I have decided to end the collection at 2021 with both the Philly and Denver mint coins included. I don't really feel like going beyond this.

I think, for the time being, will mostly consider this set concluded, with the exception of possibly upgrading some of the Memorial cents to BU. This way, I can put this to rest and concentrate on Liberty and Shield nickels.

I would like to, however, possibly purchase a few of the keys at some point.

Some tough hole-fillers done! Harder than you thought it would be from the start?

Thanks, my friends




Yes, a bit. I didn't realize how many "expensive" coins there are in the beginning, even without the major key dates.

30-50 dollars is a lot personally for me in terms of budget for coins. This is the main reason why I don't have the 1909-S, 14-D, 31-S and the 70-S small date.

That said, I would like to get all of those at some point (IDK about the 14-D though) and it is doable for coins that are around 100 dollars and under. This might be a tax return "special purchase" type scenario. Lol.

I am more so, however, on the lookout for the keys for my V nickels. So, that's why this might take awhile.

looks great Humanist.

Well, it has been a little while. I was thinking about the other day how I miss actively working on my Lincoln cents. Even though, as many of you know, I have a special affinity for nickels, Lincoln cents are such a fun series.

I recently decided to revisit and look into some of the key dates.
I would like to say that my long term goal, ideally, I would like to have the 1909-S, 1914-D, 1931-S and the 1970-S small date slabbed/graded.

I took a first step in that direction last night and purchased this really nice 1931-S. I was quite surprised that I was able to find this in EF/XF condition, especially for the price I paid for it. It came in at a little bit under 120 dollars.





Next up on my list eventually is the 1909-S and the 1970-S small date

a very nice looking 31-S

Thanks, jbuck. Honestly, a lot of the coins I've seen on ebay between the 1909-S and 31-S are just disgusting looking. I mean, I get it and all... But when I saw this one, I knew I had to snag it!



Thanks, Dearborn




Thanks, seamonkey. and yes I have a past tendency to be somewhat.... sneaky This is what gets me in trouble lol

Great purchase, Humanist!
