<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sonlarson, post: 1611391, member: 15488&quot;]I am far far far from an expert on this, but I&#039;ll make a suggestion&nbsp; When I started my US type set several years ago, I budgeted $50 per coin. Obviously several cost much less than that, but several cost much more, so it evens out. At 78 coins in the typical type set that is $3900. I kept records and I spent $2687.43 to complete my set with an estimated retail value(whatever that is) of $3553.93. If I had $1000 to spend and the coins had to be slabbed, I would pick a series within the type set, look at the cost and work it that way. For example, 1/2 cents only, or large cents only, small cents only, you get the idea. Pick out the series you want, the money you want to spend and see what the highest grade you can afford in the budget. </p><p>Me, I am in a slow process of upgrading everything I have below VF, and going slabbed. Not real concerned if PCGS or NGC. Best of luck[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
