I know many of you have seen this posted across the street but I want to share it here too for those who don't venture there.

Overlook the duplicates. I'm still trying to decide which to include.

 

 

 

Many here think of me as more of a medal guy. I will admit, I do love a nice 19th century bronze.

I do love U.S. coins as well. I am fortunate to really enjoy nice circulated coins. They fit my budget and I'm happy with them.

I'm the kind of guy that likes to see a Gobrecht in 65 but if you gave me one I'd probably sell

it and buy a nice circulated example.

I look for coins that have a certain look and mark free surfaces. I usually buy them when and where I find them.

I recently decided to try and actually put them into some kind of set. I find I have multiples of some

and am lacking in other departments. I will be adding more as I find them but wanted to share what I have.

Please share your thoughts, good or bad.

 

I tried to shrink the pics, hopefully they are large enough to appreciate.

I didn't want to be forever known as "The Guy" who shut down the forum completely.

Great looking set! I don't know which one I like the best. '77 Trade Dollar, 1860 Seated Half, 1875 Seated quarter and the 1853 Arrows and Rays are my favs! Coming in a close second: 1898 Barber Quarter, the CBH's and the 1912 Barber Half.

I like that set quite a bit. Circulated collections (to me) seem to have the greatest amount of history associated with them.

 

Your set is filled with what-ifs - The most prestigious uncirculated sets do not carry very much romanticism for the imagination to work with, imo.
