<p>[QUOTE="joesmom, post: 34154, member: 934"]Hi all! As some of you may remember, I've recently chosen to pursue a type set. This is going to be a fun yet daunting endeavor, but one that I am quite excited about. What I've been doing is picking 2 or 3 items at a time and studying up on them before I make my purchases. Anyone can just walk into a shop or show and buy coins to fill holes...but what I'm striving for is something that I can put as much of my personal interest into as possible, while still making some smart picks. For example, I'm currently picking what commemorative halves to include. I've chosen the TX Centennial (for obvious reasons), WI Centennial (that is where I grew up), the Stone Mountain (Joe was born in Atlanta) and the Statue of Lib (my husbands family came here from Poland through Ellis Island). </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>My question is this...Where do I learn how to accurately grade these pieces? With some of them carrying a price tag that will make my hubby flinch, I'd like to make sure that I get what I'm paying for. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
