    I was thinking of pulling the trigger on a 1916 Barber. Does this help?

    As soon as I get a couple more war nickels I'll be entering them into a registy and then a Mercury set in 'rattler' holders will hopefully follow. That's about as classic as I can afford.

    Here is a new classic for my set, a 1795 Small Head Half Dollar. They are a rare sub-variety believed to be engraved be John Smith Gardner, as Robert Scot engraved the majority of 1795 Half Dollar working dies. My coin belongs to die pairing O.128, which no more than 25 examples can be traced in all grades and conditions, only two are in VF. For the Small Head variety that PCGS recognizes, this VG10 is a pop 10/10.

    Cool!

    Indeed I have been blabbing about buying modern sets but I have also been buying 18th and 19th century classics.

    Here is my latest purchase;

    A counterfeit British halfpenny dated 1776. Counterfeited by our early American forefathers at the the famous Machin's Mills location in what is now known as Orange Lake in Newburgh, NY. These are not that easy to find looking this pleasant to look at. Remember, the original die was made to look very worn to hide the fact that they were counterfeits! These were actually minted circa 1788-1789. The reason for the need for these coins is that we did not yet have a federal coinage system and we needed more coins!

    I will be loading the picture up soon.
