Well I thought I'd put my want list here in case one of you has what I'm looking for and is willing to part with it. I also think this is the first time I've publicly outlined what my goals for this set are, so to those who have asked what my goals were, here they are.
Generally if I say for example, 64-66, while I'll take a 64 it'd have to have exceptional eye appeal as I am really looking for more gem grades (65 and up) for a lot of these coins.
If you have one that you'd think I'd like, even if it doesn't fall within the stated ranges, shoot me a PM as I'll always take a look.
I will add that when I say (Luster or Toning) I mean that I want either a lusterbomb or a toner, and likewise if I say (Luster and Toning) I want both a lustrous and toned coin. For the draped bust stuff the fully struck scroll is a must, you might think I'm being dramatic when I say I'd pass on a MS coin if it wasn't well struck on the reverse, but I would. For the copper stuff, use your best judgement, those of you who've known me probably know what I'm looking for with them, and if you don't feel free to ask.
