    Very good! In essense, its as if it was carved into the coin, rather than stamped...

    Hi Ruben...

    I have about 15K commited to a few nice Large Size notes...after these I plan on starting the $5 Indian collection if all goes well and the economic conditions start to stablize.

    Thanks for asking!

    start with the keys (09-o, 11-d, 29). Then get the semi-keys, and then call me and I can simply and cheaply fill out the generics.

    The 09-o shows up in low grade unc a few time per year and a 62 should be obtainable for $40-$46k though I'm sure you know that :)

    Goog luck, its a tough set!

    Ruben....

    LOL...I am not just a Sales Person...
    #1 in the Company under the CEO... (if that means anything at all...LOL)

    I do ok...always working to do better!

    This set seems to be very expensive as the Troll mentioned, I know it is and to drop 46 K on a single coin, well that might take 2 years to get it.

    Keep in mind my main focus is the paper collection and I have my goals set to obtain some rare high grade notes....I may be torn between 2 evils LOL

    Regards,

    I wouldn't buy these unless they were counterfeit.

    Hello RickieB,

    I think that the inverse releif Indian set would be a great project. If you decide to do it, then please let us know how it progresses.

    My only advice is to buy only slabbed coins. I was in an advanced grading class a couple years ago & an entire slabbed inverse relief Indian set was passed around the class for our opinions. Everyone in the class failed miserably at guessing the TPG grades. The instructors were laughing out loud at us all. It was like punishment for everyone. Buy only NGC & PCGS slabbed Indians & learn to grade them & god bless you.

    Very best regards,

    Sure, I've started a $5 Indian collection ! I have exactly one... a conservatively graded MS62 1909-D.

    I've got a long way to go, I suppose... :whistle:

    Hey - we have the same collection, but mine's a 61. I'm waiting patiently for someone to take pity and give me a few more.

    I'm certain that you earn every cent and I just wish I could earn it as well :)
