Just picked these 4 up for $37 they are not in the best condition but not to bad for the price.

Could be the beginning of a set.

I’m curious what your end goal is. In many threads you mention that coins you’ve bought aren’t of great quality but the prices are good. If your goal is to just have more coins, I suppose you’re meeting it. But you’re also spending enough money over time where you could buy some nice examples, you just wouldn’t have as many. It’s quantity versus quality. I’d personally much rather have the latter.

These are for my large cent album only missing like 12 of them now.

Good luck completing your album. Will you then start upgrading the coins?? Cheers, RickO

I suppose for some people... quantity has a quality all its own.

That’s actually well put.

congratz and keep it up. there is a lot to be said about completing whole date runs of coins. i've never even come close. i've bought some already complete but i don't count that. grinding it out, that is how it is done.

I actually only need 10 more for my set. Not going for quantity just trying to put a set together.

Those are the kind of coins you may be able to make money on if you sell them at a flea market. Because they are old people will like them even if serious collectors don't.

I’m putting a custom set together from 1794-1857. The ones that are a little bit to expensive for me are the 1793, 1799, and the 1804 but still a great set to put together.
