<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Beefer518, post: 7760087, member: 87737&quot;]The Washington-Carver Silver Commemorative Subset (1951-1954) that is.</p><p><br /></p><p>Because of the numbers minted (in all 1,332,392) and because the series ran over a few years (1951-54 P/D/S (12 coins in all)), I was mislead by my brain to think I could complete it without much difficulty. After all, they&#039;re all over the place, right? </p><p><br /></p><p>The thing is some of them have mintages as low as 8,003! Try buying/finding a Morgan with that kind of production number.</p><p><br /></p><p>At first I was going to go MS66 across the board, then realized a) I&#039;m not in love with the coin, b) some of the lower mintage coins take a <i>HUGE </i>price jump from 65 to 66, c) I didn&#039;t want to spend years on doing this, and d) 66 money on some could be better spent on other coins. So I tried for 65 or up. I did end up with a couple of 64&#039;s because they were in a PDS set 66 at a nice price (basically the 64&#039;s were free). I probably will upgrade those 64&#039;s at some point.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m also working on a Booker T Washington Subset, and that&#039;s proving to be just as challenging, if not more so (I have 6 left on those).</p><p><br /></p><p>At any rate, these last two were a bit tough to find at reasonable prices, and to some degree I &#039;settled&#039; just to complete the subset, but at least I stayed at the 65 level.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you read this much, these were the last two, and if you&#039;d like to see the whole set, it&#039;s here: in my <a href="https://www.ngccoin.com/registry/competitive-sets/310984/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ngccoin.com/registry/competitive-sets/310984/" rel="nofollow">NGC Washington-Carver Thematic Registry Set</a> (Ranked #14)</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1330281[/ATTACH]</p><p>&nbsp;[ATTACH=full]1330282[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
