[QUOTE="geekpryde, post: 4128002, member: 36248"]In many cases, I actually prefer the worn coins. I like the look some of them have, and the history. Sounds crazy, right? I'm still choosy when it comes to the coins, even worn cheaper coins, and while some people would say a single $500 coin is better than 5 x $100 coins, I actually practice the opposite. I do totally agree that its a smart method, and you will get some very special coins using that method (instead of a bunch of coins you feel so-so about). However, in a lot of coin series, the next grade might cost 2 or 3 times a much. I think a great coin in grade or two before the prices start getting nutty is better for me to maximize the value. For instance, for a type set, MS66 Buffalo nickels are gorgeous and affordable for many dates, whereas the MS67 prices jump through the roof. Well, for my type set I sold a MS67 I cherry picked to a dealer that used to be on this site a lot. I used the money from that coin to roll into several nice $250 coins for my Type set. yeah, the MS67 had amazing booming luster, but it didnt make sense to me to put a $1,000 coin next to great $50, $100, $200 coins. I was happy to have a MS66 Buffalo and like 4 more Types. I guess my point is, no matter what your budget, try to be choosy and know that there are several valid methods to pursuing your goal. Good luck and happy pursuit on your Type set. Type sets are by far my favorite way to collect coins.[/QUOTE]
