<p>[QUOTE=&quot;smb12321, post: 63003, member: 3682&quot;]Yes, I am bragging.&nbsp; With the 1793 half cent (F), I now have 101 of the 102 coins needed for my Type Set (non-gold).&nbsp; I only lack the Small Eagle Half as do 99% of collectors.&nbsp; Our house burned down three years ago and in my fireproof safe I found my old Whirman album with the uncirculated Barbers I got as a kid.&nbsp; I had ten BU Trade dollars from an uncle including an 1878-CC that I traded for my Chain Cent.&nbsp; I decided to finish the collection and began&nbsp; studying, visiting coin shows, estates, various dealers&nbsp; I traded all but one of the dollars for other coins.&nbsp; I made mistakes like impulse buying, low quality coins, deals &quot;too good to be true&quot;. About half is slabbed and with three XF exceptions, everything past 1800 is MS50+.</p><p><br /></p><p>A few of my favorites: 1794 Large Cent (MS50), 1837 No Stars Dime (MS63), 1839 No Drapery Half (MS53), 1862 Indian cent (MS66), 1869 3 cent copper (MS67), 1921 High Relief Peace (MS65) and of course all the gorgeous 18th century coins - my favorites! </p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately my teenage sons could care less about coins (except spending them). The collection is insured; I am NOT going to lock them in a bank vault out of sight. So gang, how do I display them?&nbsp; I&nbsp; have some ideas...there is a long, narrow room on the bottom floor.&nbsp; Any suggestions would be appreciated.</p><p><br /></p><p>smb12321[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
