<p>[QUOTE=&quot;treylxapi47, post: 1899472, member: 41863&quot;]Type collecting Is my main focus lately. I can buy high grade coins for half the price of the traditional key coins. Usually they are double the grade too. For instance a 1909 S VDB, in VF 20 costs about $800-$1000 coin. I can buy common date seated quarters in or near mint state for about $400-$500. </p><p><br /></p><p>Type collecting also sort of keeps you interested if you don&#039;t have big bucks to spend on multiple $1000+ coins in a given set, especially if you are building the bulk of your series in AU/MS and have to then purchase a $1500 VG just to fill that blasted hole. </p><p><br /></p><p>I do agree that short sets are a viable option for the hybrid collector who likes sets but like you said can&#039;t afford to complete some of the better sets. </p><p><br /></p><p>My short set contribution is proof shield nickels. Generally you can find PF-63s for $350 or so with just a couple pricey ones if I remember correctly. It&#039;s a double short set though with about 30 coins. Moderately obtainable though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
