    When I clicked on the link, the EULA agreement came up. At the bottom is the option to I Accept and I Do Not Accept. If I accept I don't know what I'm getting myself into.

    Handsome set. I especially like your fives. Also like the delicate orangey toning on the 1888 $10 (and the fact that it's an 1888- there's just something fun about those "triple-eight" coins).

    Once upon a time, in the early 2000s, when bullion was cheap and the PCGS Registry was young, I was in the top ten for one of the simple gold type sets, and had it complete, all in 63 or better. Because it was top ten, I qualified at the time for a free reholdering with my pedigree on the labels, but ended up selling the set before that could happen. There is no telling how far down in the all-time rankings that set has slid now. I'll have to see if I can find it. Unfortunately, there are no pictures attached to it.

    Edit- I found it. It was the 8-piece 20th century set. Retired rank #4 (I didn't remember it being that high.) All the coins were MS63. Has slid down to #53 all-time since 2002. :p

    Wow, I didn't remember it being that long ago.

    Nowadays, I can't afford even the melt price of anything over a $5 piece. Oh well.

    D.L. Hansen seems to be at the top of a lot of the registry sets with everyone else bringing up the rear.

    Yeah, and High Desert in the type sets. Wow.

    I remember I bought the 1908 NM Saint in my old set, in a PCGS MS63 OGH, for ... four hundred bucks ... delivered. Man, those were heady days.

    They don't have to do that anymore to display there, that changed quite a while ago.

    Great set! Do you have the Classic Head gold coins as well? They’re pretty affordable in lightly circulated condition, and they’re much rarer than the later coins.

    That’s the guy who wrote this book about his collection:

    I wouldn’t take his advice on collecting unless you have millions of dollars to spend, but he either has good taste or employs someone who does. And, there are some really pretty pictures. :)

    Is that the book with all the golf metaphors? I liked it, and the coins. I couldn't give a flying flip about golf, though. Agreed. Nice coins. Not a bad book, either.
