<p>[QUOTE="Tallpaul000, post: 419329, member: 204"]An attractive set to me is one that is evenly matched (luster, marks, strike and toning). You cant do that with a lot of series, but you can with peace dollars, however there is a catch. The 1928 is the stumper in circulated grades, even a VG will cost several hundred dollars, but the rest of the series you can pick up for 30 dollars or so each in circulated condition. When you get to high AU to choice uncirculated, the 34-S is the stumper (1500-3000$). MS64 and above gets strange as rest of the S mints start to approach the cost or a lot more (in MS65) than the 34-S. One thing you will find out is that most of the S mint coins have lousy strikes. I would also look for a decent mint bloom luster, especially noted above Liberties forehead and all around the eagle. Youll find some the the P mints have a flat or satin luster, especially the 34 or 35. A lustrous peace set is really beautiful to look at, I do like this series.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as displaying, I have all mine in intercept shield (except my circs, which is in an older classic whitman). I have a few in slabs I will not break out, but I have yet to figure out how to present them. If you find a way, let me know.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck and enjoy the chase.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
