<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fiddlehead, post: 3423888, member: 31286&quot;]Many of these collections are really amazing. It&#039;s interesting seeing them in groups rather than one at a time, although that is fine too.&nbsp; FWIW I am posting mine again and taking the time to say a little more about it.&nbsp; This is all but one each of the gold coins issued by the four US mint branches in 1840.&nbsp; The most common of these 8 coins is estimated to have 187 surviving in all grades. Several have perhaps less than 100.&nbsp; The only one not there is the Dahlonega quarter eagle.&nbsp; The first one I obtained was the 1840 Eagle and most recent is the Charlotte quarter eagle.&nbsp; It has taken me 10 years to assemble them - I got interested in 1840 coins because so many are first year of issue, there is a limited number of issues in 1840 compared to later dates, they are far less expensive than earlier mintage - and it&#039;s nice have coins of different denominations.&nbsp; I&#039;ve had a lot of fun looking for good examples that I could afford and learning about them in excruciating detail - not many folks outside of this newsgroup would have much interest in it. haha.
