Part of me says it's the only way to build a really nice set that you can be happy with. I try to fill each slot with a coin that has the look and character that fits the set. I am on a budget so some coins have flaws, but the eye appeal vs. price trade-off is positive.
The other thing I would say is to filter down results. On an 1859 cent, what's a nice one in your grade cost? $50? $100? Ignore everything below a certain price. That $0.06 one is probably not going to be the one you want. And if it's nice, it will get bid up and eventually make your filter.
I also would sort by "Newly Listed" so I wouldn't revisit the same coins more than once.
Finally. I'd review the listings on my iPad - I can scroll through a page full of garbage coins pretty quickly. You don't have to look at every coin. If it doesn't catch your eye on the list page, forget about it. Maybe a couple of nice ones get away but there's plenty more always coming up.
