<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Speedie, post: 1295154, member: 28064&quot;]Thanks for the input guys. Definitely not jumping head first into this hence the initial questions. I&#039;d plan on buying 1 or maybe 2 of the coins each year and researching the heck out of that particular coin before even looking for available examples. That&#039;s what I&#039;m looking for: a challenging set that requires a lot of study and patience on my part. The sets that I&#039;ve completed are wonderful sets, and I wouldn&#039;t trade the ASEs in particular for anything, but they weren&#039;t that challenging except for 3 or 4 of the more difficult kennedy halves. With the gold set pretty much every coin would be a challenge, would be different from the prior coin, and would require learning a lot of new information.</p><p><br /></p><p>So far I&#039;ve read a lot in various forums. CU was particularly enlightening as someone had almost the same questions as me last year and received a wealth of useful input. That was where the idea of starting with the earlier, low denomination coins came from since I&#039;m on the fence about where the POG is going from current levels.</p><p><br /></p><p>Selling the ATB sets would give me enough money for 2 or maybe even 3 of the earlier coins, but I&#039;d look to stretch those purchases out over 1-2 years while I learn. I&#039;d consider starting with the Type 3 $1 as it&#039;s about the cheapest in the set, so a mistake wouldn&#039;t hurt too much. Also there are enough years and mint marks of that coin that on its own it would require much research. A thought that has occurred to me is to buy a common date Type 3 $1 in both e.g. XF 40 and MS 63/4 as a way of getting hands-on with grades without risking a lot.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
