<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 3703312, member: 10461&quot;]Handsome set.&nbsp; I especially like your fives.&nbsp; Also like the delicate orangey toning on the 1888 $10 (and the fact that it&#039;s an 1888- there&#039;s just something fun about those &quot;triple-eight&quot; coins).</p><p><br /></p><p>Once upon a time, in the early 2000s, when bullion was cheap and the PCGS Registry was young, I was in the top ten for one of the simple gold type sets, and had it complete, all in 63 or better.&nbsp; Because it was top ten, I qualified at the time for a free reholdering with my pedigree on the labels, but ended up selling the set before that could happen.&nbsp; There is no telling how far down in the all-time rankings that set has slid now.&nbsp; I&#039;ll have to see if I can find it.&nbsp; Unfortunately, there are no pictures attached to it.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Edit</b>- <a href="https://www.pcgs.com/setregistry/u-s-coins/era-type-sets/20th-century-gold-major-design-type-set-circulation-strikes-1900-1933/alltimeset/1579" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pcgs.com/setregistry/u-s-coins/era-type-sets/20th-century-gold-major-design-type-set-circulation-strikes-1900-1933/alltimeset/1579" rel="nofollow">I found it</a>.&nbsp; It was the 8-piece 20th century set.&nbsp; Retired rank #4 (I didn&#039;t remember it being that high.)&nbsp; All the coins were MS63.&nbsp; Has slid down to #53 all-time since 2002. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Wow, I didn&#039;t remember it being that long ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nowadays, I can&#039;t afford even the <i>melt </i>price of anything over a $5 piece.&nbsp; Oh well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
