<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 1573792, member: 36230"]Cost or having to settle on low end material. If you can do without the 18/7-S and 16 (or wish to search/wait for a dateless example of the latter) and can live with low grade coins, the set is doable, but still pricey for what you end up with... a bunch of unattractive coins. IMO, this is a type that - because of the design - rarely looks good in grades below upper AU. If you want to shoot for a nice, Ch AU+ set, even without the two aforementioned issues, get ready to place some serious cash on the table. Either way, it is not a set for the faint of heart, and definitely not one I would advise for someone just starting out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
