<p>[QUOTE="Silverhouse, post: 3034031, member: 29452"]To a brand new collection. Part of losing is gaining.

I found a used Dansco 7070 for 25.00, I got a 1915 S Barber Quarter. 1895 P Toned details graffiti. Barber quarter, both for 30. I didn't notice the scratch in Liberty's face at the shop, but for the price and condition, I knew something was wrong with it. But that's okay, that coin went into my daughtera 20th century type set. The 7070 is my collection. It will keep me busy for quite sometime. </p><p>I also managed to pick up a 1915 S VG/F Barber half dollar for 35.00. The 7070 came with a 1937 S what looks to be a high AU or low UNC wheat cent. It has high mirrors, but I suspect it's been polished in the past though I can't see any clear signs of cleaning. Maybe some of you could weigh in. Here are some pics for my 70, save the 1895 P Barber. The 1965 Jefferson looks to be an SMS. That also came with the 7070 I purchased. It's one of the better SMS nickels I've seen.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
