I pulled from my collection for a number of coins, and the coins I bought in addition at an average grade of VF-30 cost me $4500 (without the gold). Report this Post to the Staff
TimJing Valued Member United States 346 Posts	Posted 06/09/2007 8:24 pm I started my first day of work today, hopefully with a paycheck I'll be able to work on my 7070 some more. I'll post some pics of what I have so far once I get new batteries for my camera. Report this Post to the Staff
Nelrak Pillar of the Community United States 974 Posts	Posted 06/09/2007 10:55 pm I started my 7070 (no gold) this past February. Picking a minimum grade is the first thing you should do. I chose VF/XF to start with but have since moved it to AU. So far I have 59 coins of the 73. 36 of those I have paid less than $100 for. The cheapest coins and easiest one to do is purchase the Proof Bicentinnal set and crack them out of the holders...that will fill 3 holes for about $15 - $20 and they sure look pretty! I put proofs in some of my spots where I can. For example I put a 1952 Proof Lincoln in my " Lincoln Wheat cent 1909-1958 Bronze" hole due to it having a mintage of just 81,980 and a price tag of just $37.50! Alot of shops will let you do a 3 month lay away so that elusive or more expensive coin doesn't slip a way. Some items in VF/XF will be pricy like the 1/2 and large cents and Seated $1s...that's where layaway would come in handy if you can find a shop willing to do so. I have right at $7k in my set with 14 new coins to buy and 12 I am going to upgrade. I ended up starting a second book as I upgrade a coin, I just move it over to that, I am always looking to upgrade when I can and gives me a good spot for trade material. The most important thing is to enjoy your coins! I get mine out about every day and look at them! Report this Post to the Staff
TimJing Valued Member United States 346 Posts	Posted 06/09/2007 11:57 pm I have been enjoying my coins, every time I get new ones I show them to my family, and I get them out and just admire them from time to time. One of the most satisfying things is taking one of the coins out (not a proof coin!) and just flipping it around in your hand. I'm sure most of you know what I mean when I talk about how satisfying that is. Report this Post to the Staff
