Thanks for the kind words, I've been trying to put together a nice XF set of these as they actually circulated due to the reduction in gold content. Ironically enough, the 34 graded EF-45 while the 38 is in an old green PCGS holder graded EF-40. I guess time takes a toll on grading standards! Still need a 37 and 34 crosslet to complete the set though.

got these last week for my classic head collection, guess which one is the lowest graded!

I got these today, this year they made a thousand sets rather than 500.

This one came in the mail today, my first pincer 8!

Picked this one up today.

Picked these up at a show yesterday:

This one arrived at the post office yesterday, she needs a home so I think I might keep her...

This first one is not mine, but I took a photo of it in the lobby of an office where I had a meeting. It was the biggest coin I've ever seen and over 220 lbs too! The next was an 1818/7 that I got in the mail last week.

Pretty Saint Clarkbar!

Here are the other 2:

I went to the Grand Rapids Coin Club Show today and found some new additions (and only one duplicate die marriage!).

I got these two last weekend.

Sweet addition George!

Well this is the first hole I've filled in this set in a couple years, I guess that blows my budget too!

 

C'mon...you need to give details. Is that a mint mark I see? Grade? Looks nice...

Yes, it has a D mintmark and resides in a PCGS green label holder graded MS-62.

 

Excellent...I like the orangish/pink color. Is that true or is it just the photo?

Yes, that's pretty much what it looks like (despite my atrocious photo skills), to me it's a solid 62, a couple of marks on the reverse and a little flatness on Liberty's face. It's amazing to me when I look over my set how grading has "evolved." My 1924 is such a common date with lots of high-grade pieces, yet I have one in MS-62 that I wouldn't trade for many 64s today! In any case, I'll enjoy this one for the next few years before I'll be able to fill another hole (most likely the 1908-S or the 1926-D as those are the most attainable open spots I have right now.

That's an awesome half eagle George!

Larry, love those additions, you're a man after my own heart!

Got this one in the mail today!

Thanks Jason, I like them though now that I've checked, they are both dupes, but what the heck!

These two arrived today, I especially like the O-105 toning, though the O-106 is very nice too!

Nice Saint Irvin!

Just picked this one up yesterday, brought it home and immediately realized it's a duplicate!

I picked this one up at a show yesterday, I always like 1820 and 1809 for some reason, so it was cheap and I picked it up! I attribute it as an O-108.

This one arrived in the mail today, I believe it's an O-104, I probably paid way too much, but I'm a sucker for this type of halo toning on bust halves...

 

Jeff, great coin!

 

Color-wise it looks a bit like the 1826 I sold you. True?

Yes, very similar, though in looking at photos, I think I now have close to a couple dozen with toning in a similar pattern.
