<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NetJohn, post: 671359, member: 16715&quot;]Not to sound like I disagree, but your situation is exactly why I have changed how I collect coins.&nbsp; I used to get the commons, then got stuck when it came to get the key coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, when I decide to start a collection, I get the key/lowest mintage coins as soon as I can.&nbsp; The first Barber half I bought was the 1914.&nbsp; In fact, I created a few webpages that list coins by mintage for each series.&nbsp; I attempt to start at the top and work my way down.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.teamsaber.com/john/coins/barberhalf.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.teamsaber.com/john/coins/barberhalf.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.teamsaber.com/john/coins/barberhalf.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I started with the 1914, then worked down as best I could.&nbsp; Sometimes I couldn&#039;t find one but the one below it, so I bought that.&nbsp; For example, I don&#039;t have the 92-O, but do have the next few beneath it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Besides, I&#039;ve found that the lowest-mintage coins often increase in value the fastest.</p><p><br /></p><p>John[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
