NEWP for the 1917 Set - on last post

MFH · January 13, 2012 7:52AM

So far today, I have posted sets for 1889 - my Granddad, and 1891 - my Grandma's birth year.

Couldn't forget good ol' Dad - he used to love going with me to shows and looking at my collection.

He was born in 1917 ... and here are a few things I have picked up in his honor since Chicago ANA:

I picked this up earlier this year but I just had this one imaged:

Mike, while I haven't checked yet, are you starting these yearly Mint-Sets on the PCGS Registry (I suppose you could run into an issue with the errors!)?

All are very nice coins

keyman64 · January 13, 2012 7:58AM

Mike, I think those first three should be in holders denoting higher grades, even if only a +....those are nice!

Timbuk3 · January 13, 2012 8:17AM

All are beautiful, but I like the 1917s "off center" !!!
Thanks for sharing your photos.

NumisOxide · January 13, 2012 8:19AM

You've picked up a lot of nice additions!

DIMEMAN · January 13, 2012 3:31PM

Great coins Mike.

You could do your birth year, but they weren't making coins yet!

MikeInFL · January 13, 2012 9:19PM

Nice coins, all of them!

Love the 17-d half!

Nice coins and pictures. Thanks for sharing!

Nice, thanks for sharing!

The first three are really nice coins.. the errors are interesting.... I like errors, do not collect them (unless I find one in change). Cheers, RickO

I just stumbled across this new addition to the 1917 Mint set:

as well as these two coins:

My Eagle Eye Scout - Chief Broadstruck found the 17-D for me - and its a much better struck coin than my recent addition.
While I was admiring the 17-D, the 17-S was just listed - and its been a coin that is extremely difficult to locate in nice
condition and without any striking problems.

Love the 1917-D Walker

bob48 · January 25, 2012 4:58AM

ALL are very nice and interesting errors.

crazyhounddog · January 25, 2012 5:18AM

Hey now those are beautiful coins!!

MFH · January 31, 2012 12:55AM

Well, I finally located a 1917-S Cent in RD/BN that looks like a perfect candidate for my Mint Set.

Type2 · January 31, 2012 3:50AM

Nice and cool.

NewParadigm · February 1, 2012 3:06AM

Always a pleasure to look at.

rmpsrpms · February 1, 2012 12:48PM

My favorite by far is the 17P dime...great strike and clean face and fields. Wonderful...Ray

lordmarcovan · February 1, 2012 12:56PM

Wow. So where is the rest of this set, for us to peek at?

PS- I like how you're doing the currency, too. Not knowing a whole lot about it, at first glance I'd have taken it for an older note. I guess in WW1 the paper money still had a bit of that classical Victorian look hanging around.

Fantastic coin. This is high end for the grade with a nice strike. You'd be surprised how many S mint 64s are out there with mushy lettering.

lordmarcovan · February 1, 2012 1:26PM

That Merc is talkin' to me.

The properly-centered one, I mean. The error (hell, everything here) is awesome, but there is something about that '17-P Merc.

I think most of it has to do with the incredible photography. Man, I wish I could do that.

MFH · March 31, 2012 4:49AM

I finally found a decent 1917-S Half OBV MM that would work in this set ...

lasvegasteddy · March 31, 2012 4:57AM

oops...sweet sweet walker as i love those early mintmarked and yours rocks...

this might be an extra lil tasty for your 1917 set too...enjoy...he does have best offer too and its been up awhile...the reverse is kool with those fatty rims
1917-s broadstruck buff...price is right for an au58 <<<<out of collar on one side...not a broadstruck

kaz · March 31, 2012 5:09AM

Beautiful half, Mike!

MFH · March 31, 2012 5:11AM

Thanks, LVT - but our friend Broadstruck had already pointed that one out to me a while ago.

Speaking of which, I noticed that his favorite coin from this date set was missing its image...

here is my 1917-D Dime:

lasvegasteddy · March 31, 2012 5:16AM

ya know...1917 is that date to put a set together in the "P" mint...gets a lil costly with those lil mm's
i love it your doing um
sweet lil d mercury with them fsb
congrats

determined · March 31, 2012 5:20PM

Beautiful 1917-D Walking Liberty and 1917-D Dime!

kaz · March 31, 2012 11:12PM

Love the color and skin on that dime!

MFH · April 28, 2012 4:16AM

This completes my 1917 Date Set for my Dad's birth year.

STONE · April 28, 2012 4:19AM

Congrats Mike

keyman64 · April 28, 2012 4:29AM

Nice job Mike! Congrats!

Walkerguy21D · April 28, 2012 4:33AM

Nice walkers, Mike!

MFH · August 22, 2012 5:11AM

A few months back, I ran accross this coin - on the North Pole [ Alaska ] !! - Seriously !!

It was just about the last coin needed to complete the 1917 Date Set

deltadimeman · August 22, 2012 7:24AM
