This set took me appr. 9 years to bring it up to this level. I still have upgrades to do on the 1908, 1906, 1920 (narrow "O") and I need to acquire a high grade 1910 (Victorian Leaves). Ones mentioned are tough pieces to acquire in high grade, I thought judging by the mintages they would be easy to get and some of my first, WOW, was I mistaken!

Glenn

Wow, those must be some awesome coins!

Hello Stevex6, I'm not sure I wanna spend that kind of money for an F-12 on a '47, CR7Right,ML. I would prefer to upgrade a Vicky or Edwardian instead, however, I haven't completely ruled out the possibility. It's funny how a Collector hits a brick wall when you get deeper into a particular decimal set.
At first the coins were flowing 4-6 / month, now if I'm lucky it's 1 every 6 month's. The higher the level of coins you acquire, the harder it is to upgrade or acquire new ones that will nicley "fit" in to the level of what you have.
Ironically one of the TOUGHEST halves I've ever had to find, which I finally did, was an I.C.C.S., 1943, Near "3", MS-64,Cameo. I know the trend value is a mere couple of hundred dollars, but O.M.G., I wouldn't part with mine for triple the trends.

The 1948 looks to be a Wide Date... A High 4 is a wide date, and a low 4 is a Narrow Date.... As far as I can tell this is a high 4. Only about one in eight 1948s is a high 4.

Note that the Straight 7 1947ML has a repunched 7. Late in the Die State the repunch will almost disappear, but all Straight 7 Maple Leaf coins have a repunched 7, and are a rework (Die polished and Maple Leaf added) of one of the six Straight 7 (non-Maple Leaf) Dies that were used.

Didn't notice that Glen, nice set.



Steve, the '48 looks EF-45 to me.
