<p>[QUOTE=&quot;franklinohio, post: 1872929, member: 67614&quot;]Thanks for all of the advice so far.&nbsp; To start I will tell you that the collection I had been building since I was a kid was stolen in 2010.&nbsp; It was nothing spectacular and in the recent years, the main things I was buying were Silver Eagles and silver proof sets with the state quarters.&nbsp; I had bought a Silver Eagle every year since they came out.&nbsp; And I had bought the silver proof sets every year since the state quarters started, so I think I had the complete set.&nbsp; It always bugged me that my coin collection was stolen and took my enthusiasm away.&nbsp; I am not one to dwell so I moved on.&nbsp; But I always loved the Silver Eagles (avatar).&nbsp; So my first purchase was a complete set of MS-69 Silver Eagles.&nbsp; That has fueled my enthusiasm again.&nbsp; Also I have since realized that my tiny little collection had to have been worth at least $5000.&nbsp; So now I am starting over and have decided to take this approach:&nbsp; I want to start with US Half Dollars; I want to buy only XF40 or better (maybe slightly less); the main thing is I want to be able to clearly read &quot;LIBERTY&quot;; will start with getting one of every type of half dollar; I have identified 1892-O Barber Half, 1852-O Seated Liberty Half, 1839 Capped Bust Reverse Half, and 1916 Waling Liberty Half.&nbsp; I would be interested in buying a complete set of AU or BU Franklin Half Dollars, but I can&#039;t find a complete set.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any comments, advice, or suggestions on anything I mentioned here?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
