<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kevin Mader, post: 5375623, member: 106826&quot;]A few thoughts:</p><p><br /></p><ul> <li>As [USER=19750]@furham[/USER] suggests, you can use this as a temporary filler and upgrade it when you find a better one (this is true for any date/mm in your set).&nbsp; Very common to continually visit a date/mm over the years.&nbsp; NOTE: if you use a press folder to hold your coins (e.g., Whitman), the hole will eventually enlarge and not retain a coin.</li> <li>Low-ball sets: some folks create low-ball sets, generally well circulated coins that have a certain look/patina about them that makes them attractive in a different way than say an MS set of shiny red specimens.</li> <li>Environmentally damaged sets: basically I&#039;ve seen this done (and done one myself) of environmentally damaged coins (in my case, Jefferson&#039;s that are dark but have a cameo-like appearance).</li> <li>Circulation sets: coins strictly plucked from circulation (change, found on ground, CRH).&nbsp; These generally are the progressive type like furham suggests: upgrade as you go along.&nbsp; The challenge here is to build a set from the wild...takes time to do, but doable (Jefferson Nickels for sure...maybe Roosevelt dimes, others?).</li> </ul><p><br /></p><p>The thing of it is, you collect what you want and display it as you see fit.&nbsp; No judgment from the community (well...some might make a comment...but whatever).&nbsp; This is your hobby...your collection, so personalize it and have fun![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
