<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lonegunlawyer, post: 1553195, member: 40282&quot;]What I am trying to communicate is buy the best grade of the single coin you can for the $10 instead of splitting it up into multiple coins of lesser grades.&nbsp; This is my general rule.&nbsp; However, I have purchased a slabbed 64 coin when a few dollars more would have gotten me a 66-67 because I wanted a 64 grade for comparison and research purposes.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I am solely trying to put together a set, then I try to figure out a basic budget and purchase coins at a &quot;set grade&quot; instead of purchasing the best single coin I can at the moment (there are exceptions).&nbsp; Perhaps this is your suggestion, start an IHC set and complete it on a cheap budget.&nbsp; If this is the case, I think it is a good idea.</p><p><br /></p><p>But, again, if the OP&#039;s intent is a single purchase, then good numismatic literature or a single coin in the best grade $10 will buy.</p><p><br /></p><p>For a single coin, Mercury dimes have a cool obverse, but the bicentennial quarter has a very singular reverse celebrating the country&#039;s 200th birthday.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
