[QUOTE="gbroke, post: 915291, member: 22585"]Susan B anthony dollars are great coins to get started in coin collecting because of it's short run, in my opinion. You can easily get the entire set with proofs, with little effort and for a reasonable price. So, I have a few complete (raw, unc) sets of SBA and thought I was happy. Then I read an article about "full talons" and how someday they might be recognized, just like Full Steps (Jefferson Nickel), Full Bell lines (Franklin Half), and Full Bands (Roosevelt Dime). So I start going through all of my SBA's, and I do find some with full talons, but not neaarly enough. Now I feel like my set is not complete until they are all full talons. Do you think that someday the grading companies will recognize this? According to the article, only 5% of SBA's struck have full talons. Should I care at all? Do you care at all? -greg here is a link to the article: [URL]http://www.smalldollars.com/dollar/add017.html[/URL][/QUOTE]
