Pmint1 Valued Member United States 465 Posts	Posted 04/21/2024 11:56 pm I'm looking for my next challenge. I'm considering trying to assemble a date set of one cent, problem free, good and better coins. Other than 1793, 1877 and 1856 what challenges would there be? I collect with "extra" money I acquire from tax refunds , bonus', etc so I like to generally keep purchases under $100 per coin but occasionally can spend $500 to $2000. Is this a potential set for me to pursue or too difficult with my constraints? Report this Post to the Staff

Other dates that might be speed-bumps for you are 1799, 1804, 1806, 1821, 1823, and 1872. Report this Post to the Staff
