They will be fine, these are not high-grade coins.....there's really no "risk" or damage. 2) $30-40 I do recommend this as a starter set. It makes it a LOT easier than trying to go find individual coins....that will take YEARS to do. Not to mention most dealers don't have much to offer short of an occassional roll. It's not worth their time to mess with them, just ask any dealer. There's nothing wrong with buying them from ebay like this, I've purchased quite a few to cherrypick them. Heck, it's only $30 and he'll have them all instantly. The only problem he's going to have is that the vast majority will be subpar MS-63 or lower coins. There might be a few 64's and 65's here and there, but what do you expect for 30 bucks. LOL Building a high quality Memorial set is extremely challenging. I have 3x-4x more time invested in my Memorial set than my wheats!!!! The problems with Memorials: spotting, LDS, poor stikes and plenty of hits. Remember, most were produced in the billions so they used the dies forever and the hubs even started showing wear. If he's serious about building an HQ collection, he'll eventually end up replacing most of the coins. I've been at it HARD for years and I'm still not satisfied and...not to boast... my set is pretty much unreal at this point and it's still not perfect.[/QUOTE]
