My Completed 1943 Mint Set

Hi all. Just thought I'd share my completed 1943 Mint Set. I chose 1943 as my first set since both my parents were born that year, and because I thought it's an interesting year anyway with the wartime compositions of the cent and 5c, Mercury and Walkers still in production, with three mints in production.
I put it in the registry set, link below. I'm still waiting for the old owner of the S quarter to remove it from their inventory so I can add it to mine. Maybe that will move me up from 25th to 23rd.

I know it's not nearly as impressive as some of the high-dollar collectors and set owners here. I'm more of a lower budget guy so I am very happy and thrilled to have completed a set like this. Keeps me excited about collecting. Thanks for looking.

Good job! 1943 is a good year for a set with lots of variety.

Great set. Thank you for sharing.
Great set, but I don't see the 1943 Copper Cents.
Congratulations on a wonderful set

Nice group. You did well.
@Allentram I like it a lot, especially the D nickel with the old series/coin label.
The whole set is good looking to me. Thanks for the post.

Don't sell yourself short. It's a great set! And you've got a great approach.
P.S. - not all of us here are "high dollar collectors".
Beautiful set congrats on completing it!
I did the same thing for 1940 which is my mothers birth year.

Great set and congrats on completing. But, why 1943? Birth year, etc?
Superb effort. Well matched, lots of care, and a special set!

Thanks. Most of this was put together last year. I could have put this together really quick but held out for good value and good quality. Glad I did.
Oh, I'm sure the wife would understand if I cashed out my 401K for them.
Nice job on the set. Congrata.
Yes, I noticed that about the D nickel. I bought it off ebay and was surprised to see it with all 6 FS.
Birth year of both of my parents. I also liked the year because of wartime compositions, affordability and all 3 mints in production.
I like it!!
Very nice looking set. I would be quite pleased at this accomplishment.
Nice set
That's pretty cool. Nice job.

Very nice!
That’s a very nice set. I like your continuity in chosen grades, makes for a great set when viewed all together.
Very cool
Congrats

Right on
Looks like a fun set
Not a thing wrong with that set! Does the 43 Merc have toning or is it just the light? And the "D" Walker?
Great set for such an important year in US history!

That is one special set! Very interesting!

Yes, the 43P Merc does have light toning, really nice and subtle. The D Walker does too, grey, blue and black around the rim. I may upgrade that someday to a fully white MS66, but I still find it pleasing.
Congratulations on completing a terrific looking set. The coins look very well matched.
A job well done.
