Working on a PCGS type set and need to pick up slabbed PCGS examples of the various denominations. Suggestions for year and mint mark by denomination to look for? Not interested in Ms70 unless price is not crazy high. Ms66, 67, 68 would be fine. For example, should I look for a 1964 Kennedy or pick up any date and mint mark in high grade? Thanks.
There should be a slot for the 1964 Kennedy, separate from a 1965 to date Kennedy half dollar. You will need both. A 1965-67 SMS Cameo Kennedy would net you more points than say a 1995-D MS67 for example. The rarer the availability of the coin the more the coin is weighted. I am working on the 7070 type set at PCGS also. I opted for a no proof set. Most of my modern coins are 66 or 67. That way it can offset the lower grade coins for the early date expensive ones. You can pick up a PCGS MS70 bullion Silver Eagle for pretty cheap.
You have assumed he is building a Registry set. He may just be putting together a type set that are all PCGS graded.
A type set should require a 1964 Kennedy as it's 90% and a 65, 66, 67, 68, 69 or a 70-D from a SMS for the 40% silver. Then you'll also need a Clad version.
Your probably right. I understood it as he was working on one at PCGS. I definitely would have answered him differently had he said he was working on a type set with all PCGS graded coins. @scott.french3 could still use the set compositions at PCGS registry to get ideas on building his own.
