Does anyone collect each grade of a particular coin, same year?

Was wondered if anyone has collected a coin, let's say a 1900 Morgan in grades P-1 and up at each grade?

Text1922 D grade set
<< <i>I'm working on a grading set for capped bust half dimes from Poor-1 to MS-66, but need all nine years to get the set done. Still lacking PO-1, AG-3, G-4, VG-8, and F-12 to get the set done in PCGS holders >>
Barndog, are you looking for upper-end coins for each grade or just for average-for-the-grade coins? I've always felt that a grading set should be average for the grade, a main reason I have not considered one. I hate buying a coin when I know there are nicer ones out there in the same grade.

good question. For the higher-end coins (say, AU-58 to MS-66) I have very nice for grade coins (better than average). The low grade stuff is where I want ACCURATELY graded coins. For example, I don't want to own a PO-1 that is a "shot FA-2" -- I want a barely-identifiable coin to be my PO-1 candidate. In other words, when I look at each coin in the grading set, I want there to be no doubt in my mind that the grade is correct. If that makes sense...

Yep it does. And it makes sense as well. Also, did you buy duplicates for each grade or if you already had (say the ms 65/66) from your set, do you just include them in your 'grading' set. Same goes for the tougher die marriages you have in lower grades. I guess what I'm asking is if your grading set is completely seperate from your date set and die marriage set, or if they overlap.

overlap at XF-40 and above, since XF-40 is the "minimum acceptable" grade for my primary set. Plus, MS-66 CBHD are too pricey to have a dupe laying around in a grading set. I have multiple examples of each grade (even the tough MS-60) at and above XF-40

That's what I figured. We're overlapping the seated dollar and liberty nickel slots in our type set for the same reason.
I purchased solid examples of MS-63 through MS-67 as a grading ref.
Must be me, but in that 95-S grading set that Steve27 posted the link in, looks like the PO-1 has more detail than the FR-2. I not it's not like a life or death thing, but just saying........

Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.

Wes:
That 1895-S set is mine, and I agree that the Poor-01 looks better than the Fair-02. But I guess I'm wrong since that's how PCGS graded 'em, right?

Now that's a great looking set. I wonder if Marty knows about that P01.
