<p>[QUOTE="dimeguy, post: 1081366, member: 19855"]First, thanks to all for the suggestions! Thanks again to those who took my interests in mind. As for the Barber Dimes...that coin is beautiful to me! I love the look of that coin! However, like the Walking Liberty Halves, I just can't afford the grade I like in that coin...it'll have to wait until I graduate grad school. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Now, of the three I'm considering, here is my question:</p><p> </p><p>I am recieving the vibe that many think the Lincoln series isn't worth the expense, or maybe is too expensive. I will openly admit I will not be able to afford the '09 VDB S or the '14 D. However, I don't plan on buying slabbed and I understand some of the earlier coins will not be BU. I'm perfectly fine to settle within my budget for those earlier years. I know Redbook isn't a reliable value guide, but if I compare the cost of some early cents in relation to others, I think I would be able to afford a good number of them, even if in f or vf condition. Again, this would work to building a nicely colored set of copper cents. Thoughts and opinions are welcomed on this matter. </p><p> </p><p>Texmech brought this little idea into my head: why not all 3? I can primarily focus on the cents, buying one or two Morgans with my monthly coin shop venture and collect the National Parks/SQ on a yearly basis (starting with '99 and '10 and get each year every time the Parks come out.) At the end of the series, I should have the cents almost done (or so I hope) have a good start on the Morgans, and can go to the early Washingtons. So, what to spend the extra coin show money on? Some intro cents and if I'm really thrifty/lucky the Park Quarters and 1999 SQ. Yeah...sounds like a plan.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
