As many of you know from a prior post, I've been putting together a special Indian Head cent Set, where each coin has both a CAC and also an Eagle Ere Photo Seal. Yes, there's a lot of overlap between those two. However, I've found they each emphasize and weight different things. For example, it appears that Rick Snow is stricter regarding carbon spots, especially on coins graded at MS66, and gives more weight to the strike quality, where CAC gives a higher weight to luster. I've seen many coins with a CAC or Photo Seal that would not get the other sticker. I believe by having both stickers, I have the best of both worlds. I anticipate that whenever I complete this set, it will rank somewhere around #9. Just ten more coins to go, although I'm always keeping an eye open for upgrades. Here's a hotlink to the set. If you click on any photo, you can use the side arrows to scroll to see the other photos of the same coin, as well as each photo of all of the other coins. https://www.PCGS.com/setregistry/ha...edset/266583Steve |

That is pretty impressive. I like your type/design set too.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
