I thought my auction bidding philosophy was sound. 1) Determine a coin's value from catalogs, auctions or sale results. 2) Subtract from that...
I got one for my type set. It's a Wire Rim in NGC AU-50. That was plenty good enough for me.
I'm fond of the birth year set concept. I've got mine and have given others a few coins struck during their birth year. Proof or Mint sets from...

MFD (My Favorite Dealer) - Nationally known He's fairly local AND I bought my whole FE/IHC collection from him.
