<p>[QUOTE="krispy, post: 850394, member: 19065"]Thanks Duke. I'm not really starting with any particular denomination. Rather, I'm looking for what I can afford as I search without going overboard with spending so when I see something really nice that's also graded or pluck something raw from a bank pick up to fill holes I'm all over it. By design, I'd say I have considered both ChCU and graded, be they PMG or PCGS and will try to avoid other TPGs. For graded notes I will shoot for the highest grades I can get but will avoid anything below AU 55/58 grades-- <i>note</i>: this applies to the $1-$20 range I am working on, larger denominations may require me to accept lower grades once I get up there. Also, by design, anything I can find in ChCU that fills a hole and that's not obscenely overpriced will stand to fill a hole in my district checklist. Then, as I am able to bring in graded notes to replace them, I will probably try to refined my collection to contain graded examples. Based on how long this collection may take to build, perhaps holding those raw notes now will pay off as I try to move to mostly graded notes down the road. Trade in to get nicer notes or graded examples, or simply get raw notes I pick up now graded myself later when I know paper well enough to estimate the grades they'll come back.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
