<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikenoodle, post: 485418, member: 307&quot;]my suggestion would be this. There are certain dates for which FS coins are unknown. Instead of collecting coins that have already been graded FS, why don&#039;t you start searching uncirculated nickels for FS coins of those dates. </p><p><br /></p><p>The reasoning is two-fold: Whenever I decide to start a series, if I want to build a nice, matching grade set then I have to buy the keys in the best condition I can find, and match the rest of the set to them. Since some aren&#039;t even available, when you find the ones that don&#039;t exist yet, you will know what grade to match the rest of them to.</p><p><br /></p><p>The second part of the reasoning is that maybe by learning what to look for in a coin that will grade FS, that you may decide that it is easier and a whole lot less expensive to assemble your set from raw coins and save yourself a ton of money. It is the rare coin that is undiscovered that is truly a bargain at it&#039;s price. It only becomes expensive after someone knows what it is.</p><p><br /></p><p>just my 2¢,</p><p><br /></p><p>mikenoodle[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
