    There are some gaps because NGC hasn't confirmed some of my PCGS coins yet.
    And some pictures are missing; I haven't taken them yet.
    The only coins that I'm truly missing are:
    -- 1796 Draped Bust/Small Eagle Reverse Quarter
    -- 1796/1797 Draped Bust/Small Eagle Reverse Half Dollar

    I hope this link works:

    Congratulations on putting together a very nice set !!!
    I guess you were able to set this up (registry) recently, due to NGC allowing PCGS coins in now ?

    Great looking set. The early copper is really nice. Spent
    quite a bit of time looking at those. I wish I were as patient
    picking pieces for my collection. Congratulations!! Well done!!

    I don’t know Shield Nickels, but that 1882 is awesome! Your coins have so much character and eye appeal, congratulations!

    I took approximately 25 minutes looking at this set (hope that's Okay.... devil.gif ).

    Kidding aside, that is one major accomplishment on your part dear fellow. Impressive, remarkable and extraordinary. Well done.......:)

    Wow! That is quite a collection.

    The last piece I needed was the 1796-7 Draped Bust, Small Eagle half dollar. That one is a bear.

    I like the struck thru on the 3 cent piece and the die crack on the shield nickel! icon_smile_thumbsup.gif

    Thanks.

    I tend to be fond of die cracks, so I don't mind coins like that in my collection.
    There should be a number of others in my type set.

    As for the Type 1 3-cent piece, there's another name for that (I forget what it is).
    But it's the image from the obverse coming through the coin.

    A stunning set you have there! I recently finished a 7070 Dansco. No gold thought and not the quality of yours.
