I have since picked up the 10 cents below wreath in XF and the Trade dollar in VG. I will try to get some pics up. |

I applaud your bravado in going after such a set. It doesn't seem impossible nor prohibitively expensive for many collectors. I'd love to see pix of such a set.

What are your thoughts on grades on these? I bought the 2 dimes as XF and the half and Trade dollar as G. There are plenty of 20 pieces out there, but the quarter is going to be really tough. I'm probably going to have to put the gold series on hold since they aren't cheap either! |

I would grade the Half G4 and the Trade dollar G6. The CC above wreath I'd put at XF40 and the other would go XF45ish maybe 50 but looks to have signs of cleaning. The luster also looks disrupted. Nice start! swcoin.ecrater.com

The 1875-CC Trade has 2 reverse designs that I know of. Reverse 1 has a berry under the eagles left talon and arrowhead ends over the O; and Revers 2 doesn't have the extra berry under the talon, and the arrowhead ends are over 2. Both reverse designs run around $250 for VG-8 grade, $325 F-12 grade, $450 for Reverse 1 in XF-40 and $425 for the reverse 2, AU-50 is $750 for Reverse 1, and 2; Reverse 1 MS-60 is $2600, Reverse 2 $2900; Reverse 1 MS-63 $5850, and Reverse 2 same grade for $5500; all Red Book prices. The image is from numismedia.com with their prices, but they don't differentiate between Reverse 1 or 2:  |

Very cool Gothic! And nice pieces so far. You're in for a challenge with the gold portion though.....CC gold can be elusive, even if you have the money for it.

The 20 Cent Piece will be a little harder to obtain than the rest, due to being the key date of the series (Besides the 1876-CC)

Actually, I've seen dozens and dozens of the 20 cent pieces available. The quarter is much harder to obtain and still is way undervalued. They melted a lot of the 1875 CC quarters to help generate interest in the 20 cent pieces. Well, we all know how that little experiment worked out! I've had a much harder time also with finding a nice 1875cc half. I found one in G for $50 and jumped on it (pic in this thread). I'd like to upgrade to an XF at some point, but have not found one anywhere online or at a coin show.
