    Just got them back from PCGS! Low grades, but EXTREMELY rare. The f.e. clashed with $20 gold has a population of 17 coins and the seated quarter has a pop of 7! This is the first time I've put this set together with problem-free coins, and all were found undiagnosed. IMG_3551.jpg IMG_3562.jpg IMG_3564.jpg IMG_3568.jpg

    Very nice, sir, and congrats on doing it the old fashioned way!

    One thing to note, and I do not mean this as a negative; TPG populations are a poor gauge of the true rarity of these varieties. Great coins nonetheless and you should do that much better with them being in the right plastic.[/FONT]

    OK...(dumb question) how does a $20 double eagle die clash with a F.E. 1¢ die?

    Does it happen as the dies are being changed?

    Was there some clumsy guy working at the Mint in 1857?

    Is he related to this guy?

    Cool set. The quarter is a tough coin to find. It took me years to find a nice one.
