<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ngs428, post: 1456472, member: 38003&quot;]Thanks for the tips everyone.&nbsp; I have spent the last approximately 12 months on and off searching (only purchasing a coin or two for the type set).&nbsp; I understand and have heard many times that patience is a virtue.</p><p><br /></p><p>I posted about these 2 nickels to educate myself on what I should be looking for on these types.&nbsp; I have found that you can spend a lot of time searching for one coin and then move on to the next, when you could have been using that same amount of time to search for a couple coins that you know well, as was stated, maybe stick to Nickels.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I am sticking to grades that are the break point between a lower cost coin and a much higher cost coin.&nbsp; For the 1913 T1 in MS-64 it is $80 on NumisMedia, for the MS-65 it is $156.&nbsp; For the Liberty Nickel, in MS-64 it is $81 on NumisMedia, for the MS-65 it is $206.&nbsp; Personally it is not worth the extra money to get to the higher grade, that is my thought, many others disagree.</p><p><br /></p><p>My grandfather got me started in the hobby, his collection was not full of choice examples (MS-66, etc.) but it meant a lot to him and meant a lot to me to see what he loved.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t have $200 to set aside for a coin of this type (for other types I will certainly have to), I would much rather spend in the range I am considering and be happy with that I purchased.&nbsp; Each of have our own philosophy.&nbsp; I enjoy the collecting and like to get a nice example in the price range I set.</p><p><br /></p><p>Having the knowledge for the coin types is a must if you want to purchase something and be happy with it many years down the road.&nbsp; If you don&#039;t know something at this point and realize it later after the purchase, that is when buyer&#039;s remorse will set in.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have certainly gained knowledge on Liberty Nickels after posting this thread, so I can take that, add to it and make an informed purchase in my budget that I am happy with.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Again, thanks for all the assistance in this thread![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
