Nice, you're way ahead of me, I'd have to count but I think I'm about halfway.

 

That's coin collecting. Keep after it. Show yours sometime.

 

I assembled a set once and got bored with it and sold them. Now I wish I had them back so may have to start another.

 

Nice collection!

I'm 6 coins away from completing a year set of Barber Halfs. Didn't think it was reasonable to finish a year+mint set. All in circam condition.

I picked up 13 of the years at todays coin show, btw.

 

Looking good, Keep it up. Here is a Capital set I put together years ago. I is part of my Capital set holder collection. Put this together before grading companies existed.

 

@Hambone1946 who needs TPG's? Your set is perfect. Great eye appeal.

 

I am in the middle of working on a set, some day it will be finished. I have them in an old Coin and Currency folder, except for a few third party graded ones. Don't have a way of taking photos of them, here's one that I have in a TPG holder.

 

I did something similar with Indian Cents when I was in high school. I eventually completed the set, but lost interest in it in the 1970s. I wish I had it today.

 

My IHC's are still in the folder I had as a child. It is covered with tape to keep it from falling apart.

 

I really like the ungraded sets. Just something about the Dansco albums and the capital holder sets that are appealing.

 

that’s a nice set of IHCs. I am working on a set but still have a ways to go. Still a dozen short.

 

My Barber collection is still evolving. Includes this folder and a tube of halves that don’t have a home yet.

 

Going to coin show today so maybe I can expand on this collection.

 

Very nice @Inspector43. I just finished my Barber Dimes collection.

 

Everyone's collection is nice. Below is mine

 

Hello all,

I usually post on the PCGS forums. But since you all are Barber afficianados like myself, I wanted to share. I put together a set a VF-AU Barber halves beginning 2001 and ending about 2008-09 when I found my last Barber Half for the set - an 1895-S in VF30.

First barber half - 1909 VF30. First full year completed: 1905, 1905-S, 1905-O. Last coin for set: 1895-S.

Favorite coin: 1913-D in AU that I essentially bought for free when I bought a group lot on Ebay and it had this gorgeous gold toned luster.

There are also some nice duplicates. I had all coins graded by PCGS and sold them to Glen Holsonbake - Americana Rare coins in 2011. Wish I could roll back time and undo that sale, but too late.

 

Nice achievement!! I feel in love with this design when I detected a 1892S Quarter. No halves, yet that is.
