    Two recommendations:

    I would contact Brian Wagner (BWRC). Tell him what you want and what you want to pay, and let him recommend a few coins for you to view. Brian specializes in these coins (and FECs), has a good eye, and is good to work with.

    You might also ask Mark Feld (MFRC) the same question, but I don't remember seeing too many fliers in his inventory. (Which I would interpret as a testament to how tough they are to find nice, as Mark is very picky. If I were you, I'd just get on Mark's mailing list and wait for one to come into his inventory, but be prepared to wait.)

    NOTE: Nice fliers are not easy to find. Thier value goes up exponentialy once you get into mint state coins, so be VERY CAREFUL TO BE SURE YOUR COIN IS ACCURATELY GRADED beacause a misgraded/overgraded example could be a very costly mistake.

    No matter what you decide, I would strongly suggest you solicit the opinion of an expert on this series before purchasing anything. Try and see as many coins in-hand as you can before purchasing one. It is a series easy to make a mistake in.

    Good luck & I hope this helps.

    Respectfully and humbly submitted...Mike

    If you readly want to split hairs you ready never complete a set of coins that is still being minted, you just have an up todate set.
