You seem to be able to swiftly buy high quality good eye appeal coins. What's your secret?

No secret. I've had many of these coins prior to doing this set . I also shop locally so I get good prices. And when I buy on ebay, I look for a price/visual appeal. For example higher MS coins go up in price quickly, while MS62-65 coins are much lower priced and in many cases not graded well, so I buy the coin and not the grade. I also have no issue with who graded the coin. In many cases a nicer coin is cheaper because it's graded by a different company. In many cases people take really bad pictures, so I always check coin verification (when buying online) and I've also taken risks buying coins that could be better than the pictures.

I also have a side hobby (I do Astrophotography) and any profit I make from selling a picture I put back into the hobby. And lastly I can take a good picture

In my case, locally is very bifurcated: either cheap low grade coins or ultra expensive high grade coins. Neither is what I am looking for.

This was the coin that got me started on doing a 7070. In 2019, I found the below Barber dime at my LCS. After reading up on the 7070 and looking at the NGC registry, I thought that the below would be a good fit for a slabbed 7070. I picked up early in 2019 with a long term intention of starting a 7070 (eventually). Took a few side tours (Canada Small Cents and US currency), but this was the coin that planted the 7070 in my head.

Thanks Dave, sadly for the registry set, I buy the coin not that grade :)

I don't care about the grade or grader, just that the coin has visual appeal and doesn't cost a lot.

Since the US Mint will be releasing new Peace dollars in 2021. We needed an older one for the 7070 When I found one in an old green PCGS holder, I had to get it.

Not sure why you are wasting you time on this instead of getting more banknotes, but I guess they are pretty nice.
Of course, I'm kidding. I would have almost certainly started a 7070 during this COVID telework period if not for the fact that Dansco 7070 albums cost more than most of my coins these days.

Hey El Capitan de cafe!!

I honestly priced out of the remaining notes. Everything I wanted was much more than I could afford. And I also completed most of my goals, I'm still going to finish the fractional type set but after I finish this set and the Indian Head cents.
