It's nice to see the Liberty Seated half dimes getting some love on this forum lately. I haven't posted my set in a while, so here goes. Upgrades since my last post include an 1839-P in pretty toned PCGS AU58, an 1842-O in beautifully toned PCGS VF35 (seems undergraded), an 1853-O WA in PCGS AU58, an 1859-O in pretty toned PCGS AU55, an 1866-S in boldy colored PCGS AU58, and an 1868 in toned PCGS AU58.
A lot of these coins need new thumbnail photos to be taken for this montage. My old camera turned some colorful Gem BU coins into lifeless bricks. I did replace the 1850-P photo, but there is still a lot of work to be done here. For example, the 1864-P is PCGS MS66 and is a headlight with rainbow rim toning, but you'd just never know it from my crappy photo effort. It's just unbelievable how much time it takes to perfect each and every photo in a set like this, though. I've been meaning to image all my quarters 1796-1891 in the same fashion since 2008, but it just never gets done.

A superb set, indeed! You might consider sending it to Mark Goodman for professional photography.
No need to crack and reholder that way.
<< <i>great set ! how long to complete ? >>
About 3 hours.
I bought a complete set in 2005 that was sitting in an old, brown National Coin Album since some time before 1960. Probably took about 3 hours to go through the coins & grade 'em. Upgrading the coins to the present state has taken 9 years, though!
Very nice set! I'm still missing a few.
Are you still looking to add more major varieties, like the 1839-O large O, 1840-o transitional, 1843 double date, 1845 double date?
That is a very impressive set. Congratulations.
