<p>[QUOTE=&quot;flintcreek6412, post: 1930286, member: 61025&quot;]A 7070 is a great reference but not the end all of Type Set models.&nbsp; The nice thing about slabbed coins is that you know what you&#039;ve got and they are much easier to sell if you want to upgrade to a nicer coin or even change direction completely(and I&#039;ve done both).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I would encourage you to set a budget and from there pick realistic grades by type.&nbsp; For me I choose all problem free slabbed coins(no details grades) in common dates.&nbsp; My standard was MS or better 20th century coins, XF40 or better 1850-1900 coins and the minimum grade I would accept for older stuff was F12 for draped bust large cents etc.&nbsp;&nbsp; This can easily be done for $5000.&nbsp;&nbsp; It jumped to $13K when I added the gold.&nbsp;&nbsp; Now I&#039;m upgrading some and going in other directions on others.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I put all my coins in pages that held slabs so they displayed in folders nicely.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>You can start with just a sample of each if you want or go all out for the varieties.&nbsp; All the seated varieties is what did me in on the type set.&nbsp; Nothing wrong with just picking any seated quarter if want instead of the 4 I think it requires.&nbsp;&nbsp; Same with the different IHCs, Type 1 and 2 buffalo, etc</p><p><br /></p><p>Have fun and enjoy.&nbsp; It won&#039;t be long before you decide to triple your original budget and upgrade coins.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Not a bad idea to check the classified here too.&nbsp;&nbsp; Some guys sell stuff a really good prices and you can also list WTB(want to buy) items.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
