[QUOTE="Cazkaboom, post: 1657171, member: 33215"]Depending on your taste, there are a few routes you can chose. You can go with the Junk silver route and get a very nice matching condition set after you can afford yourself the big 'uns such as the 16-D and 42/1 and 42/41-D. I have my collection started from junk stuff and I really think that if I did a MS set from 1940 and XF-AU between 1916-1939, I wouldn't have as much of a problem with my collection as I do now. I am slowly but surely upgrading my collection there and have yet to buy any of the key dates. Some have started their collections by buying the key dates first, making the rest of the collection a slide down easy street. If I could, I would have chosen that method. And a bunch of people would suggest as I would too: Read Read Read! Not only does this make you know more in the series, but you learn the basics such as grading, counterfeit detection, and you can appreciate the coin much more. Grab a book or two on the series before you do any substantial purchasing so you know what you're looking for. And most of all, enjoy the collecting.[/QUOTE]
