[QUOTE="doug5353, post: 2086751, member: 73555"]In either case, you will discover the same old problem: buyers will want you to break up the sets, to avoid spending money for a lot of duplicates and/or cheap coins they already have. In Lincolns, for instance, think how many of the coins can be bought for $1 or less; this is where Type Sets have an advantage. By buying quality coins, while it's not likely someone will buy a Type Set intact, there's usually a buyer for every piece. If you buy a lot of cheap coins to complete a "set," it will take forever to sell them down the line. And if any of us knew which collecting style would "turn out better on price" in 20 years, that prophet would become a millionaire. Still, there's a reason that the rarest Lincoln sells for 25,000+ times as much as the most common... I personally prefer Type Sets, and I think most non-collectors find them more interesting than a whole album of identical Lincoln mugs.[/QUOTE]
