Update #4 - Completed Circulated Classic Silver Commemorative Type Set

Very nice!

Not to quote myself but..


Seriously...

I always enjoy an excuse to look through your collections.

Acquired this nice 1920 Maine downgrade ... I grade G04.

Thanks to Hondo for his 'eyes' on this one and continued support to make me aware of these opportunities.



Great numismatic fun indeed chasing this set.

As high as the wreath is on the Maine it's amazing how the center wears down. I think that you are correct on the G4.

Great fun prowling the bourse at the ANA Philly show ... I picked up three circulated classic silver commemorative ... pleased to share them with you.

Forgive the poor photos. After watching Ssuper Dave in Philly ... well ... makes me realize how poor my efforts at photography are.

1933-D Oregon Trail

My circulated type set contains a VF20 Oregon Trail (1926-S) .... so I did not really need this coin ... it just was impossible to pass up. Mintage of 5,008 examples. I believe this is one of very few 1933-D Oregon Trail that ever saw circulation.

The coin has much more luster than my photo shows ... I grade a problem free AU50.



1935 Connecticut Tercentenary

Nice downgrade for me. I grade VF30 ... which would place this example as one of the lowest ever certified by PCGS if it were submitted.

I really enjoy Henry Kreis design of this coin ... and viewing his magnificent Charter Oak in this grade is spellbinding (at least it is to me).



And .... best of all ...

1938 New Rochelle

This is a very tough coin to find in circulated condition. PCGS has certified a total of 2 examples below AU ... lowest known is certified at F12 and owned by you-know-who.

I grade this New Rochelle at XF45 ... with some luster remaining in places and nice original surfaces.



With this addition I am now down to four holes in my Dansco 7094.

I have updated my Want List:

Great new rochelle!

I am also working on a circulated set of these classic Half dollars.
I like the way you used many differnt grades. I do the same I am trying
for every grade from VG-8 through AU-58.
You set is a real winner in my book.
Thanks for sharing this set with all of us.
