I have put together a few sets over the years ...
one from circulation before they removed silver
from our coinage - and on occasion, I'd locate a
very nice collectable coin... VF/XF and on a rare
find - through roll searching, I'd find an AU.
Over the course of 4 years, while in college,
I attempted to complete an AU+/MS collection
from dealers' inventories at coin shows. I never
did quite finish that set - and ended up selling
it after college.
A few years passed and I found myself looking at
them with a new perspective, I was only interested
in coins with well struck heads. That set was finally
completed after about a dozen years.
Sold that set [ as well as almost all my coins ] and
ventured into other fields... only to return back in 1994.
Since then, I have worked on a number of collections,
simultaneously, and that culminated in my being ranked
number five all time finest [ with varieties ] at PCGS;
it was not only a surprise but also an honor to tie
the great Louis Eliaberg's set...
Sorry to say, but, I sold that collection as well,
bought a summer cottage with the proceeds on Cape Cod.
A year after selling the cottage, I decided I missed
my collection of SLQ's and have been working on yet
another collection.
I am missing the overdate [ I very well may never get one]
and the 1927-S. This set is lower in grade from the last
one - although I think the look is far superior.
I hope collectors will post their favorites - and I'm
curious to see how this new Thread plays out.
I'm fairly new here - and I have not seen another SLQ
Thread ... so... lets see your Favorite coins !!
I'll start with one from my Father's birthyear !
