Message:: [QUOTE="imrich, post: 1300969, member: 22331"]Very Limited Choices For Many Dates If you try to collect this type coin, I believe you'll find the the choices are very limited for a great number of the dates in this series. I believe that you'll also find a great disparity in grading standards for this type coin. Often I believe you'll find that one firm is more likely to use "market grading", which may result in reduced resale offers. This is a series that you should only purchase certified "sight seen" with an understanding of proper relative grading criteria.  I've found that if one wants quality versus name recognition, you may not even be looking at these 2 certifier choices for this type coin. This is a type of coin where you can hardly even locate/afford many dates, much less try to collect them in higher mint state grade. My recommendation is that other the 1908 date NM, 1910, common date 1920's which can be easily acquired in MS-63 (PCGS preferred if comparable to NGC), you acquire that which you can find in best grade condition for the money (preferably any mint state). You'll find numerous under educated individuals who've lost considerable funds investing in this type coin, by being sold, purchasing name recognition, rather than relatively accurate detail graded coins.  CAVEAT EMPTOR!! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
