Those of you that completed the
Flying Eagle cents and
Standing Liberty quarters, does that include the 1856 and the 1916, respectively? That would be very impressive!
Completed:Flying eagle (no 1856)
Indian Head cents (with many varieties, including 64/64, 73 open and closed 3, 86 T1 & 2, 97 1 in neck, 94/94, 69/69; all the regular business strikes are F or better except 72, 76, 77 and 09S; the 77 is F details but corroded and the 09S is close to F, but a strong VG-- I've been upgrading this set for many years and have many AU/BU pieces; 64L key is EF, 71 is VF-EF, 70 is F+, 08S is VF-EF). This set is my absolute favorite to work on.
Lincoln wheat cents (no 55
DDO, but do have 72
DDO in AU and 22 no D in G-VG; 1934-present are all BU with a few exceptions; several before this are EF-AU- also have been upgrading this set for many years. The 09S VDB is a F details, but scratched with initials)
Lincoln memorial cents with proofs (1959-2007, all BU)
Liberty nickels (common date 1900s are nearly all F or better full Liberty, keys are low grade)
Buffalo nickels (with 37D 3 legged and 18/17-D overdate, just one coin is acid restored; 13D T2 is VF full horn, but most other keys are AG-VG range)
Jefferson nickels 38-present but missing a lot of proofs
Barber dimes (completed this year)
FDR dimes (46-present with proofs and 96W all BU, except don't have 2008-P)
Washington quarters (32-2007 with all proofs; 40-present all BU)
Barber halves (completed this year)
Walking Liberty halves (many AU/BU in the 41-47 range)
Franklin halves (all BU, most FBL; also with the proofs)
JFK halves (all BU; but lacking many proofs, with 74 D
DDO in AU)
Peace dollar (most EF-BU; 28 is AU)
Close to completed:Large cent (need 8, all between 1793-1811; plus some varieties if I wish to go there. I just started this set this year, so it needs a lot of upgrading, has just three F or better)
2 cent (need 64 sm motto & 1872 keys)
Shield nickel (need 5, 3 are keys)
Mercury dime (needs 16D- hope to buy this year; most 1938-45 are AU-BU, some with full split bands)
Barber quarter (need just the big two; picked up an 96S this year)
Morgan dollar (need 5, all keys, hope to get at least two this year)
Ike dollar (BU with proofs, need 73S silver proof)
SBA dollar (BU with proofs, need 79S clear S proof & 99S proof)
SAC dollar (BU with proofs, only current to 2006; need all 2007-present)
Just started: Seated dimes (from 75-92 need just 12-13, 5 of which are tough)
3 Cent nickels
3 cent silver
20 cent piece (have just two)
Probably would like to start on some bust coinage and seated quarters/halves, but it would "break the bank".
