Beautiful set!! I'm a US collector, but I inadvertantly got started with Canadian large cents and can't stop! My set doesn't look nearly as nice...
At some point I hope the price of gold tanks...so the FS coin mintages max out and the ones I bought this year and last go up, Up, UP! Either...
drat!
I'll bump it up another...
Agree...nice coin!
It's not just the postion of the mint mark, but the shape of the mint mark itself. As I recall, the 1916-d used the same punch as was used for the...
Good choice! :thumb: Attempting to look past the inconsistent photos...I think you picked the best one of the bunch (imho). Like you, I'm...

Welcome to CT, Matt! The best I can offer is an opinion...which I'm sure will provoke plenty of dissenting opinions. I'm an "album" guy, too. I...

Since your picture titles say AU55...that's MY guess! :D
It would have to be my Unc 1916d. I saved my paper route money for a year to buy it in 1973 ($800). I have an Unc Fugio cent ("states united"...
