Picked up a couple more VF35s for my SLQ set. Purchased the 23-S (a toughie) from the good folks at West Coast Coins, and the 26-S on eBay last week.
I saw a couple of 23-S SLQs at the West Coast Coins table on Thursday. Did you see the XF?

No, I actually picked up the West Coast 23-S up in the Seattle area a month or two ago.
Always looking for original, better date VF20-VF35 Barber quarters and halves, and a quality beer.
Wow - this is a great thread. Good luck to completion! Love seeing the circ sets put together. I think that limiting yourself to VF will lengthen the time needed to complete the set so I say 4-5 years to complete unless you get some luck. Not a high priority but I am trying to very slowing put a AU58 CAC set together. I am expecting a 5 year mission along with my other sets that I am trying to do.
Having read this thread again I think the @TOMB poster gave you some good advice. When looking at the type 3 coins I think coins in 40-45 will make a lot of sense and offer a step up in detail for very little cost. Good luck either way. James
I picked up a couple more VF35s this month, a nice 17-D Type 2, and a 30-S. Both popped up on eBay.
I recently passed on a few others I saw at a local coin show, as they were white, and appeared lightly cleaned. Hopefully 2025 will bring a few more dates. 13 down, 25 to go.
Happy Holidays!

Something about those original VFs that is really appealing and takes us old guys back to our early days of collecting...that is one gorgeous matched set.
The thing with albums for me has always been, they are wonderful for coins that -- holdered or not -- makes little difference in their retail value. Start getting into better grades for some series, or of a value that people would question why it's not slabbed, eventually it should be slabbed (if you're intending on selling, just to get fair value out of it.)
I think back to the line of "Kingswood" holders that Bowers & Merena marketed in 1985, probably they were contracted through Capital Plastics (I'd guess) -- just in time for PCGS and then NGC to come onto the scene.

Good luck Dave. No doubt it will be a fine looking set when completed.
Willy - My Man! What a set.

Finally up to double digits … 10!

Excellent progress @Dave99B ! You've nailed some of the tough ones already!!

Still plugging away. Up to 11, but a long way to go. Happy post-Halloween!
Dave
Picked this up for the toning. Needed coins for the PCGS 4 coin voucher program and submitted. VF35
Nice toning!!! Is that a 23, or 23-S? Or maybe it's a 28? Or maybe I'm going blind?
Dave
Thanks. 1928 S… eBay pic better than what I took
Slow but steady progress...

Keep it up Dave! Glad to see you making progress, and passing when they don't fit.

Collection update:
I haven't given up yet, although things are slowing down. It's hard to locate nice examples, but the search continues!
Three more VF35s have been added to my VF35 stack.
A 1924-D via the good folks at David Lawrence.
A 1917-S Type 2, and 1920-S via eBay sellers.
Anyway, that takes me to 17 coins, with an 18th on the way from DLRC (17-S Type 1).
Dave
