<p>[QUOTE="Kirkuleez, post: 2786236, member: 36864"]Please don't take this the wrong way, this is meant as just a suggestion and not a knock on your collection at all. It looks like you have completed all of what I would consider the easy sets. Hopefully though this process, you have learned how to spot cleaned coins, how to grade relatively well and have found a dealer or two that you know and trust. Now it's time to graduate into a little more challenging set. I've always been partial to coppers and the odd denominations, but you need to pick what you want to collect. Perhaps a nice short set of walking liberty half dollars? It's a beautiful coin, more than available in high grades at the later dates and can be completed rather easily. Might I suggest that you be very picky with what you get here; look for nice strikes, high luster, original surfaces and beyond anything else, a good deal in the coin. I would warn that once the short set is completed, you'll probably want to do the rest of the set. Some issues with this series are rather difficult if you go after high grade. The 16-s, 21-d, 21-s and 38-d are by far the most difficult, but they are attainable. It's a gorgeous and valuable set once completed; not to mention a lot of fun and a great way to learn a very popular series.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
