Well, after a good bit of time spent building this set, I finally filled the last hole today. It isn't much, and there's several coins I'd like to upgrade (most of the dimes and quarters). But it's mine. Since this forum has been so instrumental in my love of the hobby, I thought I'd share my humble set. Next step is a Dansco 7070!    |

Very nice! I love the look of a BU Wheat cent. The Dansco 7070 is a great choice for a next step. It may seem impossible to fill at first, but it goes by quick if you keep at it. The 7070 also exposes you to different types and denominations that may lead you to building a specialized collection. That is how I fell for collecting bust halves. Once I complete my 7070, I will post pictures, hopefully by the end of this year. Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety?

It is always nice to complete a set like this, and everyone who completes this particular set has it personalized to their own desires on what they want their 20th century type set to look like, dates and conditions they want to choose. Personally, mine looks a little different than yours, and includes the birth year set which I gladly filled. Just curious what mintmark your 1884 Morgan dollar is? The S mintmark starts to pick up some serious value in the condition yours is in and higher, the CC mintmark is always special, the O mintmark is so-so, and the most common mint is Philadelphia, with no mint. Also curious if your 1897 Barber half either has an O or an S mintmark, then it becomes a key date both ways, or could be just a common Philadelphia mint. The only other one to check for good value is your 1901 Barber dime, the S mintmark is considered a semi-key even in low grades like yours, and the O mint is a little better than average. Cool set!

The Morgan, Barber dime, and Barber Half are all P mints. I sure wish they had mintmarks! |

Hey very nice work on this set @bull. Despite the heavy circulation wear, I think that Standing Liberty quarter is my fave. Be sure to keep us updated as you fill in your 7070! "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."
