<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mac266, post: 970972, member: 26371&quot;]Some of you will poo poo this, but I&#039;m doing it for the sentimentality.&nbsp; My oldest son was born in 2006 and I&#039;m putting together an NGC certified year set for him.&nbsp; That&#039;s one of each business strike coin minted that year, both mint marks.&nbsp; I&#039;m buying them in MS condition, not pulling them from circulation, and then sending them to NGC for certification / slabbing.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It will be 20 coins when I&#039;m done (cent, nickel, dime, five statehood quarters, half, Sac dollar X two for both mint marks).&nbsp; Twenty coins X $12.50 each (cost to certifiy and slab moderns) = $250.00.</p><p><br /></p><p>I fully understand these coins aren&#039;t worth anywhere close to that; in fact, I think all totalled they&#039;re worth $2.91 if my math is correct.&nbsp; However, like I said from the outset, I&#039;m doing this for sentimentality.&nbsp; Even if he doesn&#039;t take up coin collecting he&#039;ll have something to remember me by when I&#039;m gone, and it will be more personal to him.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
