I got a 1892-P Barber Half in F-12 for $2.00. To me that would be a good one to slab just because it's worth more then what I paid and so it won't be damaged.

One more thing....what about using grading services to help learn how to grade the MS grades??

I'm doing a set of proof franklins 1950-1963 all in PF-66. Since I'm not sure of myself when grading proofs I will only buy the coins slabbed.
(so far I have almost a complete set from 1956-1963...so have cameo and are higher grade then PF-66)

Just some thoughts....

I built a set of PCGS 1881-S Morgans, AU thru MS-67, each and every grade. It's helpful just to have that referance, a 60, or a 62 or whatever. Next I'll do a P mint then an O mint.

Also have a set of 09-S Lincolns PCGS from VG thru AU-55, same thing. Not only fun, but a great way to build a true grading set referance.
