WTB: Great coins for my Type Set

Updated April 2, 2013

With all the talk about eBay fees, counterfeits, cleaned coins, and on and on, it's getting to the point that I'd rather purchase coins from people I "know" here on the boards (well, at least I'm familiar with most of your names). I haven't done business with the vast majority here, but I maintain a reserved faith and trust in people who band together for a common goal - education. And I've learned a lot.

What I haven 't learned well is how to control my anxiety when I bid a coin on eBay, confident, but in truth, not really knowing if I'm getting a good value. So here I am, on the BST, with a short list of coins I'm interested in. Items in Bold higher up on my list!

Thanks to all who responded so far, and especially to those from whom I've picked up some fabulous coins!

I've removed the coins from this list which I've acquired since my original post, so below are those I still seek.

Half Cent: 1849-1857

Large Cents: 1796-1807; 1808-1814; 1840-1857 (seeking AU-58 - MS+)

Half-Dime: 1829-1837; 1838-1859 (Stars) & 1860-73 (Legend)

Dime: Liberty Seated (Stars 1838-1860), & (Arrows 1853-1855)

Quarter: Liberty Seated w/Arrows 1853-55); Capped Bust (Small size, 1831-1838)

Halves: Liberty Seated Reeded Edge 1836-1839; 1866-1891 (Motto)

Gold: image

$1 Type 2

$1/4 Eagle Indian Head 1854-89

$20 Liberty & St. Gaudens

Hmmm... turns out, it wasn't so short after all...

Shooting for MS+ coins, but MAY have to settle for high AU's. Grade-worthy is the goal, but raw preferred.

    I've got a trade dollar for sale on the BST.

    T$1 1874-CC PCGS Genuine (no.92-Cleaned) definitely Unc with light hairlines noticeable when coin is tilted.............$850.00

    It's an Unc coin, rare date at a reasonable price.

    Let me know if you are interested and need pictures.

    So, you're looking for a nice DB and Classic Head cent in AU? You probably realize that the value of just those two coins likely outstrips the entire rest of the set combined?
