I have two sets that I am focused on presently. I am easily distracted by round shiny objects and will buy coins for the multitude of other ongoing sets. The first set, I was going to find all 1956-1964 Reverse B silver Washington Quarters. That has led to an attempt to fill all the holes from 1932-1964 in a two-set folder. This is a raw mint state coin set. Although, I have found a couple slabbed coins for about the same price as raw coins. I cracked them out to put into the folder. Most of the set so far has been purchases from eBay. That is no easy task. I have spent hours upon hours looking for coins to go in this set. While I have filled a lot of the holes in the folder from eBay purchases, I have also begun to fill a tube of junk silver Washington quarters. The bad purchases were hairlines and coins that looked mint state in the pic but, were not in hand. I'm a little over half of the two-set folder filled and still haven't found all the Reverse B quarters. In mint state. My second set is my moped set. You know, the set you have, but, you don't want people to see you have it. I wanted to do the NGC registry thing. When I looked into the registry set game, I found it was going to be expensive to compete in the upper echelons. The registry set I chose is 357 slots and affordable in high grades. I'll never finish the set, but it does allow me to fill holes with a variety of high point coins. There is mint state, proofs, SMS, and satin finish coins in the set. Every date, mintmark and variety as well. The most fascinating aspect of this coin, for me, is that it is a long running series that has had no major design changes to the obverse or reverse. The lowly Roosevelt dime. The set has actually been rewarding. Trying to put a blast white set of 1946-1964 dimes together is not as easy as it seems. From 1965-Present, some years have less than 10 graded in full torch. To stay near the top, 1000+ point coins are a must. My highest point coin in the set? A 1985-D NGC graded MS 67 FT. The most expensive coin in the set? The one below and it ain't SMS.

The marks on the devices(Liberty's cheek), anything could have made those. The marks under her chin, in the fields, looks like corrosion. I thought about struck through debris also. But, it looks more like corrosion to me with a dip.

Nice find for less than a dollar.
