I decided I'd like to have a matched set so you'll see that all the IHCs are the same grade. My dealer didn't have a 1902 and I already had a 1908. The 2-cent coin is an upgrade. Because there are nine coins I'm posting links rather than images. 1900 http://home.comcast.net/~dcderoo/1-1900-Final-txt.jpg 1901 http://home.comcast.net/~dcderoo/1-1901-Final-txt.jpg 1903 http://home.comcast.net/~dcderoo/1-1903-Final-txt.jpg 1904 http://home.comcast.net/~dcderoo/1-1904-Final-txt.jpg 1905 My dealer believes this coin could easily upgrade, but since I want a matched set I'll let it stay as is. http://home.comcast.net/~dcderoo/1-1905-Final-txt.jpg 1906 http://home.comcast.net/~dcderoo/1-1906-Final-txt.jpg 1907 http://home.comcast.net/~dcderoo/1-1907-Final-txt.jpg 1909 http://home.comcast.net/~dcderoo/1-1909-Final-txt.jpg Two Cent http://home.comcast.net/~dcderoo/2-1865-Final-txt.jpg __________________ ANA Member APS Member ARA Member There are 10 types of people: those that understand binary, and those that don't.   11-07-2009, 10:32 PM   #2 (permalink) tmoneyeagles Indian Buffalo Gatherer     Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: San Antonio Posts: 6,305 My Mood: WOW!

And I have many of the keys/semi keys. Will I go for a full set? Right now that's not the plan. __________________ ANA Member APS Member ARA Member There are 10 types of people: those that understand binary, and those that don't.   11-07-2009, 10:42 PM   #6 (permalink) tmoneyeagles Indian Buffalo Gatherer     Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: San Antonio Posts: 6,305 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by kanga I've got the ones posted above plus the 1908.

Very sweet matched set - but the 1909 is the typical weak strike that you see. It might be the picture or the slight wood grain effect but to me it is slightly not the same quality as the rest. BUT I would not kick it out of my collection and I am not knocking it. Just to me the lower hair, feathers and ribbon really stand out in the rest, but on the 1909 it looks weak. Still it is a very sweet run of IHC's. Nice two center also. __________________ the other mark Best Baan Community Empty airtite seeks unwanted coins.

Besides the grade, I believe it's a better strike too. __________________ ANA Member APS Member ARA Member There are 10 types of people: those that understand binary, and those that don't.   11-08-2009, 10:30 PM   #9 (permalink) mark_h Numismatist     Join Date: Jul 2005 Posts: 6,180 Ooohhh that one is sweet.

Nothing I have lists it, so probably one of the first 2 choices, but sure looks like the base and top to the north. Nice set!

Also, are you going to be able to afford a 77 in 65 RB? Nope, no 1877 in MS-65 RB (okay, maybe if I hit the lottery). My 1877 is a XF-45 and that's what I'll stick with. Here's my 1909-S And to give equal time to it's older brother, here's my 1908-S: Quote: Originally Posted by desertgem Is it just the photo, mark on the coin, or is there a repunch of the "1" showing in the date?

I believe it's my lighting that does it. __________________ ANA Member APS Member ARA Member There are 10 types of people: those that understand binary, and those that don't.   11-09-2009, 01:03 PM   #14 (permalink) mark_h Numismatist     Join Date: Jul 2005 Posts: 6,180 Two more nice ones Kanga. __________________ the other mark Best Baan Community Empty airtite seeks unwanted coins.

Love 'em!!! I once owned an 09-S NGC MS-64 BN. Man, I loved that coin! Bought it when the ANA was here in Chicago and sold it right around when I bought my house. ::::sigh:::: memoreis! __________________ Begin somewhere.
