    Yeah, I voted for the dime b/c I have dimes and I have a 1916 S. Plus it's just the one I appreciate most of your choices. have a good pick

    I am kind of prejudice for the Lincolns, but which one? Either one would be very welcome in my collection, but I think I would take the 55/55 jut because it is closer to the top condition.

    I love Barber Halves, thats what I'm working on now. Its a really hard set. No mintages are higher than like 5 million with over a dozen with mintages under 300,000.

    Since they are all key dates, I would buy the one that is in the highest condition thet you can afford. So far it appears to be the 55. Go for it.

    :D Who said "I" could afford it?...I thought YOU were going to pay for it :D :D
    I'm kindof in-between jobs right now so a coin shouldn't be top on my list, but it is!!! You could call it a sign-on bonus that I'm giving myself before I sign-on! LOL!

    I'm in between jobs also (retired from one career looking for another) and still buying coins.... one shouldn't purchase outside their means. I cant envision buying you a 55/55 DD unless I win the lottery, however if you give me a good reference for my next job I'd send you some of my coins that I have upgraded. LOL.

    Thanks :D I'm sure you will find something! It isn't as easy when your my age and your past work has been self-employed. They just look at you as if to say...yeah right, you just were a bum! LOL!

    well I decided to let most of them pass - I still have a chance on the 22 no D on Monday, but I haven't decided as it seems alittle high.
    The coins I posted above started out at around what I was willing to pay with BP - I tried to go to Heritage and get a good ball-park number on what I should bid, so I think I did good letting them pass.

    I do have a high bid on 2 coins that end today, and if I win one or both, I'll post pic's - one would upgrade a coin in my PF66 Franklin Set.

    Speedy I cast my vote for the 55/55 or hte 22 no "D".
    You could find a F12 for 700$ if you wait around long enough.
