Is It Still Possible to Put Together A Nice Set of New Orleans Double Eagles?

July 02, 2018/ Doug Winter

Let’s say an upscale collector makes a decision to put together a complete 13-coin set of New Orleans double eagles. Putting monetary concerns aside, is it possible in 2018 to even bother to attempt this project?
