<p>[QUOTE=&quot;camlov2, post: 1536518, member: 26479&quot;]The issue with a mixed grade set is that the coins in the lowest grade will probably bug you when you look at the set as a whole.&nbsp; If those coins are key dates and the best you can afford it probably won&#039;t bother you much, if they are lower because you wanted to save a few dollars you might decide to upgrade later.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you are comfortable with grading coins on your own (and detecting fakes) then graded coins are not a must.&nbsp; If you struggle with either of these areas then you should probably pick graded coins for at least the key dates.</p><p><br /></p><p>I collect Braided Hair cents and have purchased all raw with the exception of the key date.&nbsp; I did this so I didn&#039;t have the worry of purchasing a fake (bought online) and also the ease of resale if I ever sell my collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
