<p>[QUOTE="mac266, post: 2187338, member: 26371"]I have always read at least one book on a coin series before pursuing a set (I like to pursue date / mint mark sets of business strikes). However, I'm deployed overseas right now for the military. So instead of taking advantage of my Amazon Prime and waiting for the painfully slow mail service, I was hoping for a few quick pointers on the series. I've seen a few already, but reading a book is something I'm going to do when I get home, not now.</p><p> </p><p>However, the more experience I get in the hobby (30 years now!), the more I realize that some series are just not conducive to collecting an entire business strike date / mint mark set. I've also been able to buy fewer, nicer coins instead of everything I can get my hands on like I did as a kid. So, I may just save those pennies...ahem...cents, and buy the 1877 and call it a day.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
