That sounds like a wonderfully fun project you've gotten yourself. Enjoy it and share some photos & info with us when you can.

I like that note. Great design.

Neat notes.

I certainly have to agree with that. Very interesting.

I like the Jeffersons a lot. Great coins Steve. I like the old Jefferson portrait more than the new design.

only added a few Jeffersons to omnicoin lately but they're nice ones. 2007S Jefferson Nickel PF69UC - NGC The image really doesn't even come close to doing justice to this proof. It is absolutely electric.

Been updating photos this past week or so. So I've added a bunch to my Registry Sets and also on omnicoin. You might want to take a peek if you're a Roosevelt (or Jefferson or Indian Head Cent or Large Cent fanatic). 1962D Roosevelt Dime MS64FB PCGS

Very nice Clive. That Presidential Dollar set is really quite a nice Secret Santa surprise. WOW! Love the groat. Looks like Henry took a shot in the nose.

That's a beautiful image. Can you tell us about your photo setup?

The closest I can find to your needs and one that would allow you to start your set without regard to coins being either PCGS or NGC is the NGC Registry "19th Century Series Type Set, Non-Proofs Only - No Gold". It does not include 1900 as part of the 19th Century. But it does not require proof coins or gold coins to complete the set. Another interesting type set is the 7070 No Gold set. It's the equivalent of the Dansco 7070 album. It's a nice fun set to play with. Whatever you decide, I hope that you have fun with it. I don't do the Registry Set thing to be competitive, it's just a nice way to track what I'm collecting and give me easily documented targets.

I do in fact have that coin in both a PCGS holder and an NGC holder. I plan to eventually have a full Roosevelt Set in PCGS and another full set in NGC -- same for Jeffersons.

PCGS Registry requires only PCGS certified coins. NGC Registry accepts either PCGS or NGC or NCS coins. The main set that I'm close to completion on is all PCGS coins. I have an NGC set that is only NGC coins but that has a much longer way to go.

I'm only 8 coins from completing my PCGS Registry Set for Proof Roosevelt Dimes. It used to be possible to have the entire set re-slabbed with a custom label - not sure if you can still do that. It's probably too expensive anyway. Does anyone know the story on this?

I'll bid $4.25

Can you show us a photo of the NM Tax token?

Very nice. The CD version has got to be one of the most useful things they've created in a long time.

Great note Dave. The colors are superb.

Since the original posts were in 2007, I doubt that we'll ever get to see the results of this one. I, like you, would really enjoying seeing what grade it was given. I'd go with MS63RB.

Looks like some great information and fun reading there.

So I'm wondering if we've stopped purchasing or stopped posting or both? I personally haven't purchased anything in quite a while (Numismatic Literature wise).

Nice cents and an interesting writeup. The type set cents are very attractive coins. Can you give us a translation of the Chinese characters on the reverse?

1793 got my vote. It's a beautiful design. Wish I had one.

Got a very nice Christmas Card from Ling and his family. Old friends from IBM days. A really nice family. Got a nice Christmas Card from Jeff Tryka today. A nice friend from here. Thanks Jeff. Got a nice Christmas Card from Mark Stilson. Another nice friend from here. A couple of nice notes for my collection Thanks Mark. I'll scan them later.

Great find Mark. A Frankie and it looks to be in halfway decent shape too. Must have been very gentle soil.
