Drsandman2,
Does this mean you have all of the proofs too? Including the older ones from the 20's, 30's and 40's, etc? That would be a true full set to me.

  Seriously - I was going to ask about the proofs also. Personally I do not have all the proofs but have thought maybe of adding them one day - maybe also the 55 and 72 DDOs. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

Haha, no I don't have the proofs. Not really interested in them to be honest... I thought my last coin, 1970 S Small Date in MS, was from chris12018, a fellow CC member. But last night I went to take some photos and realized that the 1954 hole was empty. WHAT! You gotta be kidding me, right? I realized that searching for a 1954 in the big batch of wheats I had would be futile, so I waited until today to hit up my local dealer. I tell him I need a 1954 and he pulls out his box. He is a penny guy, so when he pulls out his pennies you can be assured that most are MS and varieties of some sort. He is really into DDs and RPMs. Anyway, I came home with a 1954 in MS marked as a DDO. I couldn't really see the doubling in the date, but it was very obvious that there is an eyelid. So THAT is my last coin. I'm dying to get some pics done, but my honey-do list needs attention. I'll get her done tonight. |

Here they are! I didn't want to mess with the sliders, so I just scanned them leaving the plastic film over the coins. Any specs, fibers, fingerprints, etc are on the film, not the coin! Few notes: 59-Present is BU, so I didnt include it. I did post a pic including the 1970 S Small Date from Chris12018. Thanks again! The 1922 Plain slot has what I think is an early Die #1. It was previously labeled "Broken D" from its 1938 holder, which didn't include a slot for 1922 plain. How I came to obtain the coin, and who it belonged to, means more to me than any other 1922 cent I could own... so, for me it is a great hole filler. I won't be seeking a 22 Plain, but if I do find one I'll have to bump the 22 Weak D over and make room. I'm not so hip to the over polished die fad, anyway. Shame me all you want, sorry! :D As okiepb put it, time to move on to another album (IHCs). I got a '77 to focus on here... Goals for the set: 1. Keep 09-40 as is for the most part 2. Replace ASAP: 1911, 1911D, 1925, 1927S 3. Upgrade 41-58 to Unc Red If anyone can help with my upgrades, just shoot me a message. I'm going to a coin show this weekend and I only have 6 more holes in my Type set. Really hard not to just buy culls and call it done!

I wanted to ask about my 1943's... The 43D looks natural, I can't really tell with the 43, and the 43S appears to have been recoated. I'm really not good with the 43's, so I would welcome any opinions. I want only original coins in here, obviously.
THANKS FOR LOOKING!

No shame, none at all. I really hate that spot being in the album and I envy you for finding a truly meaningful coin to put there. Well done. 1922 was the year my grandfather was born. If only he had a lucky 1922 Lincoln Cent to go along with his lucky 1922 Peace dollar that he gave me. What a hole filler that would be!  |

Great looking set with VERY nice examples.
I always thought the 1909svdb was the required last coin to obtain,
At least it is in my book. Congrats!

Congrats on the set Drsandman  I haven't put the 22 plain in the hole as well. I don't really consider it a part of the set; more of an error. PLUS, a bunch of money! Maybe some day. |
