I think you could get a Franklin and possibly a Walker for close to melt.
I started with a Dansco but found the 20th century coins in high grade did not look the best next to the xf coins of the 19th century, plus the thought of doing both century's was a daunting one. My solution was to start with the Whitman 20 century type set and to do it in a high grade while I still look for nice 19th century examples.
I like your idea of doing a lower grade set too. You could always upgrade as your budget allowed and it would let you get started by buying more coins than a higher grade set and the hunt would be just as enjoyable.
