    depends on your budget, but the MS-63 grade will give you the most bang for your buck, the eye appeal in this grade will make you happy also

    I think you can go to 64 for most years without any significant premium.

    Otherwise, I don't see myself collecting Saints as a series or anything more than just a few.

    In that case, buy a high grade1908 NM CAC , a 1924 CAC & save up for a HR.
    That will check all the boxes & you can move on.

    Seriously..If you don't love, obsess & give up meals over a particular design.
    It could be a problem

    For a date series I always want to buy the set stopper (1927-D) first. No sense in putting a large dollars in all but one coin. But it would be very nice to own a Saint in MS66 or better as a high quality type coin. Or even better is to just own one Saint Proof.

    It is hard to even get the set stopper. One thing I do like about the proof coins is that there's no rub and the matte finish goes good on the coins, I don't get why people back then hated the matte finish.
