<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 790811, member: 19165&quot;]Several points: </p><p><br /></p><p>1. The grade you choose should be a function of the money you have to spend. If you are looking to buy slabbed, you should either look at a 64FBL set, or a 65/65FBL set. It will be hard to find a straight 64 set, as for most dates 64&#039;s are very inexpensive and not worth slabbing. A straight 65FBL set will get very expensive for key dates. I knew that for my set I wanted everything FBL - I love a strong strike - so I did a mixed grade 64FBL/65FBL set. </p><p><br /></p><p>2. Getting them all in the same holder looks very nice. NGC is my favorite, mostly because their standards for FBL are far superior. To me, the PCGS standards for FBL are essentially worthless. NGC coins will also generally be less expensive. Their grading is every bit as good, or better, than PCGS, but there are more kool-aid drinkers - and PCGS only allows PCGS coins into their registry, which puts more pressure on their price. I recommend NGC holders. </p><p><br /></p><p>3. A Franklin set can be a challenge depending on how you choose to go about it, but I highly recommend it. It is a very rewarding experience, as you can see from my set linked below. Whatever you decide, good luck, have fun, and remember - when searching for FBL coins, patience is the key![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
