I had planned just a type set of these, but someone must have dumped a former registry set and I just could not help myself and I ended up with several. Here are a few of my favorites!

    Those all look nice! I was following along on those auctions as well. Congratulations on the newps!

    I really like these, especially when they tone.

    And boy, can @PhilArnold take a great photo!

    Nice pickups!

    I was the underbidder on that 1920. Glad to see it’s headed to a great home with some very attractive siblings!

    Great 1F pieces. These are .835 silver, correct? From the dates, are you building a decade set or maybe a Third Republic set (1898-1920)?

    Those were mine - congrats on the wins! I still have some raw ones I might have graded at some point and ship off to them.
    I still have the 1916 50c in my avatar pic and several raw ones is all.

    MS66 taste on an MS63 budget.

    Wonderful! Please tell the postal delivery guys to watch out for my 3-legged chihuahua because he bites.
