[QUOTE="rld14, post: 516207, member: 16133"]Depends on the set... Walkers in F-15: Need to upgrade 5 or 6 coins from F-12, need a bunch of early stuff, pre-23. Mainly because they are VERY tough to find raw and the way I like them (Actually F-15, not F-15 in a PCGS VF30 holder). F Set of SLQs: Need a truly F 1916, they're usually in VF30+ holders. Need a 20-D (PITA to find) and need to pay attention and get a 26-D. Haven't even started on other sets of circ SLQs, eventually I want grading sets, and a screwball set (Every coin must be off center, die clash, struck through, RPM, cud, die crack, etc) It's been done actually. The 1916 exists broadstruck :D Lincolns: Ahh.. need many of the good ones. On the back burner Liberty Nickels: Need to upgrade a bunch of them, but it's complete. Mercury Dimes: This is a VG+ Circ set, need a 1916-D. Same problem as the others, they are all overholdered and overpriced. VG Coins in F-15 holders. Roosevelt Dimes: Got em all, that was REAL hard :D Washington Quarters: Need a few dates, nothing tough, just haven't been working on em lately. Buffalo Nickels: Haven't given it much thought, will work on it when others are done. Probably 40-50% complete. Indian Head Cents: I have a bunch but I'm reading up on them, a future goal. A fair number of the coins I need are often found grossly overgraded, and on some of these coins, there's a big spread between the grades, the 21 Walkers that I need to upgrade and the 16-D dime are great examples. I'm not paying $1,000 for a $500 coin, especially when the market is going down.
