<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tcore, post: 194838, member: 2949&quot;]skinnyeddie, when putting together your type set, I would suggest not looking for the coins with the highest mintage just to fill holes. Do your research first. Often times, you will be able to obtain coins that have significantly lower mintages than the most minted coins for the same price or just a small premium over the most common. If you buy the most common date for each type, your collection will have a lesser chance of being worth more someday than if you buy the most common issues. Even if you&#039;re just a collector, thinking of potential value is important in my mind. If you have two coins, one has a mintage of 500,000 and the other 75,000, but both have relatively high percentages of surviving coins, it might just be the case that they&#039;re close to the same price...I&#039;d buy the one that had 75,000. This is particularly evident in the US Gold Series, so do your homework and have fun!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Oh, and I might suggest <a href="http://www.harlanjberk.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.harlanjberk.com" rel="nofollow">www.harlanjberk.com</a> as a place to start as I&#039;ve heard good things about them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
