<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bg1856, post: 656862, member: 19879&quot;]After a tremendous amount of time learning and reading about various aspects of coin collecting, I took my first step into what I hope to be a long and slow marathon approach to my eventual collection.&nbsp; I focused hard on what I would like to complete and yet be obtainable for a first timer.&nbsp; I came to the conclusion that as opposed to collecting coins for the shear numbers of them, I would take the approach of lesser coins with higher quality from a series that I liked.&nbsp; Eventually, I settled upon the 2.5 Indian Quarter Eagles in mostly MS64&amp;65&#039;s except for the 2 keys.&nbsp; After searching long and hard for the 1st example of this set, I found a 1925-D NGC MS65 that had great luster eye appeal, very distinct mint mark, and strike.&nbsp; Although this coin is quite common by date, it becomes scarce at at gem and higher with only 40 NGC finer.&nbsp; Best part about it.......I got it for 8% back of bid, according to the most recent graysheet.&nbsp; This forum provides alot of good info for the novice and the research does payoff.&nbsp; I&#039;ll post pics when I learn how to photo a coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
