Great looking set and "project" Mike. I am sure it will turn out to be a super looking set when you are done.

 

Great news on selling the Buffs so quick as well!

First guy was a hacked account .. I fished him out with the help of Ebay

Gotta another guy on the hook ... I am asking way too much for the set

That's a handsome proof set you've got there. Congratulations.

Love those cameos!!

 

And I'm sure that you saved a bundle buying the set intact. Good move, I think. (thumbs u \

 

And it's tough to see why the half deserved the 61 grade based on the pics. It appears to be a pretty coin to me.

What makes the Half "only" a PF 61?The obverse looks cameo.

I will check it closely as I will the other coins when in hand.

I am VERY good at getting classic era coins recertified as cameos as

4out of the 10 coins in the 1883 set I sent in for redesignation. They are

looking for the LOOK ... In hand this may look much different.

Looks Like I lied

Hard to tell without better pics why that half was only awarded a 61...but it darn sure looks cameo to me both obverse and reverse.

Thanks for posting this 1886 Proof Set -

 

nice looking and for the most part - well

 

matched group .

 

The half looks much nicer than a PF 61.
