Including the various types and options too.
Started the set in high school...and went from there!
The last piece from last night was a nice bright 1950 PR66/CAC...for $700.
Post something from the Truman administration!

Congrats! I’m very close to finishing my Whitman album of business strike Franklins. Do you have any pics? Any cameo/deep cameo proofs?
Cell phone pictures...
Congratulations on a fine achievement!
Congrats!
What’s next?
BHNC #248 … 140 and counting.
Damn, nice
All straight PR66...never started on cameos. Wanted them all to match...so all straight PR66.
88% completed on Morgan Unc/PL set...so that odyssey continues!
Congratulations!
You sir, are a true collector.

Governments can print currency. Only the people can print faith in it — and they’re running low on ink.
4 or 5 away from completing my ms65 set. Can't afford 66's
Wow congrats!
My priority is my Roosevelt ms67 fb set. 9 more to go. Unfortunately they're the high dollar ones.
Congrats on a great achievement Rich.
Just over one year after President Truman took office following the death of President Roosevelt, the Philippines were granted independence on July 4, 1946.
In 1947, the United States Mint at San Francisco struck silver 50 centavos and Pesos both commemorating General MacArthur. Here are TrueViews of my two examples --
Cheers,

Congratulations!
Re Douglas MacArthur above...an aside...my uncle server on Gen. Omar Bradley's personal staff and also worked for him after the war in the private sector (very nice honorable man)...Bradley said the other 5 Stars ALL HATED MacArthur...with a passion!!! Meanwhile, my uncle was a marine...so it was unusual for him to like Army brass.
Felicidades!!
Very inspirational.
Thanks for sharing!
Edit to fix punctuation.
The three classic commems issued during the Truman administration:
Commems and Early Type
Wunderbar!
Do you have an plans for what comes next? Start another series, or a type set, perhaps?

@RichR....Congratulations....That is an admirable accomplishment. I put together an album of Franklins years ago...not high grade such as yours... I should dig that out, I like the Franklin half, although I was upset to see the WLH go away...Cheers, RickO
congratulations !!!
