bobh Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Might be something of a challenge ... to collect a complete date/MM/variety set in FR02: 1877 indian cent, PCGS-FR02 Is this something to be proud of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dockwalliper Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 While most certified set collectors shoot for a top score there are some that attemt to put together the lowest possible score certified set. It would fit right in with this "Low ball" registry set. http://www.pcgs.com/setregistry/alltimeset.aspx?s=32366 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 I personally would love to do that. I made an attempt once on a P01 coin I think it was. It sold for much more than I was willing to pay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abish Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Never underestimate the love of (or misplaced pity for) a coin that has been used and abused . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just carl Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Not sure what the point here is. I've seen people collect and save old beer cans found in the garbage, old bottles found in construction sites, old lumber dug up from construction sites, etc. And don't forget the Beanie Babies, Hot Wheel Cars, baseball/ football cards. Aside from coins I save and collect old flashlights and don't know why. So just what is wrong with a coin that is YUK? Anyone know if there is a grade called Y- (-48) for YUK minus 48???

thedeadpoint Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I have an AG-3 1896-O barber dime. I paid $37 for it. Of the 610,000 coins for that date (one of the keys of a popular series), only 128 are certified. Only 3 are in AG-3 grade at either of the major grading services. Chances are, if there are any F-02 or P-01 coins from this date and mint, there are only one or two of them and they are locked away in someone's registry set. Anyone looking to compete will need one of the three AG-03 coins. I can now sell this coin for a premium over the red book AG-03 quote. But I didn't pay that much so I'll have a nice return! I forgot what point I was trying to get at... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Oh, and one thng I think is scary about collecting the low grade coins, they are easier to fake than a high grade coin. Nothing stops me from sending this baby through a accelerated wear regimen to net a lower grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drusus Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 go figure...to each his own, I would never pay that much for such a terrible coin (even ancient) but then I dont have any spots to fill. Even if I did, I think I would just leave that spot blank. It being rare is one thing but it is also because of the amount of people who collect american coins like this and try to make sets...I just bought a coin from ceylon a bit ago, mintage only 500,000...3x as big and silver...paid 20 bucks...and IMO its a much nicer coin design!!
