<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paul_62, post: 1601007, member: 41669&quot;]John</p><p>I tend to agree with gbroke about the mint sets, I bought quite a few just for the Kennedys or the Ikes. Proof sets too. I also just went through a whole thing with others in the other forum about albums and keeping my coins in binders, for the time being that&#039;s where I&#039;ll be keeping my collection. As I said there, I&#039;m about 5 or 6 short of a full set, mostly the recent silver proofs which seem to be a little more pricey.</p><p><br /></p><p>With grading, I was reading another thread about books and agree with the conclusion that grading skill comes with the experience of looking at a lot of coins. It makes sense to buy a few slab coins for a baseline reference and keep them that way. The few slabbed Kennedys I cracked out were PCI and ACCGS. I&#039;m keeping my PCGS and NGC slabs. And then if I buy mint sets I can be fairly confident that I&#039;m getting an uncirculated coin. Giving them a grade beyond that is something one day I hope to be able to do but not yet. I&#039;ll just keep at it...</p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck with your collection</p><p>-Paul[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
