[QUOTE="mlov43, post: 3751904, member: 16729"]It depends on the series. And how rich you are. With some world coins, you can get both common and rare in high grades; e.g. Contemporary Japan (1949-present) on a mediocre budget. You just might have to wait a while for your budget to catch up and for the coins to come along. With other series, you can only get commons in high grade and settle for lower grades for rare ones. With my South Korea main year-set collection, I am aiming for a "minimum grade" that is STILL possible within my budget. With copper-nickel coins (50-Won, 100-Won, 500-Won) MS-65 and higher is good. For copper (1-Won, 5-Won, 10-Won), I try to get MS-64 and higher. For the few proof commemoratives I pick to fill out my Dansco, I won't accept anything lower than PF-67. These parameters are feasible for the South Korea series (considering my budget). I would suggest that others make such a calculation with their own series.[/QUOTE]
