Unbelievable set! That must have cost you a fortune. If you dont mind me asking, how long did it take you to complete the set. And did you buy all the coins or did you roll hunt as well?

So when are you going to crack that slab and press the 1916-D into the album with your bare thumb?  Just kidding - great set - congratulations!!  |

Thank you all for your comments!  Quote:

Well, I kind of cheated. I bought the entire set minus the 16-d for $200 about a year ago. That part wasn't very expensive. At one point, I had an AG-3 16-d, but I sold it. I just recently purchased this VG-08, and THAT one did cost a fortune..lol. Quote:

So........whats next? Spousal tax.  I still need one more coin for my 7070. After that I will probably focus on gold if it stays below $1200. |

Congratulations! I would have a difficult time leaving that 1916-D in the slab, although I understand your reasons for doing so. |

Nice set! I have been putting together a set in similar condition and only have one left. I bet you can guess which one.

Nice set. I completed my set but with a 1916-D in PCGS AG-3 (I like yours better). I moved on to Barber dimes and am nearing completion on that set. I highly recommend the series. |

I actually think you should crack the 16-D. IMO its a VG-10 and you may very well get that grade back when you resubmit it.

I think the obverse is holding the coin back in this case. The reverse is is still surprising to me, as I've never really seen cartwheel luster on a VG graded coin. This one has it in the protected areas all around the reverse letters, and that's the area that usually has the most wear on 16-ds at this grade. It's really quite odd.. |

I agree with Shadow. Also, I dont see how it could come back with a lower grade. It simply couldnt.
