...still happy on my set choices.

2011 is practically half over so I'd thought I'd look back on the year so far. First, I'm happy with the sets I have right now. The only new one I might add is Mexican 8 Reales minted in Mexico City. Like my Centavo set, if I do make the 8 Reales set, I don't know how finished it will become. But I do love silver so that may make a difference.

Secondly, I've almost finished my Ike dollar proof set. I needed 2 to have a full set, and I received the 1977S clad today. So I just need the 1974S clad to have the set complete.

I have also bought a few coins for my western mints silver. I believe I wrote about the 1841-O dime I purchased a few weeks ago. Today I received a nice 1942-D Merc, graded 66FB, and I have a 1945-D graded 65FB coming. For right now, I've decided just to do the silver sets I like (example, I don't know why, but I don't care for the Roosevelt Dime or the Washington Quarter). However I do like the state quarter and ATB silver proofs. Go figure I guess.

I'm still looking for currency. I've bid on 3 pieces in the last month, but all went for strong prices, so I didn't get any of them. Not that bothers me I guess, strong prices in auction means better prices for what I have.

Well, I'm going to post the obverse of 42-D Merc as my pic of the journal today.
