I've upgraded several of my Liberty Nickels - and imaged ALL of them!

[James_OldeTowne]

I upgraded my 1885 from MS-60 to MS-62, the 1886 from ex-NGC MS-61 to MS-63, and FINALLY got a 1912-S, albeit one that's not the greatest in the world. It's the final coin I want to upgrade. I also upgraded probably a half-dozen of the other coins since the last time I posted these.

 

Now that the set is complete, do you think I should sell it ?

 

HERE is the link - reasonably dial-up friendly, so enjoy!

COOL!

 

I really like how it's set up like an album.

Amanda,

 

I believe you also post across the street. Feel free to link this thread over there, if you'd like. I really enjoy sharing my collections in this manner.

[John Martinez]

WOW! Nice set, nice pictures, and I like the way you hyper linked the images. Nice job on the collection and presentation.

[SkyMan]

EXCELLENT set!!!

 

Obviously a lot of time and care was spent on picking nice eye appealing examples for the various dates and mintmarks. Good going!

[MAULEMALL]

Spectacular James,,Don't sell it unless you can get what it's Truly worth

[MunkyMan95]

NICE!!! I love it when you guys super-impose the photos of the coins over an image of the album page. Great! Just great!

[MikeInFL]

Great website layout -- I love it!

 

The coins ain't too shabby either.

 

Thanks for sharing, and congrats on completing your set...Mike

Extraordinary set, James, and a wonderful setup on your web site to display it. Few may realize how difficult the set you put together is to assemble - one of the toughest.

[MikeKing]

what a GREAT set James! The strikes are great, but particularly spectacular on your '88.

[IGWT]

I love the set as a whole; and, while it's difficult to choose a favorite, I think the '94 is exceptional. Your "album" presentation is very attractive.

[TomB]

Absolutely spectacular effort to present the set and to assemble it!

[DirtyGoldMan]

Sweet, James. I see you finally got a worthy 12-S.

 

Congrats, Robert

[Bruceswar]

Sweet set. Nice!

A very impressive set and display presentation. Congratulations.

You have bested my set by one, as I have yet to upgrade my 1885 AU

to a MS grade.

A question about the fabulous appearing 1883(NC), is it a very high MS

or a proof?

 

[James_OldeTowne]

It's a proof!

[HalfMad-migration]

James, beautiful collection!!

 

Please tell us how you create the web pages where the album page links to each coin's individual images.

James,

 

That proof just does not go with such a nice uncirculated set. It jumped out at me immediately as not in character with the others. I would be happy to give you my address if you wish to dispose of it!

 

All kidding aside, was it ever graded by a TPG service? I would think it has a strong possibilty of Cameo designation.

Hi Ed. I'll keep your kind offer in mind .

 

(((All kidding aside, was it ever graded by a TPG service? I would think it has a strong possibilty of Cameo designation.)))

 

If you're referring to the 1883 N/C, I agree with you. It was certified by NGC as PF-64, but it was in a very old holder, before they used CAM and UCAM designations. It should be a CAM by today's standards.

After enjoying the set for the third or fourth time I agree

with Lou that the particularly sharp strike makes the '94

an outstanding coin.
