GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8938 Posts	Posted 09/16/2019 6:03 pm I mean, might as well. BU's are a dime a dozen, I felt that way with a few series in my type set. But I still bought one in Unc to make it match the set. Report this Post to the Staff
Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3325 Posts	Posted 09/16/2019 6:49 pm I like your Ben as is - honest circulation cameo and in nice shape. If it was my set, I'd probably swap in a Walker that is a little darker and with more wear. I like seeing the age progression of the individual coins... Edit: Don't get me wrong. I think your set is looking good and you should absolutely complete it to your liking.

hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7276 Posts	Posted 09/16/2019 6:53 pm I have a few walkers in circulated, I could do that. I'm still on the fence. I really wanted everything in XF at least. Only page 2 isn't all XF. But I like the idea of going from circulated to BU.

JBuck, I really want to thank you as it was yours and Ken Kat inspiration to do this set. I really admired yours but those 1800's coins were just more than I wanted to spend :( And the rest of the CFF family! Thanks for the support and advice.

KenKat Pillar of the Community United States 4085 Posts	Posted 09/17/2019 3:45 pm I think old Ben looks good in that slot. Look at it this way - it blends in better in a Proof state so maybe no one will notice it! My 7070 US Type Set My 7100 Lincoln Cent Set (now with updates!) Report this Post to the Staff
