    Really enjoy looking at your coins.

    @Inlander , I love those strong strikes that show details in the tops of the first three feather tips, just like yours. I also appreciate strong clashing, like your 1864. Way to go!

    I like 'em!! Sure, there's something to be said for quality... but quantity has a quality all of it's own. :smile:

    @Ikenefic
    All the large cent dates are readable with the naked eye, but the album protective cover prevents capturing them. The half cents are better quality and easy to see regardless. Thank you.

    A readable date on an 1804 LC is something I aspire to!!

    Sorry but the 1804 is a COPY. My bad. Photo corrected.

    No worries! The closest I ever came to a complete date run of Large Cents still lacked "the three"...

    My last hope is to drop the large cents and go for a 93, 94, & 96 liberty cap half cent and the 02 Draped Bust Half Cent. Then, I will most likely be done. Hopefully, I will be able to get the 02 at FUN this July, if I sell enough. lol

    Thanks Steve! I paid a little premium for that '64, but I'm very happy with it.

    Very nice 9/6!! Yours looks to be a later die state?

    Yes die state 2. There is a die state 3, which is terminal. This was a bucket list coin for quite awhile; this was a raw coin from an estate collection that I got first shot at about 12
    years ago, that I recently got slabbed. Tough coin to find above VG.

    Re: your 1817…..is that a “peaking mouse”, or is she just excited to see us all? 😉

    Thanks for your kind words, @jesbroken. I will be making the sets public as I complete them. It's a slow process, but I love it! :smiley:

    I am a newer collector (started April 2020), and I primarily focus on U.S. Half Cents and Type Coins. Early copper is my favorite.

  • jesbrokenjesbroken Posts: 10,110 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I love it also. Best of luck.
