If setting out to build the entire series, why not have the most capitol into the keys as all other dates put together. That is just one collecting strategy, but it seems to be the conventional wisdom that we are taught. </p><p><br /></p><p>I wanted to step up and own an example in MS 65 but I opted to buy this one in BN and paid 3100 in 2009. Nothing against the guys that like the RED ones, God bless them for being the keepers of the pure. I seem to be drawn to a coins that have full details but have a bit of toning that separates it from all other examples. Robec actually has the best photos of this coin, but I did my best.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as Lance&#039;s coin goes, its the BOMB! What dreams are made of. At 100 years old I suppose it&#039;s color is pretty stable, and if not He gets to walk the earth with it while it is red and get the satisfaction of that while he is here. That&#039;s obviously worth the money for him and I support that. JMO</p><p><br /></p><p>Matt[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
