MS 63 ....that was just my first reaction and I went with it :p ....I recall your earlier thread about cracked planchets...not sure if that played...
I'm leaning slightly towards the 1876. I'm ok with holed examples to fill a spot but in that case I would like for it to be significantly better...
You are pretty much correct. A few of the more recent sets had temporary price increases (due to sell-outs or lower mintages) but eventually fell...
I was looking for that missing d.....
I was in between AU 58 and MS 62...ended up guessing AU 58 (but looks like I should have stuck with my first impression).

The first one is a bond from the Soviet Union and the second is a 1000 Rouble Note from the time of the Revolution (many different ones issued by...
Nice set! Are you planning to put something into the bonus empty spots? I know the Franklin Dansco has the same and I've used those to store some...
Not what I expected...is this the first time the "other" option was the right answer @Lehigh96 ?
