    I have completed my Lincoln set.

    The last two for me were the two that are usually last for everyone. I posted the 1914-D back in post #26565.

    But I am way more excited about finally having this coin. The 1909-S VDB has been little more than a legend for the last 57 years or so since I started roll hunting Lincolns. Now it's real.

    These photos are just a placeholder for now. I will come back and replace them once I crack it out. It's in an NGC holder as MS63 BN. (Edit: They have been updated now.)

    Yep, I'm that crazy - to throw away the certification of a coin that is often counterfeited. The holder is badly scuffed and I'm not going to splurge on this without being able to see it clearly. So when I can see it without the plastic I'll let CoinTalk see it too.

    Update: In the holder

    Full resolution photos. Expand and enjoy all blue, purple, and red that make up a “brown” coin.

    I picked up this 1820 large cent the other day. It says MS 65 RED but, in my opinion it's really a RB coin. 1820 Large Cent Obv MS 65 RB.jpg 1820 Large Cent Rev MS 65 RB.jpg

    In full agreement. If you bought it for rb money you did good. It’s a beauty no doubt. I wonder if it turned in the slab

    I just picked up this 1796 NC-4 with a counterstamp, though countermark might be technically correct since it is engraved. It is my third.

    One more in my set of mostly MS-66 RD Lincoln Cents from 1933-1942. I still need the 1934-D and 1942-S. My 1933-P is an MS-65 and the 1942-D is an MS-67.

    After I finished my Peace Dollar set, I started working on a set of Jefferson War Nickels. These are the ones I have, so far: JeffersonNickels.jpg
    And this is my new set up for pictures. Hopefully my images will improve. PhotoRig.jpg

    You do know that just about every war nickel is a variety? And some pretty big ones..varietyvista.com will be a big help to ID them......the 1943 P has like 70 different varieties.,since youe set is in nice grades a nice variety find could add more meat on the bone.Nice set of Jeffersons and a nice camera set up.

    Thank you. I did not know that. I will probably limit myself to one from each date and mint, but you've given me more to think about. I may be able to improve the quality of the set by picking the best of the varieties (within my budget, of course).
