<p>[QUOTE="messydesk, post: 3167288, member: 1765"]Yes. I put a 50-coin set together, which I'm probably under water on, given they've been getting cheaper. <a href="https://www.pcgs.com/setregistry/alltimeset/45016" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pcgs.com/setregistry/alltimeset/45016" rel="nofollow">Here's a link.</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I put the set together precisely because they show some of the best designs to come out of the mint (as well as some clunkers). If you start buying these, pay attention to current pricing, as the pricing curve usually has a big, flat section that doesn't move much as the grade changes. Since every issue is different, you'll have to look at a lot of coins to get a feel for what the nice ones are supposed to look like in terms of strike, luster, and color. You'll also learn how to spot ones that look wrong. Since most of them aren't rare, you'll have an opportunity to cherrypick for quality, so don't settle for a "filler" coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
