here's what I picked up. The first item is an upgrade. I used the "before" coin as a trade-in for the "after" coin. Here's the "before and after" of my upgrade. I'm using links to the images instead of actually posting the images to avoid the current image posting problem. BEFORE (trade-in): http://www.dcderoo.com/1-1877-XF45-Final2-txt.jpg AFTER (replacement): http://www.dcderoo.com/1-1877-Final-txt.jpg Here are the other two coins I got. They are important because they are the last two varieties I needed to complete the set. (BTW, I'm getting to REALLY dislike the NGC "finger" holders. The smaller the coin, the worse the effect.) 1836 Large 5 Half Dime http://www.dcderoo.com/10hf-1836-Lg5-Final-txt.jpg 1837 Small 5 Half Dime http://www.dcderoo.com/10hf-1837-Sm5-Final-txt.jpg [Hope I didn't botch posting the links.]
Yikes! The 19877 XF45 was beautiful; replacement is just breathtaking. would you mind PM'ing me how much of a trade in you got for the XF - i want to know if i'll ever be able to afford one.
