<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RaceBannon, post: 1193314, member: 25357&quot;]Do you want to collect for the aesthetic beauty of a well matched set, possibly in higher grades?&nbsp; </p><p>Or do you want to accumulate silver coins for their bullion melt value?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>These two goals are somewhat at odds.&nbsp; If your intent is to pursue the former, then I would recommend SLQs or Barbers.&nbsp; Putting together a nice set in either of those series, most coins will run you well above melt, even in grades as low as fine.&nbsp; But the challenge of building the set is greater.&nbsp; Many collectors derive pleasure from this aspect of the hobby.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If&nbsp; your intent is to accumulate as much silver as possible, then go with the Washington Quajters or Roosevelt Dimes.&nbsp; In lower grades your getting many of those coins very close to melt prices, and you can still fill a lot of holes in an album. You&#039;ll pay a premium for the keys, but I would guess you can probably fill 80% or better of the albums for both those series at close to melt especially in circulated grades.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
