Man, the first slide should be a warning so someone like me with raw G-4s in their sets can be prepared.
One to proud of, for sure. Nice.
How long in the making?

Thanks for the kind words. I've been working on the set for a little over a year. It's going to get a lot more difficult for me as I start moving into the 1800's, but I may work on some upgrades first.
As for storage, I keep them in blue PCGS storage boxes.

You put together a fairly impressive set with many high graded, lusterous beauties. If it was my set, There are a couple of outliers there that I would improve upon. First, it looks like you're missing the " War Nickel" from the Jeffersons (with the mint mark above Monticello). Second, you have a Genuine Standing Liberty quarter that would cost you less than some of your other coins to get a nice problem free version (I think this is the biggest outlier of all of them). Third, some of the coins have a mottled toning (like the Eisenhower MS65 coin) which takes away from the eye appeal. Some will say they like that mottled toning; personally, I think it's distracting and on a common coin like that, it's easy to get it in blast white. I know...I'm picky, but I want to see everything look just right. Otherwise, you did a great job on the set and the photos! |

Prethen, I think you and I are on the same page for the most part. My set is a work in progress. There is a War Nickel in the set (you may have missed it.) I do plan on upgrading the 2 Standing Liberty quarters in the set, plus I want to add a 1925-30 quarter as a separate type. The SLQ's get a bit pricey in the better grades. I also agree with you on the Type 1 Bicentennial Ike - It's not the most attractive toning. Thanks for the input. |

What a lovely set! Congratulations on getting it all photographed into photobucket. That must have been a lot of work! I really like the slide show. Maybe one of these days I'll be able to photograph my collection and get it into something like photobucket. I have just dabbled in it and need to get serious and get busy!
