[QUOTE="ratio411, post: 1182842, member: 26729"]Start with the Jeffs. Other than the war dates, they are not affected by the price of silver. Silver will go down, sooner or later, and it will take you a while to do a nice Jeff set. Then you can work on the silver dimes. Clad dimes you can do also. I am not saying silver dimes are a bad thing, but just making a suggestion to wait out the high prices. Another thing I notice, having worked on both sets, is the nickels in BU are GORGEOUS! They tone a bit different than silver, and the colors seem to pop a bit more on BU nickels. I am very close to finishing both sets, and hands down, I enjoy admiring the nickels far more than the dimes. Your 38 D/S, 39 D/S, 50 D, and 42 D are the ones that will set you back some bux, not to mention the war years. (This is assuming you are doing a hand picked set of BUs with excellent eye appeal... Circs are easy cheezy.) Words just don't describe a page full of red, green, and blue transluscent BU nickels in a Dansco. :drool:[/QUOTE]
