1 is WAY better than 2. I don’t like that orange peel look and think those polish lines look pretty good on #1. 1 = 66 5FS. 2 = 65
Buying bulk lots of “junk” dimes and searching through them might be a fun way to do it. It would almost be like doing it through circulation. Buy...

I purchased two large cents yesterday for my type set. They are both very low grade, maybe FR2 or even PO1. The date on the classic head is mostly...
