[QUOTE="ddddd, post: 3496632, member: 22377"]I'm not currently working on any graded sets, so the upgrade option has not been something to think about lately. When I had a Proof Franklin collection, I started with generic coins and eventually upgraded to Cameo/DCAM examples as I delved deeper into the series. I do have a raw Dansco Type Set and I have upgraded some coins there. The process is simple: if I find a more eye-appealing coin at a reasonable price (to me) and I'm not yet fully satisfied with the current example, then I will upgrade. In general, I agree with [USER=78244]@TypeCoin971793[/USER] that finding the right coin the first time around is often the most economical method.
