<p>[QUOTE=&quot;moneycostingmemoney, post: 2876801, member: 86367&quot;]I like your scope of new coins for starting a US set. I’d get all 3 steelies, can be found on the bay in unc for $2-3. To fill the modern starter finds in Id pick up a silver bicentennial quarter (I got one on the bay pcgs MS67 for about $12), an ike variety piece, SBA wide rim and a couple low pop silver proofs that can be had slabbed on the bay $20-30.</p><p><br /></p><p>I found while building my collection that as I got into a coin I wanted to get one of every style. My firsts were Lincoln Cents and once I had a few big boy finds I ended up getting one each of the (obtainable) flying eagle Cents. Then I went onto Jefferson nickels which are fun and the most affordable coin to collect (besides franklin haves). They led me into the buffalos, Vs and shield nickels which are fun to find as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>Once you start looking back into the 1800s check out the 2 and 3 cent pieces. They can get expensive for some varieties, but nice examples of common dates can be had close to the budget benchmark you set with the coins you mentioned. </p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck and most of all have fun building the collection up and be sure to share your finds on here. I’ll be looking forward to seeing them![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
