Thank you, guys.

Very nice, I was wondering what you had left for the Wheaties
Yeah, they are now confined to the first two pages.
The biggest challenges are the semi-key date coins currently.
Outside of this, I intend to upgrade many of the later series coins, particularly on the fourth and fifth pages. These are easily obtainable in BU condition for not very much. Hell, I might add some proofs also.
For some of the coins that need upgrading that are early Philadelphia mint or before 1975 S proof mint marks, I think I will add a proof instead.
Cause I figured, well, why not? Even though I am not purchasing all proofs (at least not right now), I figure there is no harm in adding some into the mix if they look good and can fit into the same corresponding spot.
For example, my 1971-S isn't particularly nice. Instead of going the BU/business strike right, why not add the proof?
I also got into a bit of an oddball situation over the weekend. So, I'm a member on reddit on the coin subreddit.
Well, another user commented on how they had an extra 1912-S that I could have if I wanted it. Sounds good on paper, right?
When further discussing with them, they go onto state how it cost them around 38 dollars and they initially bought it for a family member's collection, but they already had it.
At that point, I was kinda like, uh.... I can't pay you for it but I don't expect you to give up a coin for free that cost that much. He said that he'd have it around if I had 36 dollars.
Yeah... Thanks.
Like, really? I mean, off the mark, they sounded like they were offering to just give me the coin if I wanted it. I understand, though.
But like, why would I pay you, some random stranger, that I don't know for a coin that I could buy on
ebay or a coin store from someone who I know will actually send me the coin and is more likely more trustworthy?
Sometimes people boggle my mind.
This person could easily take my payment, and send me nothing.
