Message:: [QUOTE="Aksully, post: 4652084, member: 113152"]Due to age and health issues I decided to sell off my collection which I've almost done. But after seeing this thread I decided I'd like to try this. So given my situation I'm going to do this on a budget and not worry about getting a pristine coin. Now if I was in my 20's-40's I'd be buying these coins in the higher grades. I have a lot of the 20th century coins already that I hadn't sold. Probably the coin I'll pay the most for is a Trade Dollar. Otherwise I'll be okay with lower grades. Especially given the costs at today's prices. The album I bought on ebay and awaiting has a gold page. I actually have all of them but they are encapsulated graded that I won't break out. Otherwise I think this will be a fun and educational effort to keep me engaged over the next several months. Especially since I just completed a birthday type set collecting all the coins minted in the '52 years. The toughest coin to find and acquire was the 1852 Liberty Head $10 Gold Eagle. I finally found one in AU50 and it wasn't cheap. Again I should have started this years ago!!! Anyhow really appreciate Bradgator starting this thread and the fun I've had reading about his "journey" with this Type Set. Thanks so much for doing it!  <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
