I'd like to introduce the newest Pretty Pennies in my personal collection!

I recently acquired these three Indian cents for my own collection, two of which are replacing ones I already had. See I made a pact with myself when I became a dealer that, unless it was a neat variety or error, I would only keep one of each date for my personal collection. So when I find a coin I like better than the one in my collection, then I would have to sell the one being replaced. Even though sometimes I would like to and it's hard to part with them, I wouldn't keep them both. So here are my newest Pretty Pennies!
This 1864 Bronze S-10 Indian cent is new cool variety that I didn't have in my set. It has a really neat bi-secting die crack from 11:00 to 4:00, plus the coin is really pretty!
This 1874 PCGS MS66 BN was a tough decision to replace the one I already had in my set, PCGS MS65 RD. Yes, the 65 red is more valuable and extremely pretty and I'm sure many of you would have kept it, but my taste leans towards lustrous toned high grade brown and this one hit the mark, so I decided to go with the brown one in this case. Here's the new one
Here's the one it replaced (the picture doesn't show the beautiful gold and pink toning very well because of the woodgrain planchet, but believe me, this one is very red and very beautiful in hand
Then I just picked up this 1903 at the FUN show and forgot to have Todd photograph it for me. It has the most beautiful emerald green and pink obverse toning that I couldn't resist replacing the pretty magenta toned one I already had (the reverse just has the usual RB toning). Here's the new one
And the one it replaced
In case anyone is interested, my entire personal collection is on my website here:

Love the first 1874, I bet it is way better in hand. Incredible luster and color.
Your personal collection is absolutely phenomenal Charmy, thanks for the eye candy.
I think you should be able to keep one each of your finest BN, RB, and RD of each date and not feel like you are “getting high on your own supply” 😁
All are just fantastic! To my eyes, the 1874 has the perfect IHC 'look'. Neat stuff!

Looking for Top Pop Mercury Dime Varieties & High Grade Mercury Dime Toners.
Those are all gorgeous, Charmy. Just beautiful.
I stopped by your table at the FUN show Sunday.
I guess I missed out on my hug.
So sorry to have missed that hug Joe! I don't usually stay at shows on Sundays, especially back east shows since it takes a full day to travel home, and I need a day to "rest" before I take on my 2-year-old grandson for the week (not to mention all the post-show work that needs to be done!).
Perhaps you can make it to the Santa Clara show in April? Would love to give that hug and share a glass of wine with you if you can make it.

Not my series but very nice, especially, for me at least, the ‘64.

Impressive is an understatement. It's great to see an experts collection that includes different grades and holders.
Very NICE Upgrades, Charmy. I especially like the 1903 as it has toning usually only found on proofs. I totally share your focus on eye appeal and less on technical grade. I have better eye appeal coins than some in my registry set and they would give my digital album much more eye appeal. Registry points do not always relate to happiness and or satisfaction.
OINK
Your cool new coins look different enough from your older coins to warrant keeping them all. That’s tough to stick to that rule, especially on that group.
Very nice....I love them all!
Very nice. But more importantly what does Penny think of the new acquisitions? Also on the new 74 whats going on under/to the right of the 74 in the date?
Thank you everyone for all the kind comments on my Pretty Pennies. They are near and dear to my heart, each and every one of them!
Bluejay, Penny does not have a discerning eye, she likes laying all over them just like any other coin. And that's a neat die crack that runs across the bottom of the date through the 4.

These are great Charmy!
I love the "personal pennies" moniker
Stunning Pennies for sure. Makes me want to dive into copper.
Later, Paul.
