What path to take with Walkers?

Here's the NU B again looking for some sound advice. I am new to the coin game and am collecting for long term profit. (I am 70) I have started a Walking Liberty set of MS 64 or better. After a while I became painfully aware that some key dates are super expensive in these grades. My dilemma now is (1) Should I lower goals and collect lower grades? (2) I've picked up some very nice coins at excellent prices: Should I crack for the set, or re-sell for the profit? or, (3) can I reasonably expect to sell the set in the future at a profit greater than individual sales? Thanks for any and all opinions.

Sometimes a CH AU will have a better strike then it's CH BU counterpart... but still just as much eye appeal sans a touch of rub.
Get real, long term for us geezers can be as soon as this weekend.
You got a chance to make a buck, do it.

Might be the best advice I've gotten so far Ray. Thanks.

Don't worry about a grade match set, collect what you like, a visualy matched set is much nicer than a set with only matching grades.
Having already been down the path you are on, except in MS66, I can say that if I were to do it again I would not buy anything dated in the 1940s at all. There are simply too many of them around in all MS grades except 66 (a few dates) and 67 for much upside potential in the short term. Instead, I would focus on buying only early better and key dates with problem-free, attractive surfaces... and in pretty much any grade. For best resale potential I would also focus on buying PCGS coins.
If you get a chance to make a profit on any '40s dates you already have, I would take Ray's advice and do it.

This might be what I want to do most of all!!
