<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MadMartigan, post: 1963223, member: 58925&quot;]#6 on the first list is a huge biggie</p><p><br /></p><p>Say you are like me and have been working on a 7070 and you get to the point where most of the coins left are in the $75-300 range but some of those few you need can be had in very low grades of $30-40 so you are tempted to buy them just to fill the hole.&nbsp; I don&#039;t always have $100 to spend on a coin but I normally do have $40 to spend and have done that in the past and then I end up with #1 on the list lots of dead coins that got upgraded when I have had more money.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have solved this two ways number one is doing less inexpensive sets like the Franklin half dollar set that I can easily add a MS61-Ms63 coin to my set at any given time for less than $40 when I want to buy something but don&#039;t have the money for a more expensive coin. Its also why I started collecting world bullion from different countries.&nbsp; And the second way has been by starting cheap starter sets for my kids.&nbsp; I purchased a couple of the Whitman 20th century type set albums and when I feel like upgrading a coin in my 7070 i downgrade it to my kids sets (like I wanted to upgrade my mercury dime recently as I had an AU in my 7070 so I bought a ms63 and downgraded my AU to one of my kids sets).&nbsp; Now my kids have sets when they get older and I can upgrade my coins without creating a ton of dead coins.&nbsp; I just finished my oldest boys 20th century type and am now working on my youngest boys I figured when I was done with his I would maybe start a whitman 20th century type for myself and maybe also do a whitman 20th and 21st century type set for myself as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
