I thought everyone collected those. Don't understand your facenation with Proofs either. Not an easy item to find almost anywhere. Well, to each his own I guess. I suppose I'd be more interested in dimes in general if I could actually see them better with my naked eye (darn presbyopia!). And, as I mentioned, I would love to own a nice 1916D Mercury dime, except there's no way I could possibly afford a nice one. I just don't understand how anybody can NOT be fascinated with proofs, especially of classic coins... Report this Post to the Staff
chesterb Pillar of the Community United States 1261 Posts	Posted 11/24/2013 12:17 pm Based on your budget, I would save up the money from all those coins and buy one true American classic like a Chain cent or 1796 Quarter. Both of these would be an expansion of your 7070 so it stays in the theme and they will always be in high demand. A nice problem free Chain is an impressive coin to behold. That being said, I'm a type collector myself and that's what I am interested in. Report this Post to the Staff
barryg Pillar of the Community United States 5866 Posts	Posted 11/24/2013 1:30 pm Yeah, too rich for my blood. I just don't want to tie up so much money on a single coin. I have thought of expanding my 7070 a bit into the past, however, with a draped bust dollar or heraldic eagle half. Depending on the year, I might be able to find decent examples in the $1000-2000 range.

mkman123 Pillar of the Community United States 3184 Posts	Posted 11/24/2013 2:02 pm avoid MS60 coins.......you can find coins that are au58 that look better than ms60 or even m61-62ish. Thats why some au58 coins are called au64s by some collectors :) I say a proof morgan would be a wow piece for a collection or perhaps a 1955 DDO lincoln Report this Post to the Staff
jerseyben Pillar of the Community United States 1211 Posts	Posted 11/24/2013 2:17 pm Have you considered a classic copper coin? For $1000, you could grab a low grade 1793 wreath cent. Report this Post to the Staff

Thought about it, but for now I'd like to get better quality coins. I'm in this for the long haul, though, so who knows... Report this Post to the Staff

Not one I would buy, since it's not slabbed and I can't examine it in hand, but it sure does look pretty...
