Continue to hoard silver of course.... But I would like to finish my IHC book and I started 2015 with finally getting a 1892 Columbian Half, that will kick start my commemorative half dollar collection. Last year I bought 1982 Washington proof and unc as well as the Kennedy Sikver Proof set. The next commemorative that I want is the 1936 rhode island half.
Good luck to all this year!

What are wheat cents going for? My goal is to start my Barber half book set, as soon as I wrap up my unfinished Barber quarter set. Why am I starting sets that I can't complete?

Because you love all coins, and do not discriminate againest sets that are out of you price range.

The owner of my LCS owner just picked up an 1896-S Barber quarter in AU55. He said he will never finish quarter set with just two left, he never thought he would get the 1896-S. I did get to hold it for a minute.

I couldn't afford that high grade, definitely a show stopper.

Add a couple Mint State Seated Liberty halves to my collection. I completed my set with all dates and mintmarks except for the elusive 1878-S. I would say the majority are XF to AU, with a handful of MS coins and a few in Fine condition(really expensive dates). I have many multiples in my collection, so I will sell off some of my lower grade coins and watch as many auctions as I can for the coins I need at the right prices!

Is one year too late to reply?

I may try to order my first box of Half Dollars. I am a little worried about how to dump them.

Spend them!


Not too practical for me, on our budget

We try to MAX out the CREDIT CARD cash back as we spend for "STUFF." At 2 percent cash back it would cost me $10 a box.

Only way for me to go is a pick up and (different?) dump bank.

Go figure ~`~`~` one box a week ~`~` times $10 per box equals $520 per year.

Been a hectic year.not a lot of posting in 2015.
My reply last year was.

1) VG 1869 and 1872 IHCs. Will leave me with 1877 and 1909S as my only holes.
---> Result: AG 1869, AG 1872, G 1877, VF 1909S
2) XF 1883 W/Cents, 1886, 1887. Leaves me with 1885 left (someday.)
---> Result: F 1883 w/cents, AG 1885, AG 1886, XF 1887
3) Work on my neglected Buffalos.
---> Got into pre 1965 Jeffersons, unexpected that this happened, bt not disappointed, a really tough coin with defined steps.

Goals for 2016: Work my Buffalo collection, 19 to go...
