<p>[QUOTE="MrOrange1970, post: 2633471, member: 80547"]I agree with the previous posts. I am very slowly building a 19th century type set and used this site to get a checklist. What's nice about these lists is that you can pick a list according to the total amount you'd like to spend. The costs could also be lower as these lists are all VF and above. I'm going level 2 which is 18th century only, no gold and no proofs. I'm going with the highest grade I can afford and not collecting key dates (the 1877 Indian Head cent alone would blow my budget in VF).</p><p>As [USER=1892]@SuperDave[/USER] has mentioned, research is imperative to getting value out of your purchases.
