    Nice collecting. Looks great! I've filled up a few albums over the years, and I know just how satisfying it feels.

    Better than me! I have never completed a "set" in my life, unless you count Byzantine Anonymous Bronzes as a set. I am glad it gives you pleasure sir, I just never gotten any enjoyment out of completion I guess.

    I do plan on upgrading the v nickel other than that I was trying to do a good circulated set figured a kid would enjoy a circulated set plus with kids you never know if it'll end up as baseball cards haha.

    Plus whenever I upgrade a coin out of my 7070 that is for me the downgrades go in my kids sets. That's why it has an au mercury dime in it as I upgraded to a ms64 for me. I then passed the dime that was in it to my 10 month olds set I just started (21 coins in the new set, 17 to go for him).

    A lot of the coins were pulled from change as I was curious if you could still do that. The silver Washington, the Indian head cent, the wheat cent, the v nickel, the mercury dime before it got replaced, the buffalo nickel, most of the Ike's and the the standing liberty quarter all got pulled from change. All were face value buys :)
