Took awhile to get a decent example of the cent, but finally got it. The PCGS grades are as follows:

Cent - AU-55
Dime - XF-40
Quarter - AU-50
Half - XF-45
Dollar - XF-40

10-4,

    beautiful little set. For me, the dime was the toughest to find nice in circulated condition.

    Very nice, good job! The half looks better than EF45 from the picture.

    Very nice... My 1st attempt at a Hawian type set was a flop... I landed a counterfit dollar... I kept it as a reminder to do my homework 1st before jumping on a "great deal" :disappointed:

    Nicely done Elmer. Nice even flow which is tough. I'd be proud of it were it mine.

    Yes, fakes abound. There are a ton of fake dimes with the CircCam look on eBay from Russian (!) sellers.

    Very nice, matching set. Thanks for sharing.

  • DNADaveDNADave Posts: 7,299 ✭✭✭✭✭

    That’s a great set and I’d say not many forumites have put it together.

    Does anyone else have a start?

    Beautiful set, and evenly matched. Congrats!

    Great set Erik! Fairly well matched, attractive examples. I really like the look of the Half

    Congrats on putting together a nice looking set. I have always liked the look of these coins. I have a Hawaii dime that I got from my grandfather's box of miscellaneous coins.
