    My first set of Halves had that look - maybe a touch lower in grade - but instead of focusing on LIBERTY and how many letters
    the coin had in "Liberty" - I went after a complete E-PLURIBUS-UNUM - as a result I ended up with a very pleasing collection.

    Over the years, I've assembled a few more sets - sometimes buying a complete set just to cherry pick out a few very scarce
    coins - then sell off the lower end duplicates - and if you do that enough times - you become very savy about certain dates.

    You may find one or two surprises along the way... have fun... its a great set of coins without any real show stoppers [ if you
    forget about the Micro O ... at least the Dansco doesn't have a slot for the Micro O. ]

    Not a bad looking dime. It kind of reminds me of the first Barber dime I ever had-- a 1910 that I bought from a neighborhood coin shop way back when :)

    The 1892-S Quarter is extremely scarce in Type 2. I have been looking for this Type 2 in AU 58 for years !!

    Here's my AU 55 ...

    Also, the Isabella Quarter - The Liberty Head Nickel - and the 1883 Hawaiian coins.
    I believe he also designed the OBV of the Pan Pac Half as well.

    I posted this one a while back but since i like it so much i'll post it again. I have been looking to purchase a Au58 half for my type set, but it remains one of the last holes i need to fill. Every time i get into bidding on one i like i get beat by a 1-4 dollars. It has happened three times already.

    She was born in 1993 - so - it was a natural purchase - 1893 - 1993.

    I held out the Dime from my set as well... which I thought her parents wanted to give her...

    Speaking of 1893 - I picked this Half up a few months ago - in an ANACS 58 Holder
