After about a year of searching, I completed the 14 coin Oregon Trail set in PCGS MS67. It was a great hunt and search experience (isn't that really what it's all about?). Some were four figures (thankfully just a few), while the majority were considerably less. Of all the different dates/mint marks the 1934-D was hands down the most difficult to find in an attractive 67. In the near future, I'll post the finished set. As an aside, I did complete a 50 coin Type Set several years ago in much lower grade and ended by breaking it up to go after something else. Prices were much higher then than now. I think the current softness in the CSS market is incentive to hit the pavement running if you have an interest in building a set (or eclectic partial set). I'm after a few more of the low mintages in MS65 grade to complement my Oregons and just acquired a gorgeous Antietam in MS65 at the Dalton, GA show earlier this month. PG

What's your opinion on the market?


Very delayed reply ... but I do offer the following FWIW ...

Pricing for all of our collectibles should of course be a variable to manage ... but the primary driver for my collecting pursuit is love of the coins and my personal interest to pursue them.

Similar to PG ... I have completed an entire classic silver commemorative type set ... two actually ... my MS set is all PCGS MS/CAC and my circulated set has gained some traction here at the CCF.

For me ... it's not about current market prices ... but what I choose to pursue with wisdom and knowledge gained through research.

Hope that helps ... and best of wishes with your personal pursuit of the series.
