@Catbert said: @MrSpud you've been on a type acquisition rampage! I like the coins you add to your collection. How far along are you in your type set journey (say in percentage terms)?
I just noticed this question, but I sort of answered it when I posted my most recent purchase and it moved 2 of my circulated type sets to the #1 rank across the street in their Registry. But still just #2 here in PCGS Registry.
In terms of percent, the bar graphs below summarize that pretty good. The main ones I’ve been focused on are the 19th Century Circulated ones.
Now that I have a reverse pic, I’m sharing it again. I really wanted an AU, but the price is just too prohibitive. All in all, I still feel this is a very attractive coin. I’m happy with it. The mint luster is very strong even though my pics didn’t quite capture it all.

Underbid this in the original auction of the Reiver collection. Missed bidding months back on Great Collections. Paid up about 10% over that bid+juice to wrestle it away. Rare coin.

May I ask, What is the significance of the year 1891?
Nothing of significance to me personally, I just recently picked up the 1891 seated liberty quarter and decided to build that year of types. Honestly though this board really got me hooked on coins. I very much enjoy looking at all the coins from all the forum members and wanted to start a collection of my own to pass down to my daughter. I enjoy the "hunt" to find the right coin for my collection....1891 was just a starting point.....
1853, is the same for me. Not a significant date but I got a great deal on the $10 gold so I was off to the races with that date. Since, I've added 1/2 dime, dime, $1, and just won my Stacks auction yesterday with a very nice $2.5 Quarter Eagle. Love those mid-century modern coins. Lol.

Nice and handsome BB-160 example. The relapped reverse is so distinct in the weak left and right extreme stars, but most evident in the loss of the berries on the branch. You picked an interesting one.

OGH Shield Nickel for the type set
I agree Joe, and I'm not a fan of Barbers.
I love Shield Nickels!
I haven’t posted any acquisitions in a while so here’s my latest.

1799 BB-151. Holed. I already have one of these in PCGS VF25. This looks like maybe VF35 Details.
Edit: Mistakes were make and I don't know how to delete this XD
Purchased a few months ago. Not a high grade but the detail is nice and bold for a 30.

Ok she's "details" but I've wanted a Twenty center for a long time and the price was very right
