hey guys, I just made some progress in amassing every year and mint and year of cent. I just got home from my coin club tonight where I picked up some commen and semi-key dates: 1820 large cent vg-8: 9.00 1909 indian head cent vg-8: 11.00 1865 indian head cent g-4, 1890 indian head cent g-4, 1891 indian head cent g-4, and 1911-d wheat cent g-4: all 4 for 9.00 (plus a free 1903 liberty head nickel since im a kid) So how did I do tonite?
I am still the 16d and 42/1 short of dimes from 16 to date. I appreciate all the work you have put into cents. I don't imagine I will every get beyond the Lincolns. I am working on getting the transitions. Need both 92 CAM and the 88/89. Habe the WAMs and the 88/89 D. But some of these are tough.
yeah some are really really tough to get... And I would get some better grades, but right now I'm a little short on cash right now and some dates go through the roof in better grades. I plan on getting every mint and date, then upgrading dates I have in lower grades.
What coin club are you a member of? I've thought about joining a club is St. Louis, because its probably the closest place to me where there is a club. Its still pretty far though, about 2 hours away.
I'm part of the st. louis numismatic assoication, we meet the first friday of every month. membership is 10.00 a year per family, but the meetings are open to the public. usually 6-9:45ish, dealers set up tables from 6-8, very brief meeting of what coin shows that month, then a 50 lot auction after that.
