<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mark_h, post: 653046, member: 3726&quot;]Depends on who answers - some will always say buy the highest grade coin you can afford.&nbsp; Others will say - buy key dates first.&nbsp; What is your goal?&nbsp; Type set, lincoln set, SLQ set?&nbsp; Personally - I would look for a coin that fit into my Large Cent or Indian Head Set.&nbsp; It is really tough to say cause some common date coins are readily available in high grades and you can get nice coins at anytime. Depending on the keydate you might have to go with a real low grade - can you live with a set like MS for all coins except a 1916D Merc?&nbsp; I know I could. But some others can&#039;t - so they make the whole set match.&nbsp; Kind of a &quot;Buy what you like?&quot;.&nbsp; And <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> if you have not decided on what to collect - buy some books with it first. Some books are down right expensive. That would have saved me a few bucks to start with.&nbsp; Just my opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
