<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mark_h, post: 692278, member: 3726&quot;]Lots of good advice offered.&nbsp; My personal opinion is that with moderns your learning experiences might be cheaper. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; I do agree(to a point) with Kanga on matched sets - just look at his posts for his type sets.&nbsp; BUT if you work your way backwards you might not be able to afford(or the wife won&#039;t let you spend the money) for high grade key dates.&nbsp; In my personal opinion the set does not need to match(exactly) the grade you want.&nbsp; My IHC collection is mixed with the semi-key and key dates in the VF range and pretty much everything else MS.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Now my personal opinion on APMEX is that if you can not see the coins you are purchasing then you might have an issue.&nbsp; I once bought 3 ag large cents from them because if all three were like the one pictured they would be decent additions to my set - well 2 of the 3 were ag and the third one was just garbage. I will now no longer buy from them, unless I see the exact coin I want. </p><p><br /></p><p>PS - until you get really good at grading with pictures I would stay away from EBAY.&nbsp; There are several dealers that many of us can recommend - depending on what you collect.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
