<p>[QUOTE="DLeach, post: 1304353, member: 33185"]I just wanted to get some advice and a general consensus for those who are or already have assembled a US type set. I am fairly new to coin collecting and am somewhat limited on the amount of funds I can put towards aseembling my type set. I have completed most of my collection thus far in VF and XF grades (unslabbed) and I am now down to the really early stuff (Draped Bust, Flowing Hair, Chain/Wreath, etc.) Needless to say, this would be really expensive to get these coins in VF and Xf grades, and I would love to buy them already slabbed. </p><p><br /></p><p>So my question for the forum is this. Should I buy higher grade "Details" slabbed coins, or lower grade problem free slabbed coins? Now I know that this is probably a personal preference thing, and that coins shouldn't be viewed as investments, but I would like to take into consideration whether one category of slabbed coins might gain or hold thier value better should something happen to me in the future and I am forced to sale. So I would just like to see what others have done who have assembled sets like this.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your thoughts?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
