[QUOTE="Rono, post: 1359332, member: 6492"]Howdy good people, I'm to the point in my collecting that I want to complete a set or 12, AND invest in something that will hold its value for the heirs. I've been buying semi-key slabs for a few years to augment my base collection. In the cents, my indians are only missing the '71 and '69 overdate and they're all AU ('77 is AU-55 PCGS). That said, I've got all the lincolns less the 09sVDB and the 14-d. Lastly, I've completed the Liberty Nickels but only the late issues and keys are AU (includes slabbed AU '85 & '86). For about a grand, I can upgrade the remainder to AU. The buffs are complete less the 3leg but could be upgraded. I've been watching the SVDBs for a while and it appears that the MS64 RB is the sweetspot IFF you can get a good coin. The 14d is a nasty little beggar in any of the higher grades. Lastly, I am part way through completing a CC mint type set that I'd like to finish. Let's say you've got 5K or so to spend total and want to do some very selective purchasing with the above in mind. thanks much, rono[/QUOTE]
