<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jeankay, post: 394901, member: 12159&quot;]Hi, we meet again.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I buy high end coins if that is what I need for a particular collection. </p><p>As example, my Lincoln wheat cent collection covers 1906 through1958.</p><p>The coins from 1934 on are uncirculated and proofs if need be.</p><p>On the other hand, the first section 1909 through 1933/34 is a lower-end collection because I know I cannot afford to fill it consistently with very expensive uncirculated coins.</p><p>My standard for the earlier coins has to be different. For the most part I get VF-EX-AU, and all in brown. I think the early wheat pages make a better impression when the grades and colors are similar. </p><p>This idea is working rather nicely for my Mercury dimes and Buffalo nickels too.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Just sit back, do research about the coins you would like to collect and determine whether or not you will be able to afford the coins in the grade and condition you prefer. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>When my grand daughter is helping me go through coins she now realizes that the shiniest coin is not always the best coin to obtain. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>hope this helps a little bit.</p><p>jeankay[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
