Message:: [QUOTE="Murphy45p, post: 3597633, member: 96005"]I have a few of the old coppers as place holders at the moment.  They can be expensive for sure and hard to find at the grade I want.  I'll probably upgrade those at the next coin show, we have a big one here in January. For the SLQ, I wanted to make sure that both examples had details to show the differences, the stars below eagle are easy, but I wanted the exposed breast and some shield detail on the type one and I wanted to be able to see the chainmail up to the neck on the type II.  I got the type one a few months back in an AU holder for $150 (1917 of course). My remaining coins to acquire are all at the very top of my monthly budget, so it will take me a little longer.  Another thing I did with my set was to feature a complete set of mintmarks.  Two CC's, two D's, two O's, two P's, two S's and I put the 96 Roosevelt in so I'd have a W as well.  Just a side thing I did.[/QUOTE]
