chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 03/11/2019 2:44 pm I was lucky when I started mine. A member was selling about a dozen coins he had upgraded in his album. I purchased them from him. Those, plus what I had in my possession, gave me a nice jumpstart. Now I just basically choose a hole at random, do some reading up on the piece, then figure out what grade I'm willing to budget for.

chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 03/12/2019 09:09 am I agree. I feel the same way that it's pretty overwhelming. So many holes. I just keep telling myself,"One at a time... One at a time." Eventually it'll be,"One left to go! One left to go!"

jaxenro Pillar of the Community United States 533 Posts	Posted 03/12/2019 12:06 pm I would pick a set, a budget, a grade, and or a price. For instance I am doing Morgans and the best coin and grade I can get for under $500 for each year and mint mark combination. So it might be a MS61 for one and a MS66 for another. I am doing the same with a few other series, like the Barber dime, but in that case it is $60 limit. I am also collecting modern Silver Eagles and all those are MS70 regardless of price so I going by grade not price in that c ASE Report this Post to the Staff
txgolfer56 Valued Member United States 475 Posts	Posted 03/12/2019 4:13 pm Since I already have a thread on starting a type set collection going, I will only update progress and ask questions there. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff
