[QUOTE="Treashunt, post: 256736, member: 6763"]Bruce: Great question. (First: How deep are your pockets??) The quarters are achievable, with enough money. I really like the set, but monjo bucks for the three keys, and a nice bit for some of the semi-keys.). As for the half dollars, great set (also), more reasonable, but there are some dates that in XF are nearly impossible. I have a 1914 in XF-45 that is the ONLY one that I have ever seen, overpaid at the time, August, 1999 (paid a ton over bid $300 total) now bid is $575 ask= $625. And I have never seen another. Recently I was able to find another, in MS-63, and got it for bid -- and it is in an NGC slab. If you are patient, the half dollars are a great set to show off, and I really like to large seize. the eagle on the reverse looks great. Also, the quarters do have a number of varieties that are fun to look for, but I have discovered a number of them, and they are listed today. There are many more still to be found. The half dollars, if you enjoy varieties are the way to go. They are practically unexplored territory. There a Barber half variety book, but it stinks. If the author didn't have such a crappy attitude I could have doubled the number of listings that he had. So, in direct answer to your question: Why not both? Seriously, value wise, the half dollars seem to have more room for growth.[/QUOTE]
