numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11896 Posts	Posted 10/23/2024 1:27 pm Was able to add another. This is an interesting date as FDR had just been elected and began solving the issues wrought by the Depression. Only cents, half dollars and a few double eagles were minted in 1933. Now only 1869, 1873 and 1940 left. 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."

NumisEd Pillar of the Community United States 5191 Posts	Posted 10/23/2024 7:51 pm Amazing collection, numismatic student! I am also pleasantly surprised by the quality of the strike of the early dollars. For instance, the 1794 Flowing Hair Dollar in XF40 is exquisitely sharp and vibrant. Report this Post to the Staff
numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11896 Posts	Posted 10/25/2024 09:32 am Thanks for your continued kind comments. I have a predilection for unworn reverse dies for this issue, as I love seeing the fine vertical lines in 'III' sharply struck. One more addition knocking 1869 out. Just 1873 and 1940 left.

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11896 Posts	Posted 10/25/2024 9:56 pm Thanks Dearborn. Finally got around to updating the web page with the set. I also picked up the penultimate coin in the set - just one more left, 1873. Here is the penultimate item, the 1940 Liberty Walking half dollar.

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11896 Posts	Posted 10/27/2024 4:27 pm Thanks jp and jb! Added the 1947 walker below to extend the set to 1947 as that is the end of the Walking Liberty half dollars.

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11896 Posts	Posted 10/27/2024 4:52 pm I thought about extending the set to 1964 which the last year of silver coinage or 1982, the last year of bronze coinage. I will consider doing those extensions in the future. I am just unsure about going to the moderns, but I am leaning towards doing it. I did switch the 1864 1c with L on ribbon to a 1864 2c as that was the first year of that odd denomination series. Also switched the 1892-CC Morgan with the 1892 Liberty nickel because I love the spectacular toning. The coins I switched out can still be found in the Indian cent and Morgan dollar pages at the site. Just choosing the best representative coin in the boxes for each date.

hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7276 Posts	Posted 10/27/2024 5:00 pm You can go to 2009 if you want to include the 4 commemorative Lincoln cents. If going to 2009, I would add ASE, that way you can keep it with precious metals. There are a lot of coins that could be included like some commemoratives, the ASE, AGE. I'm like you though a lot of modern is just not my thing. My Slabbed Dansco 7070 with Gold Page My Slabbed IHC Set My Slabbed 20th Century Type Set Report this Post to the Staff

Lots of good options to consider I also have some gold bullion coins that I can maybe incorporate.
