[QUOTE="tmoneyeagles, post: 599007, member: 17557"]Well, welcome to cointalk :) Sounds like you want to start a type set :) Well, yes I'd use numismedia as a reference as to retail values of coins, and also use ebay's completed listings, just to see what coins, are fetching for These type sets are very fun, and try to put together the best one you can! :) Now if you are buying graded coins, and starting a graded type set in MS60 or better, I recommend buying from one of the top grading companies, and PCGS and NGC are highly recommended. Beware of cleaned coins, and fake coins, when putting together this set, as coins like the trade dollar, are highly counterfeited. I don't know where a good thread for cleaned coins is on here, but I recently wrote one for counterfeits.
