      I'm putting together a date set of all standard US coins from 1835. Here is my latest pickup...a large cent I won on ebay for $15. Still need the half cent, quarter, and dime...

        That 1798 Draped Bust I picked up with four other large cents off eBay.

        It's a Sheldon-170 variety which is notable for it's weak date; not surprising this one's date is almost totally gone.

          Off the top of my head this seated 1864 came to mind for my quarters. Has to be my lowest minted as well! I received it through inheritance and haven't dove to deeply in to other denominations yet! A little from interest in silver a first!

            Mike, that's a great coin. Coincidentally, the only Seated Liberty Quarter is one I too inherited (from my grandfather). It is a little newer than yours, but it is quite special because it was the oldest silver in my grandfather's collection.

              1831 Coronet from same eBay lot. This one I think will pay for the entire lot once slabbed.

                That one really is a beauty Keith, although I'm not sure if the rim damage on the reverse would keep it from grading cleanly. They may also not like the odd coloring, as it kinda resembles environmental damage...but that's just me. Looks like an XF piece all day.

                    The coloring isn't as bad as it looks in the pictures. Had to lighten the colors digitally so you could actually make out the details. The real tones aren't as extreme. I do see your point about the rim damage though; honestly not sure if that's going to result in a details grade or not.

                      Very nice pick-up on that set of coins Keith! I really like them! Would be nice to find out how they graded.

                                That's why I bought mine using rewards points from my credit card; pinpointer too

                                Don't get discouraged; my best finds are only some wheaties, a '59-D Roosevelt and an Icelandic penny for some reason.
