<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ajm229, post: 62208, member: 3350&quot;]Well, jperry, it&#039;s certainly true that you should attempt to but &quot;the best grade you can afford&quot; but I feel there are exceptions to that rule. The satisfaction of completing a set is something I have just recently acquired, as I finished my Lincoln Memorial cent collection and my Jefferson Nickel collection. My view is that if you will be happy with simply finishing the set, and you don&#039;t care whether the coins are MS70 or VG-8, I would buy the best looking coin you can afford to complete the set. I&#039;ve seen coins in F-15 that (at least to me) looked more appealing then their higher-priced AU counterparts. </p><p><br /></p><p>The key to numismatics is to do what will please you with your set. If you were planning to upgrade your set in the future, or at least attempt to upgrade it as you go, I would buy the highest graded coin you would like to upgrade to. If not, and you will be happy with finishing the set without 100% MS-grade coins, then buy a coin YOU THINK LOOKS NICE. And that&#039;s all there is to it!</p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck, and happy hunting!</p><p><br /></p><p>~AJ[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
