Nice collection, Jon. Does it ever go on display - such as Central States ?

Dimeman you have a very nice set. I like to set my counter at how many viewers have seen my set not how many views. I want to know how many computers or a closer count of how many people have actually viewed my set. Other wise the same guy could have seen it 40 times. I want to know how many people have seen my set.

Does this mean you had at one time the 1873-CC No Arrows? Or do you mean "Complete" in the "PCGS Set Registry sense". It does have a PCGS serial number (4661), but is not counted in this set definition for some reason?
[Edit to add:] Thanks, keyman64. I see it is PCGS's choice for the way they label this particular set.
Note: the old coinfacts.com site says a "second example" in the VG-VF range appeared in the December 2002 PCGS Pop reports: http://coinfacts.com/dimes/seated_liberty_dimes/1873cc_no%20arrows_dime.htm "A second specimen appeared, without fanfare, in the December 2002 PCGS Population Report in the VG/VF range. The existence of the coin was confirmed by Michael Sherman of PCGS."
But Gerry Fortin said he was owned a mislabelled specimen, and had it reholdered in 2000. He feels it's a glitch in their database, apparently. http://seateddimes.yuku.com/reply/2462/opinions#reply-2462 "Jason....you are correct in that the PCGS pop report lists two 1873-CC NA dimes. The second one was graded VF30. I own that coin!.... Actually...the VF30 coin was another PCGS labeling quality problem that entered their pop database. I bought this "NA 1873-CC" from Brian Greer years ago and loved to display it for the laughs and comments. In 2000, I had PCGS relabel the dime for free, but they never bothered to change their database. ...."
Beautiful set! I put a counter on one of my incomplete complete sets about 5 years ago, just for the heck of it. After 5 years, I have barely crossed the 1200 mark. I am sure a good number of those views were me.
Thanks for all the kind comments. I have been working on the dimes for a very long time. I got the nickname "DIMEMAN" from a group of collector friends of mine who go to a LOT of shows together. When we would head out for a show everyone would ask...what will you be looking for today. I would always answer "dimes".

Unbelievable set! What is it about dimes for you?
Very impressive set!
Jim
your collection is very very impressive!
Nevermind.
The name is LEE!
And No....I don't go out and look at it very often. Not many of the views are mine.

I was wondering about the "Complete" label, too.
