Based upon budget, I'm thinking XF40 or XF45 condition as it gives a good balance between features, eye appeal and affordability. While I would love to find an AU58, that is clearly out of my budget. As you get into the older classic coins, do you hold out and save up for a higher grade or slide down in grade due to cost? Clearly, the earliest coins are probably out of my budget regardless of grade. lol

It depends. Personally I'll either get a nice AU-58 if I can find one at a good price, or maybe I'll snag a MS63. I haven't really paid much attention to my capped bust holes yet, but I'll get there at some point. I still need a few odd types and a ton of other things, so I haven't worried much about bust type set. Though I do have my Capped Bust Dime and Draped Bust Half.

I have yet to start a type set, although it has been on my mind for many years. It appears as though you and I face the same dilemma. High end and with it cost. I managed to go as far as buying the Capitol type holder, the large black one. My greatest concern is overall consistent eye appeal. So having read your post, perhaps I'll look over those early dates to get a realist idea of price per grade and go from there.

Nothing wrong with dropping to XF or low AU grades if higher grades are cost prohibitive, especially since you'll likely be getting circulated grades in the earlier bust coins. I think more important is finding coins that have great eye appeal and are representative of the series.

Grades mean nothing without pics, just my opinion - carry on with the discussion!

There are attractive coins at every grade. Make sure to get one with excellent eye appeal whether at XF or higher.

As they say, quality remains long after price is forgotten. If you stretch for a higher-grade piece that really satisfies you will probably be happier down the road.

I agree with what other people are saying. The technical grade, while important, isn't the only thing to look for in type coins. When I am looking, I would pick a budget, then just look for a coin in this range of grades that falls into your budget. Don't stress too much about the exact grade or one being an AU58 over an AU55. Just get a coin that looks good with the rest of your set. If that coin is too expensive, then decide if this is a long term project and you can wait to save, or lower expectations and get what you can afford.

This is a beautiful coin at a decent price. Something like this is what I am thinking

edit2: I just realized you are probably looking at type 2
