I've been working on this for quite a while.
I've got a ways to go, but having fun making slow progress.
I took advantage of the quarterly special and updated several with Trueviews.

I don't think so, but now you have!
Now that's a cool idea. A very narrow niche, to be sure, but I like it. Bravo.
Well now we know where all the 78-CC dimes have gone!
Fantastic set. Must have taken a a lot of work and time. Thanks for sharing them.

75,6 and 7 would have been too easy.
Intriguing reverse shattered die characteristics on some.
Note the lower area around the wreath and MM on the 61 and 64.
It's a well documented shattered die, but very interesting.

Thanks for the explanation. This looks like a worthy challenge.
Thought you might want to take a look.

I personally know how hard it is to find ANY 78-CC dime, let alone try for a grading set. The 61 is my favorite as well.
This is such a cool year for the dime, with the various stages of the shattered die, the two types of reverses and the doubling on ONE DIME. The two reverse types are actually pretty easy to distinguish from each other. I have a dream to someday have an example of each of the 4 main types/dies of this year for my type set, but I'll surely have to be patient if I ever hope to achieve that. You obviously have some of that patience to even get this far with your grading set. Well done.

<< <i>Yes, Buy It Now. I don't think these are readily available in this grade for $159. There are zero of them for sale in any grade on eBay right now, and a specialist dealer wants $425 for a VF. That should say something about its availability near price guide levels. I'm pretty sure I didn't get ripped off. >>
Re-read my statement, or maybe I wasn't clear but I totally agree with you. These 78-CC dimes are super hard to find (no thanks to CarsonCityGold!) and the price guides don't reflect this. You did very well and were smart to pull the trigger on this buy it now.
Actually, I did own 10 different ones over the years...

<< <i>Based on those TrueViews, I like the 61 better than 64....a lot better. >>
So do I ! In hand it's the same - just a much more eye appealing coin.
It was in an NGC 62 holder and I cracked it out before sending it in thinking it would 63 without the holder stigma.
Guess I was wrong. I'll try a regrade later.
