<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CoinKeeper, post: 1082329, member: 16707&quot;]I have a 7070 Dansco type set, and an MS 20th century slabbed type set. There is obviously overlapping in the two sets so I made the 7070 a circulated set only. My logic is that many 19th and 18th century coins would be expensive to get in MS grade, while 20th century coins are much more affordable in MS. So, all the 20th century coins in my Dansco are in similar grades to my older coins (VG-XF and some AU). I can get almost all the 20th century silver coins in circulated condition for near melt value, and the other coins can be bought for a few bucks a piece in circulated condition. This gives my whole album a nice look since all the coins are in similar condition. Then I&#039;ll get the same coins in MS for my slabbed 20th century type set. Many of these coins are very affordable ($20-$60 range for roosevelts, cents, washingtons, franklins, modern clad, low-mid MS Morgan and peace etc) but then some are around $100 like my indian cent and v nickel. Barber coinage, and the SLQ can be quite a bit more expensive (depending on what grade of course) and I have yet to get one in MS. </p><p><br /></p><p>And I also find it difficult to decide which coins I should include in my slabbed set. There are 4-5 different Kennedy half dollar, Washington, and Ike varieties which vary slightly (90%, 40%, silver and clad bicentennial, clad, and state quarter). I&#039;m planning on including one silver, one clad, and one bicentennial for each one. Mid-MS clads can be purchased for $10-$30, and the others aren&#039;t too expensive either.</p><p><br /></p><p>Both sets are a nice challenge that I really enjoy. Today I just got an 1822 Half Dollar in F12 or 15 condition, a real beauty, and I&#039;m eyeing a slabbed MS Kennedy for my next slabbed type set purchase. Both sets take enough of my time, and don&#039;t break the bank since I&#039;m not collecting them too fast.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
