[QUOTE="mikenoodle, post: 1338714, member: 307"]or... you could assemble a set that is in slabs and graded. I recently embarked on an adventure to assemble a 1962 US Proof Set in Ultra Cameo. Sounds like it'd be pretty doable and fun, but the problem is that I can't find the coins! It took me 2 years of searching to find my cent which I recently bought on teletrade. I am still looking for the nickel and with less than 100 of them on the planet, it may be another 2 years before I find one. But truthfully, the hunt has been fun and as entertaining as the coins. I recommend to anyone who is trying to assemble a set of something to think outside of the box and try for something a bit more challenging and unusual. You may never be able to complete it, but and I never thought I'd say this: It's more fun to not be able to find the coins easily than to be able to find them in a week on eBay.[/QUOTE]
