<p>[QUOTE="Bluegill, post: 48195, member: 1748"]I just bought a 1987 mint set on ebay, my first coin purchase online (and only my second from ebay ever.) $8.25 plus shipping. I've been looking for 1987 halves, but I figured, why not get the whole set? Now I'm suffering buyer's remorse--I really just wanted to fill the year gaps in my circulated kennedy halves collection, but these coins aren't circulated, and I'm not sure I'd want to break them out of the mint cellophane, though I could move <i>all</i> of my halves to 2x2s from the little Whitman folders...hmmm. Should I keep the mint sets in the mint cellophane? I guess I have the rest of my life to decide. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>And I also stopped at a coin store on the way home from work and bought an AU 1893 Columbian Expo half. I'm really not big on commems, but I read <i>The Devil In The White City</i> by Eric Larson recently, and it made me want to own a little piece of that history.
