<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1867101, member: 19463&quot;]What I suggest to beginners is more like a US Type Set except I do not suggest letting it bother you that you do not have a Chain Cent.&nbsp; I own exactly one half dime.&nbsp; If I bought another, it would be a Bust type rather than another seated because I&#039;m not into half dimes enough to care about mintmarks or arrows.&nbsp; After you have collected a while, you will know whether you want a hundred variations on one type or not.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I agree with Ides&#039; statement on quality.&nbsp; The two of us made opposite decisions.&nbsp; I could sell my entire collection and buy one or two of his coins - maybe ten, even.&nbsp; The founder of Google collects ancients.&nbsp; He could buy my numbers with Ides&#039; quality.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Good luck, and don&#039;t hesitate to ask a lot of questions.&quot;&nbsp; Good advice from Ides![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
