My main objective is to collect a nice set, but since they have registries, yes, I am filling a set. However, I will never get to lkeigwin's or coppermania's level.
Thanks rlm, We certainly all share a love for this small copper disk and the vast variety it can posses. No two alike! Of coarse Lance's set is the bomb but I suspect he isn't through with it either....especially if he is still hanging out here. Some of my sixteens. 65 BN 66BN
I've been forgetting to mention that many of the pictures I am posting are the outstanding work of Todd at BluCC. His camera work is truly the VERY BEST!
This '15 Philly is another lesson in doing due dilligence when buying coins. The 15 is a tough one to find nice ones in vf/xf, so when i saw this one at the local show I got too excited and didn't take it to a better light and look at it closer. Only when I photoed it did i see the scratch. So i'm still looking.
I agree, incredibly tough to find in the mid-grade condition. It's either poor to VG or gorgeous like Lance's, Robec's, and all the other ones.
