I'm starting to build a Low Ball Morgan and Peace set. Anything AG or lower will be considered.

Preferably RAW or PCGS, though Ill certainly consider NGC or other TPG slabs.

    Good luck, a MS set is eaiser, than a PO1-FR2 set. As with the MS set all you need is money. The lowball set's you need luck.

    What is the definition of a "low-ball"? Low grade, low price, other? And where does one FIND such specimens usually?image

    Low ball means a low grade of coin such as a PO01 the lowest grade possible or FR02 the next lowest grade. Understand that when numismatic collectors or in my case low ball collector it means that I collect coins in the lowest grades possible. PCGS has a active low ball registry going now for nearly seven years. Coins must be graded problem free which can be very frustrating. Because several things could disqualify a coin from grading. The grade of PO01 is the most difficult grade of coin to find. Most worn coins are often times overlooked or sold as scrap silver for melting. Thus a lot of low ball type coins are lost forever. Understand also that VAM coins are equally valued as well. Even more so in a lot of cases. There are different type of coins and even gold coins are scarfed up when one is found. You brought up the topic of low ball cost. Coins that are true low ball type coins can bring some serious money. A common date or mint coin can be bought for $60.00 or less for a mint state coin. A PO01 coin if it's the right date or mint or a VAM coin can be worth several hundred dollars. In some cases even several thousand such as a 1893-S FR02 for $1500-$2300 and a 1878 8TF VAM-14.11 for near $8000 for a coin graded VF25. It all depends on how serious or involved you want to be or get. Most collectors go after the cream of the crop coins. I did too. But I was given a challenge to find a PO01 Morgan dollar three years ago and it was tough. I have several low ball sets on the registry and (10) are perfect PO01 sets. Questions are free. Its been an educational experience along the way and you tend to know a lot more about grading and what to look for when searching for the coins you want in your collection(s). I have helped several collectors build their set(s) up. Bought/sold/traded along the way. MWH email:coinman2000@msn.com

    Thanks for the info!

    I, for one, will never understand grading, however. To me, "mint state" type grades means the coin should have next to no wear & look almost like the day it was minted. Yet I see so many posts with coins that have tarnished or worse, have obvious wear, etc, yet they get graded MS-##. I just don't get it.

    "Luckily", my level of collecting falls somewhere between the cracks. I don't necessarily care for or after the high-grade coins, other to maybe get 1 nice example of each type (especially since I just can't afford to spend what higher grades command). Rather, I collect to fill holes in Whitman blue folders with "decent" coins I can afford to buy or trade for, or have primarily collected from my youth. While I can appreciate the challenge posed in finding them, I also am not enamored of low-balls. I go for coins where details can still pretty much be seen, but exhibit some "character" thru actual use over the years.

    But it is always interesting and educating to see what others collect & why, and some of the amazing collections that have been put together!
