My Humble 7070 To Jump On The Bandwagon Of Posting Pics

I'm in the same boat as TPG, just waiting on the new one...

Yea the swimming one can fetch up to $50, been seeing the 2011 go for like $20 though. And Civil war has been hitting $15-20. I got a 1994 World Cup on the way then going to try an get the 1992 Gymnast (cheap coin can be had normally for less than $5) and the Madison to finish out the silvers. Funny thing is the Madison and Washington are silvers and they only fetch $10-15 whereas some of the clads can go for way more than that.

Very nice...you're putting together a really wonderful collection.

Sirdizzy, you have some that I'm really looking for. Problem is, my goal XF or above detail free. Some coins can get really pricey at this goal!
Did you set a certain grade level?
Great idea for your boy but then again who else could you possible give all of that to.

I didn't set a level for what the coins would be, I'd love for them to be all XF or higher but probably not going to happen. I buy the best coin that is my budget and price range. Take the Trade dollar for example I have a VF I could have gotten an AU with chop marks instead but liked the look of the VF better so I went with that one. Certain coins I waited until I had the budget to get a nice example like my Standing Liberty as its my favorite coin and I wanted an AU or better. I am doing the same with the T1 my next purchase will be a XF t1 Standing Liberty quarter. Its $110 sure they have a VG for $65 and I could grab another coin with the extra money but I'd rather have the nicer example. Take the barber series I actually think they look really nice in a VG or F they wore so well where as say the Seated Liberty series gets really ugly the more worn it gets (I wanna upgrade most of my seated liberties for that reason).

If you stick with one grade or higher the set is going to take a long time, I like to buy what looks good and catches my eye and is in my budget and at the same time put a nice set together.

Now my sons set has been fun as I got a lot of coins for it out of circulation it would be awesome if I could do the whole set out of circulation but I doubt I'll ever see a barber in circ or a T1 Standing Liberty quarter. His V nickel, Indian Head cent, Buffalo nickel, Mercury dime, Wheat cent and silver washington were all given to me as change over the years makes the set a little funner. :)

I agree. Look at my set, hardly high end.

Terrific start!!
