<p>[QUOTE="coinhead63, post: 1368206, member: 28001"]Even though you have decided to go with the Barbers, the Franklins are much more affordable even in higher grades like EF-40 and higher. I do agree that uniformity of grades is best in that having a few EFs and MSs mixed in with VGs and Gs make the lower grade coins look even worse. I started several series by filling as many holes as I could as fast as I could and found later that I was constantly upgrading my less desireable specimines. It would probably be best to look at the key date(s) of a particular series and see what the best grade is that you can afford whether it is G-4 or clear up to mid to high MSs. That will help you establish a uniform collection that is the most affordable for your budget.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
