BostonCC,
I have been working on my set in a dansco for about 8 years w many upgrades along the way. My goal was au55-58 from 1909-1927 and ms64 red or better from 1928-date. I now need only 1909 svdb, 1922 no d, and 1955 double die. Those three coins might take me 6-8 years. Most all coins I took from pcgs holders problem free coins (save your tab inserts from slabs if you do break them out). Also use coin gloves when handling.

*** Edited by Staff - Please Review the rules that you agreed to when you registered. *** related to buying and selling.

One recommendation is to carefully decide the look you like and then be consistent. Toning and color and grade. I prefer chocolate nice brown AU coins, as opposed to low grade slightly worn mint cents that are somewhat reddish that also technically grade AU. Xf is a great balance of appearance and cost. It looks great when you are done. But thinking about it carefully up front will save you money and avoid having all kinds of extra coins from upgrades.

Also I hunt rolls of cents and get many wheats, but unless you plan to hunt rolls the rest of your life daily, don't expect to get a nice full set of LWC from circulation. Just my opinion.

I tend to agree with you that the early dates will be very difficult to pull from circulation in F+ grades.


Have fun with circulation pulls, and go to Alaska Coin Exchange for the ones you don't want to wait for:

Dave, thanks for the link.

I don't even know how best to start hunting rolls - ha! I suppose just go to the bank and buy a box of pennies? Or is there a more productive methodology? Maybe focus my purchases on wheat rolls from dealers?

My wife might lose it if I amass multiple containers full of "junk" pennies and have them scattered about all over the house! I'd have to bring them to a Coinstar soon after the search and eat their percentage.

Unsolicited endorsement of my favorite place for lower-grade US coins, especially copper. He's also a member here at CCF.
Rest in Peace
