, I expect this set to be roughly #10 - #15 in the PCGS Registry. I cannot compete against those higher than that! When I started this project, I took a look at what these coins would run in the various grades. Initially I decided to go with a minimum grade of 64RB (other than the key 1877). With that, many coins would be obtained at $500 - $1,000 each, but I knew I'd go for many 65RB's and in the later years 66RD's, with many coins costing $1,000 - $3,000. Subsequently, I decided to go with a minimum of 65RB. There were a few coins I picked up several months ago for several hundred dollars each, and I will now look to upgrade those. As for the 1909-S, I'll go for either a 65RB or 65RD. For the key 1877, I was going to go for a 64RB, but I might consider a 65RB. A 64RB might run roughly $10K, and a 65RB $17K or so. UGH!!!!!!
