One50 Valued Member United States 361 Posts	Posted 04/14/2024 11:26 pm I'm looking for some thoughts and ideas on this. I'm interested in getting 1 classic coin of the same type, date, mint, variety and grade from the major graders. ANACS, CAC, CACG, ICG, NGC and PCGS. Yes, I want one from CAC with a bean from another grader, plus one in a CACG holder. What coin do you think all the graders would have at a decent price in a MS grade. I'm thinking, 1921 Morgan or 1944 Mercury dime in MS64, maybe a 1922 or 1923 Peace dollar. What other coins would you consider? Report this Post to the Staff

Winesteven Pillar of the Community United States 697 Posts	Posted 04/15/2024 12:19 am I think any of the coins you mentioned can be found meeting your criteria AND with the eye appeal YOU like - whether blast white and highly lustrous, or toned.

TimNH Valued Member United States 416 Posts	Posted 04/15/2024 01:53 am Neat idea - I would suggest getting the most 'identical' coin possible in every holder, toning and grade and everything, and post them here for a blind taste test, see how they compare and if it confirms any suspicions about certain holders being more "generous" w/ their grading.

Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4468 Posts	Posted 04/15/2024 4:12 pm You may want to consider doing the set in a common date, but not the most common date as there is too much competition on resale with the most common date. If you were going to do a Morgan, something like a 1879 S or 1881 S would be a better choice for both quality and resale than the 1921. Both the 79S and 81S have some high quality examples in MS64 that the 1921 can not match. You could do this set in semi prooflike with the Morgan 79S or 81S that would make the set a little challenging and not break the bank.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/15/2024 4:31 pm Good advice! I suggested a common Peace dollar as a possibility because, at least to me, it is the most difficult of all our silver coins to grade and to comprehend how the TPGs grade them.

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10034 Posts	Posted 04/15/2024 4:44 pm Fun way to collect! I think I would go for Walkers though as they are my favorite larger denomination design. But I don;t collect slabs anyway. When you do get them all, make a post so we can all see them! How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 04/15/2024 6:53 pm Try early Type 2 Buffalo nickels or 1918-1921 Standing Liberty quarters sometime if you want to see a huge grade spread. I've got a long-held suspicion that I could take, say, a 1919-D Standing Liberty in "VF something" grade and submit it to TPG's and get everything back from Fine to AU.

One50 Valued Member United States 361 Posts	Posted 04/15/2024 8:59 pm All great suggestions. I'm finding if it's to common like a mercury 1944. I can get in 63-65 for really good prices, but no one CACs a 1944 Mercury until 66 or higher, now the price is going up . I see now I have to start with a CAC coin first to set the base line, then the others should fall into place. I do like Peace dollars and the Walking Liberty reverse is the best on any coin. I think larger coins would be the best way to go. I'll keep thinking and keep everyone updated. Thanks again for the input and keep it coming. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94786 Posts	Posted 04/15/2024 9:30 pm So does that mean you re going with the Peace dollars? From what I heard it is the easier one to fulfill. Collecting since 1972.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/15/2024 9:35 pm I cannot imagine a wider likely grade spread than on Peace dollars for non-gold coins. Edited by Coinfrog 04/15/2024 9:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff
