cipster Pillar of the Community United States 2362 Posts	Posted 03/26/2019 1:42 pm A 1793 Chain Cent is the coin I've wanted since I started collecting Large Cents about 10 years ago but now I realize that I'm too old to buy it. Seriously, many colleagues my age are selling their collections and I don't have a close family member who is interested in coins. But, this thread inspired me to fill the final hole in my Mercury dime album - the 1916D. I started it in the early 1950's using the pocket change my Dad brought home every day. In a few years using Dad's pocket change I filled all the holes except the 16D. The years 1916 - 1925 are mostly G coins but the years that follow are mostly VF - XF coins. I got the 16D today in a G04 PCGS slab because that reflects the grade of other coins in the early dates of my album. Member ANA and EAC "You got to lose to know how to win".

Sharkman Valued Member United States 461 Posts	Posted 03/26/2019 11:03 pm The two biggest "whales" I need for the comprehensive type set I am assembling are an MS65 Barber Half and an MS64 Liberty Seated Half dated 1879-1890 (extremely low mintage years, but many were saved). Both these babies run about $2k apiece +/-. That is more than any of the gold coins I am hoping to buy. If I suddenly had a $2k windfall, I would buy one or the other, choosing the most irresistible example. Without the windfall, obtaining both is a long term goal. Report this Post to the Staff

souvasco New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 04/04/2019 12:18 pm I collect 3CS and am working on a full business strike set. I have a complete run from 1851-1862, including an AU53 1851-O that I picked up as an "XF weak strike" (yes!), BU 1856 and 1857. One day I'll upgrade my 1851/52s from F+ and 53/53 from VF and 1858 from XF (cleaned). But! After some serious hustling and saving, I just got an MS62 1869! So basically anything from 1863-1872, no details. Maybe in a decade I'll finish the set and can work on varieties, an 1873 proof, and a pattern! But here's the 1869. Report this Post to the Staff
