<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 25766360, member: 13650"]From someone who has been building a US type set for the past 16 years I will say there are some issues that are particularly annoying trying to acquire something halfway decent. The early no drapery stuff can be challenging. I really don't like to "pack it in" and just get a low grade version to fill a slot but I did it with my 1838 dime and the classic head cent spot. I like what I got but not specatcular. The classic head one cent has become elusive and extremely expensive for anything decent. I've looked at them for 10 years. Not much product available and most are damaged or cleaned. </p><p> I've settled for details versions of the arrows dated dimes so far as well. Took a chance grading both and both came back details but I still like them and haven't uprgraded. </p><p> I've also accepted that there's probably 10 spots in my registry set that will never get filled unless I win the lottery. It's ok. I don't feel the need to appologize for not having a 1792 half disme. But its there should i happen to stumble upon one metal dectecting. I may never having a flowing hair silver dollar but I'll put the 2024 version in to represent it. Even though it's not actually in the registry.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
