Over my childhood, I was a coin enthusiast but didn't have any funds to delve into coin collecting. This fall was the beginning of a steady income and so I've returned to this interest and started with something very general. Some of these coins you may recognize since they were picked up from the BST. Others are from Teletrade or the local B&Ms. The collection so far has been built for 70% of PCGS price guide.
For the time being, I have uploaded the seller's photos but will most likely utilize Todd's photography skills to get quality photos.
Any comments on the coins I've selected so far, mistakes I've made, coins that need to be re-photographed, coins I should upgrade, or anything else are greatly appreciated.
Thanks alot!

Edit: All of the non-photographed coins were from years ago with the exception of the WLH.

most important is to be patient on the coins you purchase
Great type sets take time and patients to complete
nice $5 classic head by the way

It is great you have photos of many of your coins, better to add photos for those that have none than worry about upgrading photos that are already posted. I like the bust half!
Some would say that a coherent and well matched type set built over a long period of time will bring the greatest enjoyment and satisfaction to the owner. I agree that professional photography rounds off the collecting experience nicely and will certainly make it easier when the time comes to sell. Having said that, what are YOUR parameters in terms of grade, look and value? Set some guiding principles in terms of grade and look and try to stick to them as much as possible. And most importantly, take advice from others, but do what is most enjoyable for YOU and will likely be for years to come. Taking the time now to envision what your set will look like and what will bring the most satisfaction will certainly save money and angst down the road later.
