I think I’m done collecting…..

Wow! Very nice Type Set, indeed! I especially like the 1909 IHC (is that really BN, or actually RB?), the 1942-D Merc (beautiful toning!), and the 1884-O Morgan (LOVE, LOVE those colors and the bag toning!!!). I would love to have that Morgan!!!

Thanks. I got that 09 IHC back around 2011, purchased raw off ebay. I used I think $70 in ebay bucks (when they actually gave them out) and so it cost me $12 out of pocket on that one. That's one I submitted to NGC myself with several other raw ones and they did indeed give it a MS65 BN designation. I liked it for the blue toning. My 09-VDB has a cool blue toning to it too. Now the 2 cent, I nabbed that off the bay way back when as well and it was raw too. Surprisingly cheap at the time. Like 1/3rd of what it should have been. I sent that one in and it came back 65 RB and it's nearly the same as that IHC. The type sets been an adventure. Have a had some fun crossing over a couple nice ICG slabs too.

That 84-O Morgan is a mint color. I haven't seen one like it. The Midwest Morgan set is there up above if you'd like to check them all out. I have a good mix of toned and white ones. I like the set because it allows me to chase after good looking Morgans if I see one and gives me a reason. I'm also a fan of overdates and double mintmarks. Got a good closeup pic of my 1882-O over S Strong. I used a 38-D/S Buffalo nickel in the type set.

 

I like to collect sets and fill in the “holes”, which is my mentality of wanting closure. I get it. However, some sets if you want to have a happy outcome take quite awhile - years, decades. Because of that, I like to collect coins other the set to be completed. recently, my wife and I started collecting bust halves, which has been really interesting and fun, while trying to complete a set. Having collecting alternatives of interest keeps your mind fresh.
