The TLC Collection: Colorado So-Called Dollars

Set Description
Having been born in Denver I decided that building a set of So-Called Dollars with a Colorado theme would be interesting to pursue. Little did I realize that collecting Colorado related So-Calleds is a popular avocation and that many of them are quite rare and very difficult to find - especially in higher grades. I think I've managed to assemble a fairly nice set thus far and I hope to continue adding intersting new specimens to the collection whenever possible.
