Message:: [QUOTE="texmech, post: 999022, member: 20068"]Another way to look at it and this depends on you is similar to what I am doing with various sets. I am filling in the holes with coins that I can afford/justify. I get all the commons and go after what keys and semi keys when I can. Then when all I have left is something like the 09 S VDB, I move on to another set. I am actually doing about five sets like this. My goal is to fill all the holes I can and leave the blanks for the hard to get ones. Then at this point and a few years later I will start obtaining the remaining hard to get ones. It's amazing how busy you can stay just going after the common and semi key coins. Except for the Morgans, which I am also going after the other holes in my sets are usually around $100 to $200 type coins. I can easily get about 10 to 15 commons for that price. Some people would say I am doing it back wards and should go after the keys first, which may be true for the actual appreciating argument, but I get much value looking at a set with few holes.[/QUOTE]
