<p>[QUOTE=&quot;samclemens3991, post: 25241928, member: 82181&quot;]Last night I won the last coin I needed to complete a set I started</p><p>In the Spring of 2022.&nbsp; The plan was simple, get 1 coin from each decade.</p><p>I ended up with the following:</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 1838-O&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Fine 12</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 1840-O&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Vf-20</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 1853&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; XF-40</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 1860&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; AU-50</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 1873NA&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; AU-53</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 1886-S&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; AU-55</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 1891-O&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; AU-58</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I have spent several months thinking where I might go next.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are 3 options I am considering.</p><p>1.&nbsp; Add&nbsp; 6 coins.&nbsp; 3 coins with the Wreath Reverse and 3 with the Cereal Reverse.&nbsp; The coins I ended up with feature lower grades on the Wreath coins and higher grades on the Cereal reverse coins.</p><p>I guess I could focus on more common date coins for the Wreath coins and more rare dates for the Cereal coins.</p><p>2.&nbsp; Just do some opposite mints.&nbsp; That would also mean 6 coins but I would add a 30&#039;s Philly,&nbsp; 40&#039;s Philly, 50&#039;s O-mint or S mint, 60&#039;s S-mint, 70&#039;s S or CC mint, 80&#039;s Philly mint, 90&#039;s Philly or S mint.</p><p>3.&nbsp; By accident I ended up with 6 different but increasing steps in grade.&nbsp; I could just fill in some of the other grades and turn it into a grading set.&nbsp; At this point I guess I would look at adding F-15, VF 30/35, XF-45, and 1 or more mint state coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would be curious what other collectors think of these options or if you see an approach I haven&#039;t considered.&nbsp; James[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
