Hi all, here's a little set of draped silvers I put together, I picked them specifically for that look where they have a dark border but lighter on the inside. I know tastes run all over the place, some like bright throughout, others a 'circulation cameo', there's the flat gunmetal look, but this is the look that calls to me. What do you think?  |

I love it! The appearance is consistent and attractive across the board. Next step, get yourself a draped bust Half Dime, and next upgrade that quarter to match the condition of the others  Then all the gold types  Suffering from bust half fever.

Thank you all! For the quarter I (obviously) wanted a 1796 but in this range of condition the price tag is just too much, so a later coin will have to suffice. And I have a Half Dime and half dollar, both are raw and with 'problems', so for now the type set has the slots filled but those would be my next upgrades. Thank you again, cheers! |

You are putting together a beautiful set. Thanks for sharing it with us. 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."

Showing the reverses brings up another question, whether the small eagle is needed to fulfill the "type". Here only the dime has the small bird, the other two are the later (lower-cost) large eagle. Hoping to convince myself that the draped bust obverse is "all you need" But guess that's a topic for a separate thread. |
