[QUOTE="Coinman1981, post: 695337, member: 20610"]I completed an XF+ 20th century type set, housed in a white Capital holder. For this, I wound up buying a 1911 AU-55 Liberty nickel in a SEGS, 1938-D MS-64 Buffalo in NGC, 1914 AU-58 Barber Dime in a PCGS, 1916 EF-45 Barber quarter in a SEGS, 1930 AU-55 SLQ (with light gold tone around the rims) in ANACS, and 1912-D EF-45 Barber half in ANACS -- all eventual crack outs. Let me tell you, I went through the same round of self-doubt that some of you did -- and these are $50-200 coins I'm talking about; nothing like the ones worth several hundred to over $2,500 apiece as discussed here. In the end, I don't at all regret cracking them out; I still have the grading slips, and the set looks absolutely beautiful in its safe, Capital Plastics home. Though I can understand why the even the allure of a completed album would make some think twice before breaking out the pliers and cracking a $4,000 coin from its certified home.[/QUOTE]
