I must have missed this thread when it started, doh! Neat idea, but I see you missed the AU53 grade in your set, might want to add that one too. I like the idea of a grading set, done before, and always a real looker when displayed. It would also make a great display for a coin show exhibit like at an ANA show, possible even award winner too! Make a nice presentation using your set and some books on grading like Photograde, Brown, ANA Grading, Dr. Rick Bragg, PCGS literature, etc. make it all flow together maybe throw in some various TPG slabs as well. A good coin show exhibit can pay and introduce you to many great numismatists. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

Wait. You picked up a VAM-27 (attribution is a slam dunk) for $33? It's about the most common 1878-S Long Nock, but still....

I was thinking about doing a grade set like this. Do all the coins in it have to be the same date/mm?

It has an advantage, in that there will be fewer considerations of strike quality or die differences due to hub/master die aging. C-B made a wise choice in this regard, with a commonly-available date known for decent strikes. |

Great additions CB!  Hope you're able to find that PO01. That one could be difficult. |

Thanks Dave.
The PO-01 is going to be really tough, but that just adds to the excitement of building the set.

This is awesome. I am just now finding it, but very inspiring. I am on a very tight budget, and already collect to many things, but I am tempted to do maybe 1892 Indian Head cent set. I like the idea of 100 years before my birth year. Edited by brenpickle

Yeah, that is very strong for the grade. My guess is that denticle necklace brought it down to 62.

Yeah, probably would have made 63 without it.

I agree, I think its a great and unique idea. I think if you picked a year like 78 or 21 you would be able to do it without too much trouble.
