Thanks to all who helped along the way, especially with my coin budget! My next goal is to get the average grade up to 65.

Hi,
Nice type set! Congrats!

Have you thought of writing something for "Owners Comments"? It would be neat to add what you have to say about the set - your set goals or particular coins you like, or had trouble finding. I like to read that stuff - makes the set come alive a bit - especially if there are no pics. Really cool accomplishment so I'd want to read more about it!

Yes, I agree with the others.
Your set is very, very nice.
Well done. Bravo Zulu.

thanks for the comments. i will certainly add pics and comments once i get a decent camera and learn how to use it. the toughest to find were the full head slq's. even though the type1 is 64fh(was ngc 64fh from a board member) and type 2 is 63fh(from tonelover), i also wanted full shield, full rivets, full fold of skirt on right leg...in other words, as full a strike as possible. it certainly shows what you can do when you set a goal for your set or collection and stick to it. many board members were kind enough to give me time to pay off a coin that would fit into my set. bravo zulu to these boards!

Congrats on your accomplishment!

Congrats!

<i also wanted full shield, full rivets, full fold of skirt on right leg>

I was willing to give up an earhole for those other aspects of a full strike. One can get a better struck coin than FH for less money!

Hi again,

you can squeak by with a good scanner (Epson Perfection 2450 here), a few 35mm slide mounts for tilting the slabs and a black t-shirt

Best,
Billy
