Message:: [QUOTE="MaestroPCG, post: 144326, member: 5985"]Mike...thanks for the very specific response.  I agree with your assesment of difficult finds...I think the most difficult coin on my first type set was the Classic Head (1808-1814) Large Cent.  I had a really tough time finding a decent one that I could afford.  I was lucky to find a nice Trade Dollar early on for a VERY good price - $75 at the time (2003), but would be $200+ now. Also, collecting a type set by semi-key and key dates is a very cool idea.  Obviously, a much more expensive way to go about it, but it will make a nice finished set to be proud of. Mikjo...thanks for the pics.  I love seeing the pictures that you guys post on here, and would enjoy an opportunity to see some of these collections first hand.  That's one of the reasons I posted about friends in the hobby...wouldn't it be cool to be able to show off your stuff to people who are actually interested? I have the gold page in one of my Dansco albums, but only four coins in there.  One of them is a Saint, though...I'm really proud of that one. pCG[/QUOTE]
