barryg has a pair of nice virtual type sets...  Oh my! That's an outstanding website achievement in displaying a virtual coin set. I wish I could do that. Thanks for the links, jbuck. I will definitely spend some time looking around in there... |

I like this idea as I have many ASE and Morgans... that are slabbed this would be a great way to organize them and display. |

Finally got around to completing my SBA project.Looks easy (I'm sure to some), but it takes a lot of your time to do so... Here is my finished product, The Sunsan B. Anthony Collection. The pictures are much smaller than my original files; I needed to resize them to post them here. Note: Some of these coins will be replaced in the near future, but how near ~ [she]

Beautiful! If the '81-S is pretty clean you can be sure they are.
Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.

Thank you, jbuck & cladking.. Actually cladking, I'm not too happy with the 1981-S. It's graded MS66+, but I don't think it deserves that high grade. There are a few issues that I can see. It looks like I got taken on this one — that's what I get for being impatient; it cost me $380 in an IGC holder.. This will be the first to go!

It looks like I got taken on this one — that's what I get for being impatient; it cost me $380 in an IGC holder.. This will be the first to go! The '81-S is universally scratched up. The question isn't so much if there are scratches but how many and how deep. True Gem are highly elusive not because of strike or surfaces but because of this ubiquitous marking. The finest I've seen has a few hard to see scratches in the hair that are fairly shallow. I'd call it only a 66. I've seen only a very few Gems. Nice chBU's and MS-64's are not easy. 10% of them can't even be sold as BU I believe. I'm not sure how the services grade this date but I'd grade them as 60% MS-62 and 30% MS-63 and 64. I always thought I'd find a 67 but no luck. Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.

Although it shows an MS66+ on my 81-S slab, it is actually more in the MS62 range. Now that you mention that these are hard to find in a higher MS condition, maybe my coin could rate a MS63; I don't like it one bit! Thanks for the interesting info cladking!  |

Thank you seamonkey5150 I already had the majority of these coins, but it took me time to photograph and set up the pages, not as easy as I said before... |
