A little over a year ago I decided to build a 1876 centennial mint set. I will always be missing the cc 20c. but I decided to do it anyway. I am still looking for a cc half but the set is coming along nicely. What do you guys and gals think of the set so far?

Great set. I really love these old sets. I am not sure why you be required for the 1973CC 20c. This coin is not required in a complete PCGS date and mint set. Go figure. If you get the 50ity, I would call it complete.

Cool! That missing double dime would always nag at me though!
Great dedication.

I thought about this year too, but stopped before I got started. Great looking coins so far!
Great Set awesome coins
I'm a big fan of early mint sets, and your 1876 is just great! I noticed that you're still #1 when gold is added - even though you haven't added any gold yet. I just looked at the price guide, and realize that some of the 1876 gold coins are nearly as difficult as the CC 20c.
Thanks for the comments! I plan to upgrade the set when possible. I am only doing the silver and copper. The gold is way out of my range. If anyone knows of a 50 Cent cc available I am definitely interested.
@ironmanl63....Congratulations on a very impressive set of coins.... Really nice... Must have taken a good many years and dedicated searching. Cheers, RickO
Very nice set!
Wow
Great eye and terrific accomplishment

Nice set.
@DIMEMAN Would you happen to know what variety the s 10 cent is? The s looks to be doubled.
Your Philly double dime is very nice! And so is the rest of your set.

I don't see any doubling on the date or the mm.
@DIMEMAN O.K. Thanks.
