<p>[QUOTE=&quot;treylxapi47, post: 1774487, member: 41863&quot;]Ive entered the more serious collecting stage over the past year to 2 years. I started out buying up bullion and just having &#039;silver&#039; I then sold off all the stuff that I had extras of or didnt see much value in and redirected my funds towards actual numismaticaly based coins, but still mainly buying up silver (and small gold) just in the form of classic coins and AU/BU grades. I am actually right up your alley as far as buying coins goes. I too am after those tougher date coins, but not in some of the harder series. I am interested in those affordable coins that you can obtain in high grades and are still considered keys/semi-keys.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Coins like these:</p><p>1921 Peace Dollars</p><p>1928 Peace Dollars</p><p>1927 and 27-S Peace Dollars</p><p>1931-S Wheat Cents</p><p>Any Seated Dollars in XF condition around the $300 mark</p><p>Seated Halves in high XF/AU condition ~$200</p><p>Older Proofs under $500</p><p>1932-D&amp;S Quarters</p><p>Early Washingtons in Mint State (34-D, 36-D, 36-S, 37-S, etc)</p><p>AU/BU SLQs</p><p>Any high XF/AU Barber quarters and halves</p><p>Capped bust halves in high XF or better condition, always looking for nice striking on E PLURIBUS UNUM</p><p>BU War Nickels</p><p>Shield Nickels with Rays</p><p>1853 Arrows and Rays halves in quarters (really like these in high XF or better, but will buy down to VF for the right price)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Other than that I buy for my type set, to finish up albums, and to stack some silver from time to time (most of my stacking is now done through government bullion and filling albums, ASEs, Libertads, and Maple Leaves)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I also pick up any foreign silver or small foreign gold coins as close to spot prices as possible.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The only other thing I dont think ive mentioned is gambling on toned coins. I love toned coins but refuse to pay the premiums so I keep my eyes open for good BINs that pop up and try to snag those.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Im one of those collectors that would rather have one of everything then to have so many duplicates of the same coin that i dont end up with much variety, and it keeps me energized about coins by constantly going after new and different things.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I do often consider slowing down though, but then I also think about how I am entering the married years and the age of children and would rather spend this frivolous money while i can then to ever cause a future child of mine to suffer in any way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
