Odd collecting habits? My numismatic purchases are much like the way I saw girls when I was fifteen. They are all beautiful and I want them all.

 

I often thought about collecting a Native American type set, but haven't had the gull to do it yet.

 

I completed a set of "arrows at date" Seated Liberty coins.
They were struck in 1853 through 1855 AND in 1873 and 1874.
The arrows indicated that the 1853-1855 coins were reduced in weight (less weight, therefore less silver).
The arrows indicated that the 1873-1874 coins were increased in weight (more weight, therefore more silver).

Half Dimes -- 1853-1855 (6 different dates/mm) - 1873-1874 (0 coins)
Dimes ------- 1853-1855 (5 different dates/mm) - 1873-1874 (6 different dates/mm)
Quarters -----1853-1855 (9 different dates/mm) - 1873-1874 (5 different dates/mm)
Half Dollars - 1853-1855 (7 different dates/mm) - 1873-1874 (6 different dates/mm)
Dollars ------ No "arrows at date" struck

There were also error varieties struck for the dimes, quarters and half dollars.
