20% of a Philadelphia Mint Civil War Half Dime Subset Complete

Barndog

yeah, just one coin, but it's a start. I will attempt to find four other coins that look as nice as this one. A matched set is important to me. The 1862 should not cause too much trouble, but the 1863, 1864, and 1865 P-mint half dimes that are NICE and mint state and not stratospherically priced will be a challenge.

I have been looking for examples of coins for this Civil War subset for about ten months so far and this is my first purchase toward completing the five coin subset. No rush.
I had initially targeted MS64 as my desired grade, but then I saw this coin in a "lowly MS63" holder and all of a sudden, grade on the label was secondary to me.

Here's the coin I just got:

A very attractive coin, and a nice start on an interesting subset, even if it does mark your entry into 'modern' coins. I will be very interested to see any 1865 half dime that makes the cut into your collection.

I like your coin, I like branching out, I like subsets, and I like Civil War subsets, especially.

Keep us posted.
