I spent some time in the world of Currency but recently decided to return to my first love: Coins
Don't know why...but I'm not coordinated enough to do two hobbies at the same time...LOL...
I really like the Liberty Head No Motto $5...my two new pickups reflect the first and last dates (for me) of that series...

Would love to see better photos of both obverse/reverse.
I've always preferred the small letter no motto's and starting out with a first year issue is really groovy

Thanks for looking...personally I think the high quality photos can be a bit mis-leading...by example...I think the 1861 looks better in hand than the professional photos...but also when in hand...the black stuff that is stuck to the hair behind the ear is more apparent...
msch1man -- I have no plans to complete the series...I did that with Peace Dollars back in my youth...and more recently with $500 bills all in MS grades...I'm toying with the idea of getting a better grade example from each mint from some of the key/popular dates...I'd rather have a couple of nice ones that I can look at every day...than a big box of slabs in the SD box...that I look at once a year...LOL...maybe the 1861-C, 1838-D...the likely suspects...
Looking for Top Pop Mercury Dime Varieties & High Grade Mercury Dime Toners.
I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
Great hobby. Nice choices. I like 'em all.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Lovely and you received the difficult CAC on gold coins.
Anyhow if you don't mind the dark spot, the the rest of the coin is very nice
You are a better man than me. That singular dark spot in the middle of the coin would annoy me. I had an 1875-CC 20C that was just like your 1861...a beautiful PL coin in a PC61 holder with CAC sticker. But eventually the single dark spot in the center of an otherwise beautiful coin got to me and so I sold it. No regrets as a better one came along at a better price point
Anyhow if you don't mind the dark spot, the the rest of the coin is very nice
I can appreciate this post as a fellow collector/dealer/board member/cherrypicking geek.
The more I strive, the more critical I become. The perfectionist in me, perhaps.
Thanks for sharing!
