What do I send in?

It sure feels a whole lot better to have a good dilemma. The last half of 2009 was a rough time for my collection. For those of you who have been reading my journal entries this year, know I was to the point of selling the bulk of my collection to pay bills. Now, I'm past that with my collection intact, plus I renewed my membership in the Society for 2010.

I received my packet of materials for the year, and we all know that means GRADING COUPON!!!! So my good dilemma is: What do I want to get graded first??

My choices were threefold. 1. Commemoratives, 2. Proof American Eagles, or 3. a combination. Well, I've decided on commemoratives, I have a lot that need to get graded, plus it will sure help my 2 sets (halves and dollars). So now, which commemoratives?

I have 2 picked out for sure, my Lincoln and Civil War proofs. However, I do have others that are nice, the Jamestown, Bald Eagle and Jackie Robinson. Also I really need to do the Lewis & Clark proof, however I haven't decided which I'm going to put in my Wild West sig set yet, probably the uncirculated, but who knows for sure?

Another dilemma I have is this; I am starting to really like the half cents and large cents, especially from the years 1839 on. Do I make registry sets??? To have any kind of set will probably entail a low-medium 4 figure expenditure. I realize I am not going to have the #1 set in either denomination, so do I try for a nice ciruclated set, or what??? Any input will be appreciated.

On that note, my pic for this entry will be my 1849 half cent reverse.

Thanks for reading!
