Sweeeet! How about a close-up of your favorite acquisition in this book?

My favorite for sentimental reasons is the 1883 n/c because it was the first nice coin I could afford back when I was 7 in 1973.  Not the nicest grade. The 1909 has the most original luster. All the coins were raw. Edited by Wizardnyc

It's always a pretty cool accomplishment to complete a set. Some sets are extremely difficult, especially where some of the coins are almost always slabbed and would have to be broken out to actually put it into a set.
But, you're not done yet! It looks like there's a handful of coins (some of which are fairly common) that should be easy to upgrade for a bit more quality and eye appeal. Even the key date ones you might want to consider upgrading to a higher grade (but when you can afford it, of course!).
Good job!

First step is to replace 2 cleaned coins ( what did I know back when I was 11; the 1893 and the 1906. Also, upgrade the 1895 to at least a high XF and replace the 1891. Next, I want all 1900s to be AU. Not hard, but will take time. Most are soooo overpriced. Also, acquire a proof... kept slabbed. Edited by Wizardnyc
