I'm by no means a high end/dollar buyer but I feel that we should buy the best grade we can possibly afford when it comes to rarer dates.You'll never regret it.sometimes I have to scrimp and not buy any coins for awhile till I feel what i have spent is off set by time and not buying/spending higher amounts till I'm confortable with it.does that make sense for you? You can spend alot of funds on lower end grades of coins and when you add the costs up you've spent more on those low grade coins,(Which someday you'll want to upgrade those)but now they'll cost you more.it's tough to see those high end coins go by,but for years scarce coins have never lost there value.and the higher the grade the more the gain.Look at it this way,if you put $750.00 in the bank what will you have in 5,10 or 15 years?not much gain there anymore!But that rare or higher grade coin will always out form others.My advise from collecting for over 50 years,(and I know it's not always a easy route)know your grading systems for ever type of coin you will collect and put that knowledge to work and purchase the best grade you can afford,and protect your collection.You won't regret it when you look at your collection,or decide to sell it.Remember they only made so many,(mintage)and theres hundreds of thousands more c0llector now then there was in the past.Maybe 500,000 mintage seems like a lot but with the millions of collectors in the world that number doesn't go very far.and that ratial is continually widening as more collectors enter the market place and demands drive prices even higher.So,that saying buy the best grade you can afford to and you'll never regret it.thanks for reading,your friend in collecting,GPRRead full review

Good option for this collection. Now as the funds & the time comes available I will start trying to collect a much higher grade of coin but that may take awhile & several hundreds of The Green Backs more like Thousands

Well as more and more people fall in love with coin collecting the coins get rarer and harder to find we all know what that means prices go up so buy now or pay more later.
