https://www.cointalk.com/media/users/william-f.117696/albums All you perfectionists out there don't be too hard on me , I know there is a lot of culls here and some are really ugly... my standards didn't used to be very high lol... 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 any 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
Thanks for looking! Hoping to be able to replace some of the low grade culls with some better examples soon!
It cost just as much to buy one of those replicas as a decent draped bust LC... I can't stand a hole in my collection tho...
(posted in the older thread) Looks great and better yet you are enjoying collecting!! Ps I like the air-tites with the gaskets, I have a few large cents I should put them in rather that be kicking around. What size did you get for them, never saw anything listed for large cents?
I got a box of 100 (31mm) they also came with like 500 foam inserts of different sizes, I just used one of the largest ones and they fit pretty nice, It was like $15 for 100 on ebay, that was a couple years ago, I'm not sure if they're still around for that price but I would imagine somebody's got some
Hi @William F ! Thanks for sharing with us! I love it when collectors share their collections and photos with us! I think you have a very nice collection and we all collect what we can afford and what we love so your collection is a nod to those and should be held in high standard for such! Congrats and thanks again for sharing! Love it!
