<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 124374, member: 2972&quot;]I believe you should think long and hard about your type set goals from the beginning, and well before you purchase any coins for it.&nbsp; Most of the mistake coins in my type set were made before I knew enough to make the right decision on a coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Raw coins is a good idea.&nbsp; I would suggest putting together a Dansco 7070 type set -- it would be an impressive accomplishment, and can be done in many different grade and price levels.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, raw coins have a downside -- as you&#039;re not an expert in them your likelihood of getting a counterfeit and/or problem coin will be increased.</p><p><br /></p><p>So until you feel comfortable in your abilities to spot problem coins, I would suggest you stick to purchasing slabbed coins (particularly for the older coins) and cracking them out.&nbsp; If you choose to do a Dansco, you can keep the labels in the back of the Dansco for provenance.</p><p><br /></p><p>All my humble opinion...Mike</p><p><br /></p><p>p.s.
