<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HawkeEye, post: 3475539, member: 86305&quot;]All good points, but I am trying to work on a PR70 set to leave to one of the grandkids down the road.&nbsp; In all likelihood I cannot tell the difference between a 69 and a 70 and I actually thought a good strategy might be to buy a 69 or two and resubmit for consideration as a 70.&nbsp; If you make it the payoff is quite good obviously.&nbsp; You could resubmit it a lot of times before you make up the difference, and sometimes you hit a more receptive grader.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think the 358 number is relatively low because of the collecting population for modern issues.&nbsp; Many newer collectors probably see these as easier to find and understand before heading off in another more complex direction.&nbsp; But for the modern bullion coins with large components it is the accumulated cost of a complete set that kills most, I think.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also have some coins in the world you described, particularly in the Morgan Dollar VAM arena where I have some singularities.&nbsp; I also built a MS/PR 70 First Spouse set for the grandkids.&nbsp; These became somewhat rare as a complete set because as time passed and gold shot up the set became difficult to keep going.&nbsp; I ate a lot of peanut butter some months to get it done.</p><p><br /></p><p>But we all see things a little differently and collect what fascinates us.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
