This eventually needs a few upgrades, but is complete for now (until PCGS adds something else to the set). The first complete set in the category. I found it a very, very tough set to complete in higher grades (higher being very relative, depending upon the year and variety). https://www.PCGS.com/SetRegistry/ca...imeset/11655http://www.victoriancent.com2011 & 2025 Fred Bowman Literary Award Winner, 2020 J.

40 years, off and on. Patience is required for coin collectors and Red Sox fans (I assume from your CCF name that you are also) , but it is so satisfying when the goal is reached! |

Thanks for the kind words everybody. As I said, not an easy set to assemble.
I have been a Red Sox fan since Little League in Maine (a long time ago), though bad times and good. I have been a fourth generation Coastie, active duty and retired, for nearly as long.

Who woulda thought that 2 of the most diligent Canada large cent collectors were lifelong US Coastguardsmen from the 60's through the late 90's? (bosox and I)
