Another tough hole filled today... Outstanding!  It is a tough hole, for sure. I let one get by me and it was several years before I found another I liked that was in my budget. |

Type sets are truly amazing, and you have some beautiful coins to show off. I have about 10 holes left in my set. Hopefully I'll be able to fill them in the near future.

Nice! IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Nice score on that Classic Head cent. I know those are very tricky to get in good condition.

You don't see a classic head with honest wear often! Fantastic picks!

@jbuck, which hole are you currently missing?
My dream is one day I'll be able to compile a type set of much higher-quality coins to really show off their beauty, but there's something to be said for the lesser-quality and circulated coinage (particularly in a type set) to know all these different coins you have in your possession have actually passed through countless hands all throughout history.

I think he is missing one of the Seated dollar slots, the one with the motto. |

Great additions! You seem to have a good eye to pick coins. Quote:Went a little over the top Saturday AM at a show in NY state. Filled 12 more holes. Here are a few to start off with. If you keep banging your head every time you buy a coin, you will be banging your head 76 times. Might not have a head left after completing your Dansco album!  Edited by NumisEd
