The departure of the 1842-D half-eagle was a big one, as that was the most expensive coin in this set by a wide margin (>$2K).  It is the only coin for which I had ever paid a four-figure pricetag.  But it was technically set aside for my daughter all along, and she's 16 now and working, and needs her first used car, so there it goes.  Goodbye Dahlonega!  I did put that 1853 Seated dime in the slot where this gold piece was, so there's still an antebellum US coin in the collection.  I'll gradually add more US coins - and hopefully another gold piece or two - but for now that category has been significantly "downsized".  I think I'll stay in the two- and three-figure price bracket from now on.  I really don't have any business playing with four-figure coins on my budget.  That league is for the folks with much deeper pockets. In addition to the changes above, several coins have been graded at PCGS and reimaged, so I have updated that information. The long, laborious process of doing individual writeups for all of these coins continues.  Eventually those writeups will all be linked to from these update posts, but it's a work in progress.  You'll notice that one or two of the first ancients in this list have links that go to writeup threads, but most of the hyperlinks above each coin still go to my CollectiveCoin gallery listings as of right now. Again, thanks for looking. ~RWS/"LM" [/QUOTE]
