Last semi-key needed for my set. I have 3 more until I consider the set finished, so hopefully in the next couple of months I'll be looking for my new adventure. Thanks for looking!
1909 P with and without VDB 1912 P I am looking for them all in MS. From what I am seeing on Ebay, I do not anticipate the 09s being an issue. The 12 P seem to go from gem to VF with little in between. I do not have the '09 S VDB, but with prices as they are it will have to remain a dream coin like the '16 D dime. I am already starting to contemplate the next series. I am feeling like tackling Morgans or Barber Dimes...just reading up on both series before I make the final decision.
Handsome coin. I wish more of us here would get back to learning how to collect coins instead of searching for meaningless errors on coins in the hopes they "hit it bigtime" one day. That's not to knock error and variety collecting, a subset of the hobby. It's to knock the ones who come on here just about every day seeking their fortune in some aberration they just discovered on some coin and yet don't know the first thing about what constitutes an error or variety or for that matter bother to take the time to learn it after we advise them as such and even furnish them with the requisite links. It's a pathology, I believe. It's a contagious one, too.
WOW! nice set for all MS! I'm down to needing three but I've only got MS down to the 30's and then its sporadic from there. Congratulations. Would love to see photos of the pages if you've got them in a book. Thats quite an accomplishment.
It’s appreciation across the spectrum of our hobby. For whatever the definition we create for ourselves. I do chuckle a bit with those that engage in speculation on the values of common variety coins. I have hundreds myself, but the most valuable one is maybe worth $250. Almost all I have are CRH or Pocket Change finds. Total value? For my cluster - maybe a few hundred dollars. But I’ve had a good time piecing it together and learning about varieties and errors. The fun is in the journey and once those that lust for striking it rich realize this, they’ll probably enjoy the hobby more.
I think you may have misread my post or I wrote it wrong. I am looking for the last three coins in MS. My entire set is not MS, a good deal, yes, but those like this '12 S among others are far from it!
