[QUOTE="clembo, post: 331795, member: 8033"]Unless you're really collecting common stuff the hunt is a huge part of the game. When I decided to complete the 2 Cent business strike set it took me several months to find an 1872 that was decent for the grade G-VG and would fit my budget at the time. Tough coin in any grade and finally got one from a dealer in New York. Funny thing was that I went to a VERY small show a week later and I'll be darned if there wasn't a decent, original G4 1872 there. I bought it. Looked for months then bought two within a week. Now I'm working on the "attainable" 4 coin 20 Cent set. Have the 75, 75-S and 1876 but getting a decent VF or better 75-CC for under $600 is going to be VERY challenging. They just keep going up, while the quality offered goes down. Happy hunting folks![/QUOTE]
