Mark Stilson Posted April 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 One 1971 U.N Peace coin Getting antsy. I'm waiting on 6 proof sets, which will get me 2 sets away from 1960 to 1990 regular sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Stilson Posted April 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 Picked up some duplicate proof sets. But the right price. 1962 proof 1964 proof Really nice strikes in these two sets. Then a 1990 proof which brings me the 1988 proof away from completing 1960 to 1990. The dealer is going to bring it next week. Japan 1923 50 sen .720 silver Canada 50 cent .925 silver Robert K. Phelps Worlds second greatest magician. Saw what it said and it was Huh? So what the hey.

Mark Stilson Posted April 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Another really should not have picked up coin. I already have a 1879s but a decent upgrade. Just wish it did not have as many bag marks. Did get it for a good price though, so I really can't gripe. Also out of the junk coin bin a cheap 2001 d mint statehood quarter mint set upgrade for my state quarter display folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Stilson Posted May 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 Ya'll are really dangerous for me. Since I've posted and organized my collection. I keep noticing "Hey, just a few more of these" and I'll have this set . Still need the 1895 morgan which may be some time off till I find the right deal. The proofs I can bite off a chunk at a time. I'm not sure whether to work on the large cents or franklins. I'm pretty close on franklins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
