<p>[QUOTE="fiddlehead, post: 6514813, member: 31286"]Thanks for looking. It took a long time, one bite at a time. I have always thought of it as a way to diversify my investments. I think I've been pretty successful at doing so on a modest income. But I don't waste money on things like new cars and paying for more housing space than I need. I think I probably have enough in my collections for a college education, maybe two with some scholarships. When I'm gone they can figure that out! Now ..... I need three half dimes and one dime to get 100% complete on my 1840 set. Average grade is probably XF45. About half have CAC and three are lower than XF40, nothing higher grade than AU55. Those half dimes are so small. Anyone got an 1840 half dime they want to load my set? Kind of like putting something on loan to a museum. I know a lot of people love those little coins. I like the big ones that are easier to see. Haha, the great thing about that era is that the pennies are huge! Maybe if I come across some I love. It's a good year though. Lots of first year of issue and some good stories about the mints, mid year changes, etc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
