I keep these in a dish just to paw through occassionaly. I've got slicked out Barbers, Mercs, Seated dimes & half dimes, Morgans & Peace in there too. I can't help buying them when I see them at local shops.

    If coins could talk, those are the ones whose stories I'd most like to hear.

    I have a pretty large type set in a bowl to ramble through occasionally.

    nice group - you even have some with holes and repaired holes ++++

    do you have any rarities in there you paid multiples of melt for?

    I find some days are just too wet for slicks

    There are a few better dates, but no real keys... Over the years I paid a bit over melt but all of that is easily break even or better now. Way back in 07, 8 and 9ish when I first started picking them up I could buy them for melt. The last couple halves I've paid $20ish for

    I can’t help buying slick dateless Columbian halves 🙈

    I occasionally find a slick Seated quarter or half in a local dealer’s 90% silver junk box. I can’t help pulling them out, heavily worn or not.

    Always looking for original, better date VF20-VF35 Barber quarters and halves, and a quality beer.

    I think of that so many times when I see a coin that has seen plenty of commerce.

    Those are nice. I found a 1932-S quarter in F once. I was so excited. LOL Bought it for melt.

    Very cool to own. You can be tactile without worry and I bet you get a profound sense of history when you do, James

    Although the WLH's are not slicks if they need to be a P01 or FR02, but think the WLHs are among the nicest well-circulated coins the Mint made, those & the SLH's. They just wear so well and still look great.
