[QUOTE="crypto79, post: 2327748, member: 24254"]while a side set of mine for sure, I used the down time caused by the blizzard to create a showcase. I have always appreciated gold as most of us do and used have the full type set but sold that when I focused my collecting to a series. I have always been attracted to the crudely made O mint coins and the history they represent especially the pre-war years. I have noticed that by targeting coins below preferred collector grades and in NGC holders you could find original skinned coins for cheap. While I know value/unpopular will rear it's ugly head when I ever sell it still represents a fun completable short set of the ill fated odd denomination gold coins made in New Orleans with the influx of California gold. The multiple designs that have continuity between the series and the date run that the 3$ fills in nicely was a fun challange. Being able to add a mint error even better. Still looking for that perfect 3$ piece but here is the set so far. [url]http://www.pcgs.com/setregistry/showcase.aspx?sc=2425[/url][/QUOTE]
