Message:: [QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 773578, member: 19165"]As a corollary to my recent gold dollars thread, if you were going to collect WLH's, how would you do it? I'm tossing around a few different series, trying to decide which one to collect, and one of the ones I keep coming back to are the WLH's. These coins are incredibly beautiful, challenging, interesting, and achievable - all criteria for my next set. If I were to do the WLH's, however, it seems to me there are several different goals. I could do a complete set, but the early dates get very pricey. I would probably do EF coins up to a certain point, and then 65's after that. Would this look odd? The other thing I could do is just do a short set for now. Looking at the Registry, there are two different choices for short set - starting in 1934 and starting in 1941. What is the difference in challenge level between the two, and why are there two different sets that seem rather similar? What grade would you recommend for these? Is there a particular grade where there is a big jump in price to the next grade? What grades are readily available? The WLH seems a bit more popular than the Franklin (my understatement for today), so it seems like this set might actually be easier. Comments? In short, I'm looking for anything you might see as a pro or con for or against the WLH's.[/QUOTE]
