<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dima, post: 25372838, member: 18037&quot;]This past March I proudly finished one of my smaller, though most expensive sets.&nbsp; I suppose technically this set started back when I got the first coin in 2013.&nbsp; Back then, as my collection began to expand into gold, I got the 1928 quarter eagle because it was one of the more affordable gold type coins and because I find it exceptionally cool, being only one of only two incuse US designs; the other being its half eagle counterpart which I picked up the following year.&nbsp; Then from there, this set sat dormant for eight years.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>In late February, 2020, to commemorate finally paying off my student loans, I rewarded myself with the pinnacle of my collection, the 1908 St.Gaudens double eagle.&nbsp; Realizing that I had 3 of 8 coins necessary for the set, I started setting aside money to focus on completing this set.&nbsp; Over the past four years I got the remaining pieces culminating in the 1904 Liberty double eagle this past March.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1624139[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1624140[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1624141[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1624142[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1624143[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1624144[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1624145[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1624146[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The set is currently ranked 73rd (110th all time) on the set registry; <a href="https://www.pcgs.com/setregistry/type-sets/era-type-sets/20th-century-gold-major-design-type-set-circulation-strikes-1900-1933/publishedset/109033" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pcgs.com/setregistry/type-sets/era-type-sets/20th-century-gold-major-design-type-set-circulation-strikes-1900-1933/publishedset/109033" rel="nofollow">link</a>.&nbsp; And of course the beautiful <a href="https://www.pcgs.com/setregistry/u-s-coins/type-sets/20th-century-gold-major-design-type-set-circulation-strikes-1900-1933/album/109033" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pcgs.com/setregistry/u-s-coins/type-sets/20th-century-gold-major-design-type-set-circulation-strikes-1900-1933/album/109033" rel="nofollow">digital album</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>Originally, back in 2020, I had contemplated expanding this to include more types.&nbsp; This means going from 8 to 12 coins and adding the motto/no motto varieties, along with a few other minor varieties that don&#039;t particularly interest me.&nbsp; I hope to eventually update the 2x MS61s to at least MS63 but beyond that, I think I consider this one complete.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for looking! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
