My First David Lawrence Purchase: Dansco Almost Done!

Hello, all. My Dansco 8100 project is one coin away from being complete. The goal is simple.

1909-1958: XF-MS all brown

1959 and up: BU Red

I threw myself for a loop when I decided to be rigid with requiring XF or better, and I also decided NO slabs. All of my coins will be in the Dansco album.

When I returned from Iraq some of my key and semi-key coins has were a problem with what I wanted to accomplish.

1909-VDB NGC MS66 Red
1909-S VDB PCGS MS64 RB

These had to be sold because they're not full brown and because I wasn't willing to crack out either in their grades.

1914-D NGC VF20
1922 No D Strong Rev PCGS G06

These had to go because they don't meet my XF+ requirement.

The beast of my project was upgrading my 22 Plain to an XF. I think I paid on the high side. Unfortunately David Lawrence was at $100 bid increments - which amounts to $115 after BP. I really wanted it and when I called David Lawrence with questions I absolutely loved dealing with them. Fantastic customer service! So I figured what the heck.

In any event, here it is. It's a PCGS XF40 and I paid $2300. Last on my list is an 09-S VDB replacement in XF-AU. I'm going to scan and post pics of the whole set when it's done, but realistically it will probably be in a few weeks.
