<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ddddd, post: 24760317, member: 22377&quot;]Having seen a display at a coin show of a grading set of Morgans in the new yellow slabs, I was inspired to create one of my own. I have long been a fan of the small white Anacs holders and decided to make the set more challenging, so I opted to have all of the coins be in those holders as opposed to the more modern ones (I could have made it even more difficult and went with old NGC fatties or PCGS rattlers, but I&#039;m not that crazy <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />).</p><p><br /></p><p>I decided that if this were to be closer to an actual grading set, I would need to have all the coins be from one mint (now I know that still has its flaws since different dates have their own intricacies but that is as close as I could reasonably do without collecting all of the same date). The chosen mint was New Orleans (why-simply because I already had some of those).</p><p><br /></p><p>The goal of the set is to have one of each from Poor 1 to MS 67 (I&#039;m fairly certain there is no 68 or 69 in these holders and if there was, it would be too pricey for my budget; even a 67 will be a stretch). There are also some additional pieces, like a PL, a DMPL, an UDM, a details grade (maybe several for different types of problems), and anything unusual that catches my eye.</p><p><br /></p><p>The small white holder had a fairly long run, including the early ANA days. I am not excluding any; so there will be ANA, 6 digit, 7 digit, etc. For some grades there are so few options available that it would not make sense to exclude any generation.</p><p><br /></p><p>And as many collectors know, the empty spots can be a bit bothersome. So some “hole fillers” could be used or some rules might be stretched.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please follow along in the comments of this thread to see the progress of the set as well as additional comments about the journey.</p><p><br /></p><p>More to come...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
