    CoinCorgi Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit!

    My list consists of albums with unfilled holes!

    That's... the least wrong list I've seen in a while.

    I see stuff that shouldn't be on there (all IHCs from 1859 to 1877?), and stuff that maybe shouldn't have been left off (a bunch of Barber dimes and halves in anything better than VG), but it catches most of the good ones and leaves off most of the bad ones.

    My completed series from that list includes Lincoln cents, Buffalo nickels, Jefferson nickels, Barber dimes, Winged Liberty dimes, Roosevelt dimes, Washington quarters, Walking Liberty halves, Franklin halves and Peace dollars. The remainder are 3/4 or better for the rest. Only took me 52 years.

    I question things like the 1893/2 dime being on there. It's a "key variety" but the 1893-dated coin itself is common. There are more RPDs in the series that are just as scarce.

    Not a bad list at all. I’ve sure seen worse.

    Yeah, my view. Any list like this is quibblable,(sp?) but not a bad broad stroke.

    I was thinking about this, for ancients it would have to be a reverse list, list out things NOT rare and assume the other 730,000 types are the rare ones. :)

    Now, that would be useful. Thanks for volunteering! ;)
