I tried but couldn't. They looked quarter-sized to me.
But you're darn close and your average set grade is also pretty darn high. Go see his PCGS Registry Set if you want to be impressed. And BTW, it...
A very nice coin. In case you're interested this is the LM-2 die marriage, Obverse 2 and Reverse W. Rarity 1. Key diagnostics: Obverse: S8...
