<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 4084544, member: 100459&quot;]It seems that every time I get interested in a coin set, I find that everybody has already collected them and they become hard to find. Like the IHC, my father gave me a bunch of IHCs, so I bought a Whitman and started filling the holes. Then I got to the last hole to fill.&nbsp; With the price of the 1877 IHC being several hundreds of dollars for a &quot;Good&quot; grade, it will be a longshot to find one that I can afford. </p><p>I was very lucky on one set.&nbsp; My father collected the Eisenhower dollars.&nbsp; He had over 50 coins which was divided between me and my brother. He had no interest in collecting, but didn&#039;t want to give or sell them to me.&nbsp; There were several duplicates in my half.&nbsp; I was lucky that he had no idea that it was better to have different year coins, so, I traded my duplicates for some of his coins that I didn&#039;t have. I hope he doesn&#039;t read CT.&nbsp; I build models also.&nbsp; He told me I could have his whole collection of coins if I would build a 1968 Oldsmobile 442.&nbsp; I just got the model from ebay.&nbsp; Now, coin collecting will be on the back burner until I send the completed model to him.&nbsp; He will turn 70 this year, so I am hoping he is a man of honor.&nbsp; He&#039;ll probably claim he doesn&#039;t remember the arrangement because of Alzheimer&#039;s.&nbsp; Oh well![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
