    Gold coins part 2-for your viewing pleasure!

    Hi all,
    Just wanted to show the final 3 coins that arrived that complete the set I wanted to make. My goal was to have one of each denomination gold coin up to $5. Of course the $4 Stella will never be part of that since the only one I saw for sale was listed at $80k. Way out of my league! It only recently came to my attention there were fractional gold pieces as well in quarter, half, and one dollar. So today's roundup is the half and one dollar fractional, and the elusive $3. Thanks for looking!

    That's the plan. Since I just got the last one in today I can start working on it. Can't do it indoors because of the interference, and just got about 6 inches of snow tonight. So might have to wait a few days to get to it. Plus I have an appointment on Thursday with a high end coin dealer to see about getting them graded and stabbed by PCGS. I have very high hopes on the half dollar especially that it could grade MS65 plus or better. If it's a 65, it will be only one of 3 known. 66 or better, it will be unique.
