numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11896 Posts	Posted 01/05/2017 01:40 am What a great thread! IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Andrew99 CCF Advertiser United States 1533 Posts	Posted 01/10/2017 7:26 pm I started this set in 1989 and got 2 of them, but only decided to complete it from 2015. After all the study and learning, seems like a waste to never buy another one. I'll take a break for a while. Then maybe I'll go after some major varieties. Report this Post to the Staff

Andrew99 CCF Advertiser United States 1533 Posts	Posted 04/27/2017 8:32 pm Unable to accept the set is over and done with, I decided to collect the major varieties of at least 1 of them. I chose 1800 as its major varieties are interesting. Here they all are This is B-2, which is the normal date. The R in Liberty is doubled. Its an R-6. B-10 was an attempt to curve the date. The 8 is too low. The 2nd 0 is too high. The reverse has many cracks and lumps that are diagnostic. The reverse die was nearly falling apart. The crack through the C in America is easy to see in photos. B-11 is also known as Americai as the diagnostic break is to the right of the 2nd A in America on the reverse. The break looks like an I. The obverse is the same as B-10. B-14 is known as the Dotted Date due to the numerous die breaks near the date. Report this Post to the Staff
