GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8938 Posts	Posted 02/05/2021 2:15 pm Well 3 years in the making and it's done. While I'm technically missing the Flowing Hair Half, I can't bring myself to spend $4000 on a coin that I really don't like. But I'm otherwise complete! For most of the coins I tried to get an "in hand picture" and then a "beauty shot". Enjoy! Report this Post to the Staff

Scratches on the holder, has to do with angle of lighting. Quote: other than ugly Ben Point me to a pretty one and I'll buy it. Quote: Fantastic! Thanks! Quote: GREAT looking set. Thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed building it, though it's nice to have done. Means I'm one step closer to finishing out the set. By my definition of a type set I'm only missing 15 coins, though those 15 coins are quite pricy. Report this Post to the Staff

I actually think I paid full greysheet retail for it, but considering the excellent eye appeal I think I did quite well. Quote: Very well done and a tip of my cap as a fellow collector. Thanks! This is the second denomination I've completed, and if it weren't for paypal holding my money for no reason I'd have a third done... Quote: Grape - Got it, thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

KenKat Pillar of the Community United States 4085 Posts	Posted 02/06/2021 12:09 pm It is interesting how much lighting, etc. can come into play with photos and coins in general. When I saw the initial picture of all 11 coins, I have to admit - being completely honest here - my thought was meh. But your individual pictures really show off the beauty of each of these coins and my initial thought was completely reversed. They are fantastic and what a set! Beautiful; congratulations and nice work! My 7070 US Type Set My 7100 Lincoln Cent Set (now with updates!) Report this Post to the Staff

Beautiful; congratulations and nice work! Thanks, and no offense taken lol. The point of the full set shot wasn't to make them look pretty, but more to show all the grades. Quote: Very nice. Well done Took a little but it turned out alright enough Quote: Grape - You took the time to put together a beautiful and interesting set. You should be very proud! Congratulations! Thanks Steven! Means a lot to hear that from a pretty big type set guy. Quote: Great looking set! Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff
