<p>[QUOTE=&quot;okbustchaser, post: 2217546, member: 72642&quot;]What kind of budget per coin are you looking at?&nbsp; You asked about the Numismedia prices for $1000+ coins.&nbsp; Are you looking to spend this as an average?&nbsp; If so, I, personally,&nbsp; would forget the ultra-high grade Kennedys--to the naked eye there is very little difference between a MS 67 and a 68--and apply the several hundred dollar difference in price towards buying a better early type.&nbsp; For example, getting a heraldic eagle bust in solid XF rather than the weak VF that a $1000 would buy.&nbsp; Same thing with the Franklins and Walkers--the price difference between a 67 and a 68 (even moreso, between 66 and 68) would allow you to upgrade your Flowing Hair half from a VG all the way up to a VF.&nbsp; IMO, each of these early type upgrades would hold value much better than a single point upgrade in the moderns.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know that I am probably in the minority here, but I would also stay away from modern proofs types in my set.&nbsp; To my eye they just wouldn&#039;t seem to match up with the earlier business strike coins that would make up the bulk of the set.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
