    Here are 4 coins I just got.

    This coin is for my "back burner" Early Commemorative set.
    I got it from TT:

    This coin is for my recently started Capped Bust Half Dime die marriage set.
    I haven't ID'ed the variety yet.

    This coin is for my IHC set.
    The set is about half way completed.

    This is the biggie.
    It was #1 on my wantlist and completes my NGC Registry Gold Type Set.

    Someone else noticed that too.
    I've got it fixed now.
    Thanks for the heads-up.

    Oops, not fixed, at least not here.
    It's correct out at my online storage site, but it won't change here.
    I've tried posting both and image and a link, but ...?
    I must be missing something.

    Okay, now there's REALLY something I don't understand.
    I've completely removed the file from my online storage site so it shouldn't be showing at all, not with the right or wrong label.
    Weird.

    I'll check again tomorrow and see if it's cleared.

    Congrats on getting #1 and nice coin!. The rest of them aren't too shabby either. Thing about it is you're never really done getting #1s. As soon as you get it your old #2 is now your #1. So you're still in the same boat.:D Unless you are done collecting.:(

    Yeh, you've got that right.
    My new #1 is a Draped Bust Dime/Heraldic Eagle Reverse, either an 1805 or 1807.
    Probably VF.
    It'll be for my type set.
    It's the last type set coin that I'll be "comfortable" with buying at the VF level.
    After that I'll have to decide whether I'll find coins in Fine acceptable.

    And I fixed the labeling problem with my half dime.
    I just got too impatient and didn't wait for the old error image to clear.

    Love that 1907 High Relief Saint. That coin, to me, is the King of US coins.

    Thanks, all, for the nice remarks.

    As an aside, I live in the Wash, DC, area.
    Since I'm retired and have LOTS of extra time on my hands I applied to be a volunteer helper at the Smithsonian.
    They have now contacted me to determine what I might like to do and set up an interview.
    Someone elsewhere suggested that I might consider working with the National Numismatic Collection!
    I don't think I'm qualified, but wouldn't THAT be something.

    That would be an interesting experience. Maybe you could recommend that coin collectors would like them to improve their display so you could see the coins up close and be able to see both sides.:thumb:
