Hello there, Figured I'd post a thread about some of the great finds I've had while Starting to Collect US Small Cents.
I started About 2 Months ago, and I think I have done well for being on such a limited Budget(Laid off, odd jobs to get by).
Some of my most notable Finds are:
In a random Pawn Shop in a small town around here for 10 cents each:
1961
LMC Proof
1869 Indian Head G4 condition
16 more Indian Heads in G4-vg8 Condition(no real Notable Dates there)
1920 Great Britain Half Penny vg8
While in California at a Coin Shop in a Random Bucket for 4 cents each:
2x 1914 s, one in g6, other was pretty bad and seemed cleaned/corroded
1911 s in G4
LOTS of other good wheats, Lost of 40's and 50's in BU condition(atleast 100 Coins in the Condition). Enough to Start a 2nd set in pretty good condition.
From finding these great random Finds, here are how my sets Layout:
Set 1
IH - 34/55 - Going for Full Liberty
LWC - 113/126 - Going for VF25 or 30 and better
Set 2:
LWC - 105/126 - Going for Any condition/best of what I have as Extra
