[QUOTE="kanga, post: 3165812, member: 9270"]When I collect my intent is to get coins in grades that will give a viewer the idea of what the Mint had in mind when they struck them. Consider something like this: -- one high grade (MS-65) coin, most likely from the 1940's. -- complete the 1940's with XF/AU coins. -- complete the 1930's with VF/XF coins. -- complete the 1920's with F/VF coins (the 1921 coins and the 1926-S may have to be lower grades). -- complete the 1910's with VF coins (the 1916-D may have to remain a hole). Skip the overdate errors. It will take you longer to complete your set but I bet you'll be much happier with the end results.[/QUOTE]
