<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NoogaNumismaticNerd, post: 6375729, member: 118191&quot;]Since I was little little I&#039;ve always loved collecting coins. I&#039;ve got whitman books that my grandfather gave me 20 years ago that he got back in the 60&#039;s-70&#039;s. The real fascination with coin collecting came when my daughter was born and I was trying to figure something out that I could work on and leave to her years and years from now when I&#039;m gone. Since then I have gotten whitman books of all shapes and sizes, some are just the little flip books where ya pop the coins in and boom it&#039;s done. While others are the &quot;better&quot; whitman books with the pages and sliding covers on the fronts and backs. We also picked up a typeset book with a slip case about 5 years ago (no gold pages tho, I wish I could afford to stack gold but unfortunately I can&#039;t so I stick to silver and oldies) and it&#039;s has been a slow but rewarding process to find beautiful examples of coins for the type set, I&#039;m not sticking just any random &quot;junk&quot; in there. I want it to be a immaculate set when and if we get done with it.. well to the point of this topic I guess lol. After completing my jefferson book,and almost completing my lincoln cent ( almost being the key word there lol some of the key dates cost a small fortune,so those holes will be empty for a while) I asked my daughter about starting a nice mint state registry set and she said we should go for the lincoln cents to begin with and work from there.. so I got on great collections and started bidding on a few pieces. We aren&#039;t gonna go for the MS 67-MS 68 top end break the bank coins but we figured MS 65 is a nice middle ground without going to the low end of the scale but also staying away from the expensive side of the MS scale..so out of the 10 coins I was bidding on I only won 1 of them (lol) but hey it&#039;s a start and the 43 steel seems like a good starting point. I should have read just a little deeper tho and wish I had realized this was an ANACS coin.. I want to stick with PCGS or NGC for our registry set,so I will be looking to also get this one in a different holder.. the question and the whole point of this small letter I guess is besides great collection, where else is a decent reputable seller of graded coins besides eBay?[ATTACH=full]1252408[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1252409[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
