Neither of the 1922 issues is present. You're seeing coins on the ensuing page. I think it was a really good buy, or I would have left it. I wasn't really in the mood for a set, but had I been specifically seeking a place to start a nice collection of Lincoln cents ... odds are I couldn't have found a set anywhere near this nice. I'm glad I was looking when I was.

I bought a similar set in a Whitman album at a public sale recently. With all the focus on silver, the bidders ignored it. It's fun to buy someone else's partial set, then work it up gradually to your own standards.
BTW I have a strong interest in non-USA silver. Let me know what you have to unload.

I will compile a list and PM it to you. I even have some medievel coins from 900 - 1100 AD. I forget exactly what they're called, but I have a small bag full of them. There are 16 of them to be exact.

I see you're account is set that you can't receive PMs from members. I researched these online to determine composition .. Here's what I have:

50% silver coins ... 1 1935 Irish Shilling probably VF or better, 1927 1 escudo, Portugal ... maybe VG at best, 1 1953 British Shilling VF or a bit better perhaps. 1 1941 British sixpence XF most likely. 1 1941 threepence to match, in similar grade. My favorite is the Portuguesa 2$50 with a nice ship on the obverse. It's dated 1951 and has considerqable mint luster yet. Total weight 26.6 grams

75% (.750) silver ... Philipinas 5 pcs 1944 10 centavos in XF-AU ... and a 20 centavos 1917-S that has something going on with the last digit in the date. I'm attaching a picture of that one. Total weight of the .750 .. 13.9 grams

.800 silver ... Canada 2 1957 quarters 1 XF and 1 AU, 1 1940 dime in VG, and 1 1945 dime in XF 16.3 grams total for the .800

.925 silver Canada ... 1 dateless quarter Georgivs V in AG, just worn. Same Devices as the lone 1920 dime that's also pretty worn, but has a legible date at least. 1 1901 5 cents "love token" 4 small holes, probably the centerpiece of a bracelet. There's 1 small link attached which is likely gold. 8.4 grams.

The medievel pieces are proving to be a little more difficult to research right now... but I knew where they were from a few years ago. They're about dime sized, crudely hammered, with a letter H in the center of the obverse. They're worth about 3 bucks each.

That's all I've got in the "non-US" silver department.
