GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 04/11/2010 9:07 pm VERY NICE! I think you have some great looking coins in there, I really like the 1804 Half Cent and both Capped Bust half dollars ... good job Report this Post to the Staff
TDColl Valued Member United States 161 Posts	Posted 04/11/2010 9:32 pm I really like that set! Especially nice are your selections in bust and Seated coins. The circulated Oregon half is a nifty touch that only a numismatist would appreciate! (must have taken forever to find that!) Report this Post to the Staff

johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 04/11/2010 11:39 pm WAY TO GO KENKAT! Very nice looking set! You beat me to completion! This is a tough set to put together regardless of grade, and you have some great examples in there. I think my favorite is your draped bust large cent. It looks very clean and has an attractive color with decent details. These coins command a high premium without corrosion, and I have yet to find a decent one in the price range I'm willing to work with. Also, is your type 1 slq whizzed? Report this Post to the Staff
afcop13 Pillar of the Community United States 1409 Posts	Posted 04/12/2010 08:01 am Wow....someday I'll start a 7070, I have to force myself to focus on one or two things at a time. You have some awesome examples in there - congrats! Report this Post to the Staff
KenKat Pillar of the Community United States 4085 Posts	Posted 04/12/2010 10:02 am Thanks again everyone! I can't tell you how much I enjoy having a place where I can see other's collections and share mine with others who love coins as much as I do. I really tried to select nice looking coins while still staying on a budget. It was very tough. Compromises were made! One coin at a time - I struggled with patience - a very hard thing for me. It's also a hard set to photograph. I played around with lighting a lot to mostly good results. Brown copper next to bright silver is a real challenge! Quote: Wonderful set and congratulations! I struggle parting with the money for Seated dollars. Those were two of the more expensive coins in the album. I got the 1860-O from an ANACS details slab (Cleaned, Corroded - but I don't see the corroded part) at a great price and the 1872 I also got a pretty good deal on raw from a reliable dealer.

These coins command a high premium without corrosion, and I have yet to find a decent one in the price range I'm willing to work with. Also, is your type 1 slq whizzed? The 1800 Draped Bust Large Cent was purchased along with the 1810 Classic Head Large Cent for what is an unbelievable price of $50 for both. I was buying some Lincoln Wheat Cents and the guy asked what else I collected and I talked about my 7070 and he offered these two. They are only in the G/VG range, but nice overall and corrosion-free. They were planned to be hole fillers but given what these cost in higher grades, they may be there for awhile. A long while! I was told the Type 1 SLQ came out of an ANACS AU details slab - cleaned. It was raw when I bought it. It has started to retone and the cleaning is pretty light. The price was good so there it is. It is a pretty nice looking coin actually but didn't photograph very well due to lighting challenges related to the toned coins above. My 7070 US Type Set My 7100 Lincoln Cent Set (now with updates!)

I thought the draped bust cent was more VG/F, but I'm never good at grading these. IMO it's worth way more than $50 all by itself. Report this Post to the Staff
oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 04/12/2010 11:00 am Now you did it! I had to purchase the album to put my type coins in. Thanks for the push! BTW...great looking set! Report this Post to the Staff

IMO it's worth way more than $50 all by itself. The guy I bought them from thought they were both "almost" VG. I can see the Draped Bust making VG although it is pretty weak around the rims. F is a big stretch although it does have pretty good hair detail. Regardless, they were a great score for me - honest wear but otherwise problem free. I've kinda grown attached to them!
