<p>[QUOTE="Two Dogs, post: 3357471, member: 85671"]You are wise to conclude that you need to take your time. I was anxious a couple years ago when putting together a set and made some hasty purchases. I would have been much better off to wait to see what other coins might come available. Then when that nice coin comes along, I have to sell the first one I purchased and take a haircut. I LOVE the 1921 Peace Dollar, but it is very difficult coin to find consistent grading. The strikes are different, the penalty for contact marks does not seem to be consistent. You really need some experience and you need to see some in hand before you pull the trigger on a '21. If I was starting a Peace Dollar collection, I'd probably go for the Philadelphia mint coins first. Make sure you try to sell some of the coins you've purchased just to do a reality check on what you've been paying. Find a coin show to attend near you and ask lots of questions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
