1877 Proof Set Almost Done - 20 Cent Piece Added Today

[GSA_Gem_Quest]

It Took Me Four Years to Find This One!

 

My 1877 early proof set is made up of cameo proofs graded 63 or 64. I have been looking for a 20 cent piece that fits this criteria for almost 4 years. One PF 63 Cameo finally came available and I had to have it. Who knows when another might come along. So I bid strong and got it. The irony is that, after waiting 4 years for one to show up, 2 more came to auction within the next 3 months after I bought this. One was graded 64 cameo and the other 63 cameo sold for less than I paid (though it was not as nice). Sometime you just can't win!

 

Nevertheless, I am very happy with this one. I still can't believe it only got a 63. It honestly looks better that some Morgans I have in 65. Just look at the detail of the feathers on the reverse. Spectacular!

 

I have only the 50 cent piece to go to complete my set. I am still waiting for the right one. Perhaps I will let the first one that shows up go by, and wait for the next...
