Nice. I don't think mine would grade much better.

I'm about an hour west of Houston. I get there a few times a year. I do drive to Katy twice a week to play golf. Happy hunting.
@kountryken That is a very nice 1881 S. It looks MS to me.
@dwhiz That is a beautiful set. I like the eye appeal of coins that had to work for a living.
Two of my favorites: 1889 CC 1928 P [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

I finished this batch of rolls. I found: 39 S, 40 P (2), 41 P, 43 D, 48 P, 48 S 51 D, 52 D, 54 S, 54 D, 55 D, 57 D Good day of hunting.
