What's wrong with this set?

Just took on the job of cataloging of a small collection. Will share some of it as I go to get some feedback. What is the 1st (most important) thing that jumps off the page when you look at this set? Should be obvious.

I'll even narrow it down a little:

 

After zooming in a few times, I have a feeling you're holding a coin worth millions or almost nothing.

 

Stop posting trick questions Darryl. There's nothing wrong with that set.........

 

LOL, the owner wishes...

 

Safe bet on the later Looks nice though

 

Then the owner is in a 'bag' like I am...........

 

Yes it does. I like the Barber dime and quarter a lot as well.

 

God's teeth, this is why I stick with moderns..........

 

The minting date of the indian head penny

 

The internet and my outdated red book says they started minting them in 1859 while this says 1864

 

Well, if you can read that date you're a better man thanI Gunga Din,,,,,,,

 

And not all of them are twentieth century type! That's the biggest thing!

 

The Indian head is 1904 and is a really nice coin that is easily MS RB. A couple small carbon spots but still a sweet coin. Tons of luster...

 

? No what the set says the mintage dates are.

 

I agree, nice toning on the dime, the two early cents are nice, and the 50d. The Morgan is a nice AU and the Peace maybe MS.

 

After you click on the photo there is a zoom in icon on the bottom right, i had to click on it twice to see what the OP is talking about.

 

I am sorry, I miss understood what you meant - you are right but that's not the biggest issue with the set and you would have to zoom into the dates to see what I mean.

If you click on the images it should open an original image that can zoom way in.

 

The set calls out different compositions, and bronze IHCs only started in 1864. It's technically correct (the best kind).

Also, it's weird -- I could read the "questionable" date clearly the first time I viewed the full-size image, but now I can't make it out, even when I zoom my screen further.

 

Uhhh?
