Very nice  IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Those are beautiful coins! The braided hair types look to be AU.

how about some closeups Yes that way we can drool over them even more! My fave of the group is the '08 Half Cent. Well done. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

You say that like it's a bad thing  doing a type set, it is sure satisfying to kill 4 birds with 1 stone, so nice progress today, those coins look super. |

The first "old" coin I ever bought was an 1808 Half Cent. I remember I saw an ad for it in Numismatic News--this was around 1972. The ad's description said "Scr.", which I took to mean "scarce." It actually meant "scratch," for a scratch to the left of Lady Liberty. Otherwise, the coin is in fine shape. It currently resides in my 7070.  |

This is the first coin I started with. My father started me with it in 1959 or 60 and haven't looked back since. My photographic skills suck, but it's BU+.     Edited by Alpha33
