All that's left is a seated Liberty, Type 5 "With Motto" or a type 6 W/arrows & Motto (7070 only includes 1 space for "with motto") I might in the end buy both just so I have all 6 Seated liberty quarters types, but we will see what next month brings Side note: the "no motto" 1857 and 1917 SLQ are presently at NGC and the 1853 W/arrows and rays will be headed in next month hopefully with the T-5/6 with it if I can find one I like and can afford in time you can see most of them here... https://www.ngccoin.com/registry/competitive-sets/363344/
Nice looking set. Making headway with the Seated coinage. That Bust 1/2 Dime is nice. Keep us posted.
Very nice set. Best of luck with completing it. Like you, I'm close to completing my type set. I have found that the closer I get to completion, the harder it is. Unless I win the lottery some coins will never be added, for example, a Gobrecht Dollar or a 1796 Quarter. I was amazed at how difficult it was to find decent Capped Bust Quarters for my set. It took a while to find these two. I need two more quarters to complete the quarters; a really nice Liberty Seated with Motto and a Liberty Seated with Arrows, I have an 1855 with arrows but I want to replace it as it has a fingerprint on it. AU-50,CAC Browning 4 AU-58
I know exactly what your saying... at this point all the empty slots are "pricey" coins even in low grades, I've settled for a few "details" coins on others to get higher quality coins (I prefer a cleaned AU to a solid g-4 any day lol) I've been working on the "slabbed" set for about 3yrs now but I'll admit quite a few of the coins came from my raw album or I would never be this far this fast. As it stands I've found for most of the remaining coins, it cheaper and easier to find a real nice Raw coin I like and send it off for slabbing, and I do mean "cheaper" even after grading costs (often 1/2 the price of buying the coin already slabbed) Of course, there have been a few (ok a lot) that didn't grade as well as I'd have hoped but mostly I've been on the mark with my submissions
Very impressive! Are you going to keep upgrading or will you be done? What’s next? I still need a 1918/7-s for my SLQ set but the goal in general has been changed now to move the set up to AU / MS where possible when the coin budget permits and opportunity arises. I’m also doing a Capped Bust half dollar set - low grade to start just like I did with the SLQs and I’ve got this awful urge to buy proofs sometimes lately - it started with a Seated Liberty Proof Half Dime and then yesterday I inexplicably had to have this 1940 Walking Liberty Proof Half Dollar NGC PF62 (11,279 minted). It's shiny. I like shiny things.
some may get updated/upgraded (hell some already have lol) but I do try to buy the best I can find/afford the 1st time around so i don't have to worry about upgrading later, but you never know what you're gonna fall in love with at the LCS/shows
I only need a 1944s nickel to complete a set(circulated) set. I would buy the one that doesn’t have a hole. That way your still in the chase. Might loose interest when it’s over. Always nice to need the last one. Stay hungry
