I started compiling this set a couple years ago with the idea that it was just going to be a date set and therefore didn't matter what condition they were in as long as they had a legible date and I could get them cheap... A lot of these are culls (damaged, holed, corroded, etc) So far I haven't paid more than $50 for one of these, and 70% of them have been under $12 (you get discounts for culls) Well as I got further into it I decided that I wanted nicer examples of all of them (and some of the major varieties and overdates) and so I have slowly been phasing out the culls for better grade examples and will continue to do so as time (and funds) allow. Thanks for looking! William
