<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 891211, member: 13650&quot;]Very well said.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been gathering a small hoard of coins in combination with what I already owned, getting ready to start filling my Intercept Shield US type set.&nbsp; &nbsp; physics-fan has basically spelled out the way I look at it.&nbsp; Although I will do a mixed grade set, I would rather have the sharpest, best quality coin, with as much luster as possible, instead of the key date.&nbsp;&nbsp; I figure, the whole point of the type set is to showcase the details of what that series looked like, in one coin.&nbsp;&nbsp; A heavily worn key date does not accomplish that.&nbsp; &nbsp; Now granted, I&#039;m not going to be able to do that for Capped busts.&nbsp; But even if every type set collector was independently wealthy, there wouldn&#039;t be enough pristine examples to go around anyway.&nbsp; So I think it&#039;s understandable to have a mixed grade set if you want one.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I&#039;m curious what people do for moderns?&nbsp; The IS album has slots for 2009 and 2010 Lincolns.&nbsp; &nbsp; VF-EFs won&#039;t exist for a while.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
