<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 1487722, member: 36230"]If even considering seated material in EF minimum, you had better rethink this $200-$300 estimate for anything other than the common stuff, especially if you want quality. I often meet people who have an interest in taking this route, yet have little understanding of how tough this series - other than type coins - really is. Unless you have a rather large coin budget, are willing to go low grade, and/or are willing to make this a long-term project, LS halves or dollars is not the way to go. </p><p><br /></p><p>If condition is more important than type, you might as well go with a relatively modern series.. maybe a Walker short set or Franklin set. Someone mentioned SLQs and although great coins, they are much easier to appreciate in MS grades since the design is rather unforgiving when circulated (most below Ch AU are unattractive IMO). Not to mention, if completing a set is a goal, its not going to happen with your stated price range.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
