    This set was about 4 years in the coming but here is the latest addition

    I'm not going to post each coin, but they are on the link below. This was a quick run through without the tripod.

    Did you forget your reading glasses when you were lining them up in the holder?

    :devil:

    Nice set!

    Congrats on getting the set. Don't forget to check your 1943 P for a 1943/2 or a doubled eye and 1945 P for a doubled die reverse. Also there are a number of repunched mintmarks in the war nickel set.
    There have been lucky collectors who ended up with a bonus in these sold as 11 coin sets.

    Nice set. When I see a set like this where the coins have changed direction in the holder, I think it has been in that holder for a while.

    He may have had a few too many when he put them in the holder. :smile

    Nah - he is an old widower with a bad back from Brighton Beach with lots of good coin dealer stories which is why I overpay for everything :)

    I got that from Pace coins. I think the number is on my website. He's pretty decent... one of the few decent store front dealers in NYC.

    (PS. I have no finacial stake in his operation)
