<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rono, post: 1360468, member: 6492&quot;]Hi qt,</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve been watching the semi-keys in silver and gold, as with the skyrocketing bullion prices, the spread has narrowed between plain vanilla and semi-key.&nbsp;&nbsp; I haven&#039;t done anything here, but quite honestly, I&#039;ve never collected these series.&nbsp;&nbsp; However,&nbsp; once I got back into more active collecting, I started by reading a lot of Travers and Bowers, and then hitting the semi and key coins in my series.&nbsp; I also am still working on some of my other series - mercs, wash quarters, and walkers.&nbsp; This has made it easier to go ahead and grab a nice priced 1932-S in MS64.&nbsp; And I really do have a special itch for CC stuff.&nbsp; This led to a couple of morgans -a 84-CC MS64 DMPL and an 85 MS65.&nbsp; Pretty much buying everything PCGS.</p><p><br /></p><p>With earlier series, I&#039;m pretty much sticking with AU as my target grade.&nbsp;&nbsp; This means I can buy raw stuff more often in the more common coins and feel more confident about my grading skills.&nbsp;&nbsp; It also helps to buy coins I&#039;m familiar with.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been collecting cents and nickels for so long I&#039;m always cherrying picking for particularly strong strike coins.&nbsp; I&#039;d rather check an AU liberty nickel for the strength of the stars than have to worry if it&#039;s a BU and been doctored.&nbsp; Trying to buy raw BU coins is hard work and a lot riskier.</p><p><br /></p><p>It sounds like you&#039;re doing Morgans.&nbsp; Man, that&#039;s a job.&nbsp; What a glorious series, however.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck,</p><p><br /></p><p>peace,</p><p><br /></p><p>rono[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
