My 1818 year set is half way there with the addition of the bust quarter...

Actually, really more than half way because the two most difficult coins are out of the way.

I have come a long way from the first 1818 coin I ever owned. I purchased this obviously recolored large cent at my first coin show for $10 in 1976. At the time, it was the most expensive coin I ever purchased. In 2004, I sold it on the BST to a YN for $5.

That is a sweet quarter RYK
Bet she really pops in hand.

Very nice quarter. It's just not right that some folk's "side" collection coins are light years nicer than my own core collection's coins.

Wowsers! That quarter is gorgeous!

Nice quarter, and I have always admired that coin date being the year that Mary Todd Lincoln was born.

Nice quarter! I saw it on DLRC but it was more than I wanted to spend.

The seller was TomB, and it is worth every penny.

Nice coin RYK, Looks XF 40 maybe 45 I might even give it a green bean if your into that sort of thing.

The CB quarter is really nice so I am happy that it will have good company. What is also remarkable is that you still have images of the cent!

Looks nice and original.

The images of the 1818 cent are in my CU forum image attachment file. I used this extensively until I started using Picasa (and later mobile me) for hosting images. Feel free to use the image as you see fit.

That quarter needs to immediately go rescue that "post your most original pre-1920 coin" thread.

Nah, I don't want any of my coins associated with that thread.
