I have purchased several "high cost" to me individual coins such as the Lincoln Wheat Cents 1909-S VDB, 1909-S, 1910-S, 1911-S 1914-D, 1924-D and 1931-S. I am looking to spend around $300 on SEVERAL coins. These could be coins that further my Lincoln Wheat Cent collection or something different. A few interests of mine are Buffalo Nickels, Morgan's, Mercury Dimes, etc. Essentially, I am not a set builder. I buy what I really like. Any recommendations on 2-4 coins that could be had in AU58 to MS64 in my price range?
I think you should include a 1943 Steel cent in there, they can be somewhat reasonable. I have a MS67 S mint one that I got for under 200. Any P, D, or S one in MS64 or 65 is pretty low and would not take too much of your budget. PCGS has it between 22-28$ right now on their site, but I don't know what they are actually being asked for this. I purposely went for the highest grade I could afford. Then, maybe find a really sweet Mercury dime. Don't think you will regret that.
You alone are the Captain of your ship. The master of your collection. Make your own decision........
Forvthe coins you listed, Buffalo Nickels, Morgans and Mercury Dimes, $300 can buy quite a bit. Do your research, check the grades and be patient. It's your collection so build it as you like.
Don't run, walk slow do some research and choose something you really like and be happy and proud with what you spent you're hard earned money on
