Cents : Indian Head, LWC, LMC, LSC. Nickels : V nickel, Indian Head, Jefferson.  Dime : Seated Liberty, Barber, Winged Liberty, Roosevelt Quarter : Barber, Standing Liberty, Washington Half Dollar : Seated Liberty, Barber, Walking Liberty, Ben Franklin   So here's the question, how much should a Shield nickel and a Seated Liberty quarter set me back?  |

Yeah this is certainly a low-ball set, I got the first 2 Seated coins for $19.50 and the Indian Head for $2.00. My LCS likes me so I hope they won't gouge me too much  Edit: thanks for the links Edited by ASLAN TVorlon

If you don't care about grade you could probably get a Shield nickel for less than 20$ |

I have a lowball damaged 1870? Shield nickel that I bought for $1.25, so they can be had for cheap. |

Great job at working on your type set! I picked up an 1853 Arrows and Rays Seated quarter in G-4 for about $18.00 a couple years ago, of course that was when silver was higher. I'm not sure about Shield nickels because I don't have one either... |

Thanks for the replies all  and yes I have no problem with LOW ball pieces  If I could fill that page for under $20 I'd be over the moon, under $30, heck good enough I'll keep you all posted... I just took the page into my bank, the teller is a silver CRH-type too, so I have been telling her about my finds and purchases, the other teller said she had never seen some of the coins in the set (the older ones) |

I had an idea on the early five cent hole, what about a half-disme?  It would add silver but skip the Shield nickel but this is not exactly a '7070 in ms-65+' just a nice page of coins. So what is the general availability of half-disme's and what would a good price be in G-VG condition? Edited by ASLAN TVorlon

Seated half dimes in G-VG really shouldn't cost that much. I paid $12-15 each for a couple a few years back at a LCS. Capped Bust Half Dimes on the other hand get expensive fast, probably starting at $40 for a problem free G-4. I was looking at a 1835 VF-20 a few days ago and they wanted $90.

If $20-25 dollars is not out of the question a decent Shield nickel is doable. So might be other denominations. Maybe $40 or so for a nice quarter. I stumbled upon a nickel in that range with decent details (fine?). My acquisition of Seated examples has been "when they appeared and struck my fancy" I bought them. Just to have some type examples. Joe2007, Yes, Half Dimes are a good deal in that grade and price range. Of course, I went overboard on an 1837 first year of issue 'no stars' but kept it cheap for an 1838 'with stars' for $30. Fine+ ASLAN, I gave not the lowest prices but the lowest for better than good examples. You can easily spend less. |

The search continues, I'm going to my LCS on Friday I'll post here if I get anything to fill the page. I was looking at a Maria Theresa Thaler they had and a few miniature St, Gaudens Replicas. So we shall see in 56 hours I still think I'd prefer the half-dime for this set. |
