Now THOSE are the type of coins I could easily live with. I'm working on Half Cents and large cents by variety (which, of course, I'll never be able to complete). But let me check my Megamillions ticket. Nope, not this time. |

Those are standout examples! Absolutely awesome coins, very nice pickups and congratulations on the upgrade.

Nice Barry!,
Did you offer to trade the old ones with some additional cash? Or just purchased the new one.

Beautiful upgrades! I have been stuck on upgrading Mid dates for the last year. I am now just starting the Earlier dates. finished the classic heads last week. tough set to build. just glad I'm not trying to collect varieties. 50+ for the 94.......... I think that would be impossible to finish in my life time lol.
let me know if you have any extras laying around youd like to rid of.
thanks
RB

I like the 1794, it makes a nice upgrade. The 1802, well the new coin has better sharpness, but personally I'd rather have the lower grade coin. To me it has more eye appeal.

Fantastic upgrades! But were you not worried, @barryg, walking around with such a huge pile of cash to purchase these coins? |

I like the original 1802 better myself too. In addition to the better eye appeal Conder mentions, it is the 1/000 fraction on the reverse.

The place is monitored by guards and I have never heard of anybody having any problems. Plus, I keep my money and coins in a shoulder bag that looks like this:  The strap goes over my shoulder, but the bag itself sits under my arm, so I don't have to worry about anybody picking my pocket. |

But this is for my type set and I felt it was time to get an example with more details after all these years. I'll probably keep the original in my actual 7070 album since the new one is in a slab and I don't feel like cracking it open. |
