I have been having a heck of a time finding a good looking Flying eagle and a cornet Half Cent for my type set. I fear I wont like the flying eagle until it is in MS. There are so many details in the feathers that I cant seem to live without. |

I'm saving for a 1877 IHC, so far I've been pretty good about letting the coin allowance grow, but it's not easy. I feel like I let a couple deals go. |

There must be something about the 1885 Indian cents, I've got a fine or so but, can't seem to find one in AU or better, that's reasonably priced.  |

Nothing as most everything I want is easily found from forum members or online/shows plus I'm not a real picky person :D

For me it's the 1815 Bust Half Dollar that grinds my gears. I have decent quality halfs for every year starting in 1803 but no 1815. I guess I could buy one if I sold my car.  I thought I had a chance about a year ago but the seller changed his mind about selling.  Member ANA and EAC "You got to lose to know how to win". Dream On by Aerosmith |

You won't believe me, but I have found it most difficult to locate a nice enough 1908 Barber dime! I am most fussy about my set, and this one eludes me. It just SPOILS the balance, the one that I have. For me, balance in a set is most important. Took me AGES to find a 1902-S Dime! But I did. When I was NOT looking for it. ARGH. |

Mine are at least a fine and most above that up to AU.
It is my one, and only, "WOW" set.
The nicest compliment that I got, just last month, was, "How nice! They are balanced."
Took YEARS to get to this point.
My 1895-O is an AU-58 - broke my bank account but am glad to this day that I bought it.
I ground my gears for many years to get to this point.
Do not each one of us have a series that we focus upon?
I suspect that we all do.

Then get ahold of Rick Snow at indiancent.com he has a super looking 1858 in AU that sure looks better than a lot of MS coins I've seen, and his price is pretty good too.

I want to sell off a few, not high grade, Indian cents. Mean with "Liberty" showing. If there is any interest please let me know. Actually, ALL of my Indians are up for sale. I have not as yet tried to sell anything here and I do not want to make any mistakes. I have been, selling, to local dealers. And I am not at all unhappy. But not these cents so far. How should I proceed? |

/beats the mods to this post Matthew, you should proceed by posting them in buy/sell/trade, which is the appropriate forum. I'm not the only IHC collector, and probably not the only one who would be interested, on this forum. |

ninamason,
Would you consent to review my first "sell" offer prior to actually posting it?
Actually, help me to compose it correctly?

Matthew,
I don't actually hang out often in the sell section--trades is where you'll find me. Just describe well and accurately, set your price, and PICTURES!! PICTURES!! PICTURES!!
