<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Prime Mover, post: 1939819, member: 38783&quot;]If you want to build a set of lower grade coins because you want to, then by all means do it.&nbsp; Sometimes lower grades are a challenge especially for the reasons stated - people won&#039;t bother to submit the coins since they know they&#039;re lower grade and not worth the return on the grading investment.</p><p><br /></p><p>Unless you&#039;re talking a lowball set (G or F grades, especially in moderns) - those can go for good bucks since they can be just as hard to come by as high grades - anything in the lower in-between range isn&#039;t likely to have any sort of returns, you&#039;ll be lucky to break even.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally I&#039;ve got 2 sets of Ikes I&#039;m working on like this, full sets in MS-63 and MS-64.&nbsp; It&#039;s been very challenging to find the last 3 coins I need to complete both sets as the silver business strikes for 1973/4/6 are very hard to come by in those lower grades.&nbsp; You have to get lucky that someone sent in a bunch to grade and they came back lower like that.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m doing it because I want to, and the challenge of finding those few coins that are very uncommon in those grades is a sense of accomplishment when done.&nbsp; However, I&#039;m considering every penny I spend on these sets as lost money.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
