[QUOTE="dimeguy, post: 5946955, member: 19855"]Thanks for the positive feedback, everyone. I truly have forgotten how nice collecting circulated coins feels. My last set of circulated coins was my first, a Merc set of F-XF I put together as a teenager into my early twenties. It is nice not to worry about luster breaks and fine markings on the fields and other such devices. I am looking forward to learning of the series and grades. I feel with my other sets, I was becoming too telescoped. The Lincoln set I am putting together for example is all low MS. Now that I am getting to the harder dates I am having to go AU on some of the coins, but feel I have been looking at MS cents for so long I do not trust my gauge of AU graded coins. Hopefully having a inclusive set as these Walkers will help out in being more rounded for visual grading of the series. As for the pic of full labels, sorry I forgot in my excitement for the coins. One is PCGS other is ICG. I know ICG isn't one of the main three, but the coin was attractive, appeared original in surface and was cheaper than similarly graded NGC counterpart so I bought it.
