Message:: [QUOTE="Long Beard, post: 4022565, member: 108674"]You and I are much alike with a few minor difference. While I have nothing against graded coins, the whole "top pop"/ registry challenge just does not interest me in the least. Sure these are very nice to look at, but in my eyes an extra-fine with sharp detail and original surface color is just as pleasing and enjoyable to own. Add to this that the money saved goes towards three or four others at the same price as a single MS66. But yes, I have slabbed coins in my collection. Where we differ is that I generally start a series a see it through to completion, minus varieties (although I have several bought unintentional). As a series rolls along the key dates tend to slow me down so I'll start another. As an example, I'm four years into the Seated Liberty dimes with 52 remaining. As these are becoming tough to find I've began the Walking Liberty half series at the first of the month. These are going to run progressively from fine to mint state, beginning of the series to the end like wise making for a very consistent set. Back to your post, great selections. Beautiful. Keep them going.[/QUOTE]
