<p>[QUOTE=&quot;geekpryde, post: 26589464, member: 36248&quot;]Here are coins purchased for inclusion in my main coin collection focus, my Type Set.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I collect and expanded 7070 Type set, which I joking refer to as an 8080 Type Set.&nbsp;&nbsp; This collection is my primary goal in the hobby, so it&#039;s the most important for me to be patient and selective for inclusions.&nbsp; &nbsp; I have the double challenge of also obtaining only &quot;affordable&quot; coins.&nbsp;&nbsp; Of course, that is entirely subjective term, but for me it means I stay in the &lt;$500 price tag range.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve said that all before, so without further yammering:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>A &quot;colonial&quot; coin (really a post colonial coin).&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; I chose a Massachusetts coin becuase Maine was still a part of Mass during the colonial period.&nbsp;&nbsp; It made perfect sense to me to keep with my sub-theme of Maine types whenever possible within a certain spot in the set.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1694210[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1694211[/ATTACH]</p><p>I am sort of bothered by the rim bump at 1:00, so I am not sure this will stay long term.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; I am still unfortunately making the mistake of sometimes missing the trees for the forest.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; If the overall look of the coin is pleasing to me, I sometimes miss a little detail that later bothers me.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I set a goal of finally getting a CAC approved Classic head cent.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Unfortunately, the first coin I bought (which I still like), failed to sticker.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; This will be be second attempt.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Low numeric grade classic head cents seem to be a particular hard slot to get CAC approved.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Seller photos below, as I dont have proper photos yet.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1694214[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1694213[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is a downgrade/upgrade coin for the HALF DIME - SEATED LIBERTY, TYPE 2, NO DRAPERY spot.&nbsp;&nbsp; I had a coin I liked better in some ways, but that failed CAC, and I think I ultimately agree with their assessment.&nbsp;&nbsp; This coin below is CAC approved and has a nice even pleasing wear.&nbsp;&nbsp; Sorry for lack of good photos to really show this coin in the proper lighting.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1694217[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1694216[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Toned Jefferson, TYPE 1, ORIGINAL DESIGN with DESIGNER INITIALS.&nbsp; I decide to break Type 1 into &quot;without&quot; and &quot;with&quot; designer initials, but I can completely understand if other Type collectors consolidate these types.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1694218[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1694219[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Clad Roosevelt dime.&nbsp; I wanted a toned example.&nbsp; I like this coin, but not sure I love it.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1694220[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>LOVE LOVE LOVE this coin.&nbsp; &nbsp; Has the perfect &quot;look&quot; to me.&nbsp;&nbsp; If I could have all my coins with skin like this, I would be very happy indeed.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1694221[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
