[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 4001371, member: 19165"]A lot of your recent threads seem to propose ultimatums: this or that! It isn't quite so clear.... I have some sets where there will only be UNC coins.... one of these sets has a minimum of 64. I have some sets where the grade range is strictly EF. It's 40, or 45, or it isn't in my set. I have a set where it's a bit looser - 20 - 50 is cool. The key point here is: decide what you want for the set you are building. I personally prefer to build a set where everything is well matched. For some sets, that's UNC, for some sets, that's not. There is no hard-and-fast rule, and there shouldn't be. The Dale Friend collection of Bust Halves in 65-66 is incredibly impressive - but so is a thoughtfully assembled set of halves in 40. Buy what you like! I keep repeating this in all of your threads! Maybe you are trying to figure out what you like? Either way, only you can decide what you want to collect. High grade is cool, circulated is cool. Focus on original, eye appealing examples in whichever grade you select for the set, and you'll build something people will appreciate![/QUOTE]
