    You forgot the Chain and Wreath cents. On purpose?

    Yeah I did, because of the expense. I was wondering if a decent coin in a problem holder may be a good plan B though.

    Looks like a good set. I don't know why the modified matron head (wavy hiar under the band) isn't it's own type. I'm still looking for a high grade full details one for my set.

    It's a good start. I think you can eliminate the 1793 Liberty Cap cent, since a VG will run you about $10G. I assume you'll wind up with a 1794.
    I might also suggest adding the '39 petite head to your set of 39's - a popular coin, and I notice you do not have a petite head type listed among your braided hair coinage.
    Good luck with your search!
