<p>[QUOTE="Tom B, post: 2151896, member: 11854"]I love silver WQs, but your minimum grade is too high at MS65+ simply because the 1932-D is going to swamp the value of the set. Only two of these have been graded MS65+ and the last sold for $41k at auction and there are only two MS66 pieces and the last sold for $143k at auction. You would have to stay at MS65 or lower for the minimum unless your funds, and patience, are near limitless.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also agree with PCGS for the series since they generally have much more market liquidity and PCGS, in my opinion, grades this series more consistently (on average) and perhaps a half-point tighter in the MS grades than NGC. However, keeping them all in one generation slab would be problematic, at best, and foolish, at worst. It would be foolish to pass a spectacular coin at a fair price simply because the generation holder did not meet what you chose. Of course, you might always reholder or regrade your coins once you acquire them and this will assure you of having them all in the same holder. Instead of requiring the same holder, have you thought of having your coins imaged and then placing them in a virtual album or virtual holder so that they all have a consistent presentation?</p><p><br /></p><p>I love this series and you will need dedication, deep pockets, discipline and lots of luck to complete a fabulous set.
