KenKat Pillar of the Community United States 4085 Posts	Posted 04/28/2018 11:50 am I know you already decided - and beautiful coin by the way - but when building sets, especially copper where color comes into play, it's going to depend on the rest of your set. A 63RB is going to stand out in a set of all brown coins. A brown coin, even a high grade 64 or 65, will stand out amongst a red brown set. So, if you have mostly AU coins, I'd stick with that. If you are building a mostly uncirculated set, stick with those wherever you can afford to. My 7070 US Type Set My 7100 Lincoln Cent Set (now with updates!)

txgolfer56 Valued Member United States 475 Posts	Posted 04/28/2018 7:04 pm My strategy, right or wrong, is to collect MS63RB or MS64 RB on the late years of the series and then move down to AU for the older common dates and XF or even VF for the semi-key dates and likely F for 1877. So, the "set" will generally move from RB to chocolate as the dates get older. Report this Post to the Staff
