<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1411718, member: 66"]I guess I'm the contrarian again. Sure I like quality coins as much as anyone, but I don't have much money. Sure I could have saved up and purchased The Ooh and Ahh coins, and today after 40 years I'd have maybe thirty to fifty coins. A high grade accumulation. Instead I have a complete set of Lincolns, indians, two cent, three cent silver, lack one three cent nickel, lack three seated half dimes, complete shield, V, Buffalo, and Jefferson nickels, Roosevelt dimes, lack two Washington quarters, complete Kennedy halves and Ike dollars. My 1793 to date type set (no gold) lacks 11 coins. In large cents I have almost a complete date set, I have complete variety sets for several of the middle dates and 255 of the 295 early date varieties. (There are about 11 early date collections more complete) Add to that over 900 different varieties of 18th century Conder tokens.</p><p><br /></p><p>The quality of my collection isn't something to marvel over, but I think it's breadth is impressive.
