mail187man Valued Member United States 265 Posts	Posted 01/21/2018 3:29 pm Got the last one I needed today, the 32-S. I could probably upgrade a couple but I'm happy with the set I put together. A bunch of the coins in this set were my grandfather's that got passed down to me. Got some AU-BU toners towards the end too. Here are some pics in an older Whitman album.

mail187man Valued Member United States 265 Posts	Posted 01/21/2018 5:35 pm Thanks everyone. The 32-64 set is pretty sweet to have. I had fun putting it together too. The 32D and S weren't crazy expensive for the grades either. I'll probably pick away at putting some lusterous ones in as I find them at good prices. I don't see myself needing to upgrade the key dates for the set (unless someone is practically giving them away). Edited by mail187man 01/21/2018 5:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff
thisistheshow Pillar of the Community United States 987 Posts	Posted 01/21/2018 6:42 pm Congratulations! A real milestone achievement. I am slowly working on the same set and have some questions. You mention adding some toners at the end. Were you trying for a uniform look or did you want to mix it up? Were any dates/mm surprisingly hard? Again, congrats! Report this Post to the Staff
mail187man Valued Member United States 265 Posts	Posted 01/21/2018 7:08 pm I wasn't trying to make it a uniform look. I just added the best ones I already had from my grandfather, and bought ones that I liked that were cheap enough. If I wind up with better ones along the way, I'll replace the more worn ones. It took a bit to find a 32-S I liked for a fair price. There was one that I had a hard time with too but I can't recall which one. I want to say it was one of the S mints from the early 50s.
