A Few Additions to my CAC Type Set:

 

1876 FIVE-CENT PIECE - SHIELD, NO RAYS PCGS MS45 CAC

1853 THREE-CENT PIECES - SILVER, TYPE 1 NGC MS58 TYPE 1 CAC

1921 SILVER DOLLARS - PEACE LIBERTY HEAD PCGS MS53 HIGH RELIEF

1818 QUARTER DOLLAR - CAPPED BUST, LARGE SIZE PCGS MS06 CAC

1917 QUARTER DOLLAR - STANDING LIBERTY, TYPE 1 PCGS MS55 TYPE 1 CAC

 

I picked up a few more coins in the last two weeks since my first ever NGC Journal entry. Here are the coins:

 

1876 FIVE-CENT PIECE - SHIELD, NO RAYS PCGS MS45 CAC

1853 THREE-CENT PIECES - SILVER, TYPE 1 NGC MS58 TYPE 1 CAC

1921 SILVER DOLLARS - PEACE LIBERTY HEAD PCGS MS53 HIGH RELIEF

1947 S QUARTER DOLLARS - WASHINGTON, SILVER NGC MS64 STAR CAC

1818 QUARTER DOLLAR - CAPPED BUST, LARGE SIZE PCGS MS06 CAC

1917 QUARTER DOLLAR - STANDING LIBERTY, TYPE 1 PCGS MS55 TYPE 1 CAC

 

You will notice that the 1921 High Relief does not say "CAC", that is because I have found it hard to find a nice XF45 - AU58 1921 Peace with a green CAC sticker. There are plenty of MS62...MS65 coins, but very many in nicely circulated, which is what I wanted and what I can afford. So I am gambling on the AU53 and will submit to CAC myself.

 

I have not seen several of these coins yet in-hand, but 1917 25c Type 1 is a stunner, and I hope the rest are as well. I do like aquiring a few nice examples of each month, and this lets me focus on the shrinking pool of coins. It is getting harder and harder, but recently I added a few more names to my "Dealer Directory" of dealer sites I check once a week or more. A really great discovery was a local dealer to me in Maine, Gerry Fortin. Site is great, and we sent a few emails back adn forth so I definately will be buying some nice seated dimes from him in the near future.

The CAC Type set is an interesting idea and pursuit, but it sounds like it can get a little tricky on you from time to time though!! It sounds like you acquired some very nice new acquisitions, and your 1921 Peace is a beauty!!

 

Best Of Luck as you continue your pursuit!!

IMHO the Peace Dollar still has one of the nicest designs. Nice addition
