Is it just me or are there other collectors out there that have several sets/Albums on the go at the same time.
I have at least a dozen to try and complete and at the same time I always am on the lookout for upgrades to my completed sets Aim to Enjoy life. You only get one shot at it

I am working on my Birth Year Set, just waiting on one order. Then will update my want list and get more in the set. And I am waiting on the 2012 US mint set to get other albums updated. So, that makes 7 albums/sets that I am working on.  Edited by Fuzzy317

It always sparks my interest when I see a coin from my birth year.  |

I have an Ike set that is three or four coins away from completion, a Kennedy set I am working on, I am about half way finished with my proof set collection, working on a Lincoln penny set, collecting random commemoratives as I go, working on a Morgan dollar set, building up a high quality SLQ set, and plugging in all the rest as I go. Sticking to just one series or album is boring in my opinion and collecting is all about having fun. Only problem is that I forget what all I need for all the different sets. |

The sets that I'm working on are just what I can get out of circulation:
Lincoln Cents: through 1974 (though pre-1941 I only have two)
Jefferson Nickles: through 1970
All Kennedys, Ikes, Sacagaweas, and Presidentials.
Oldest US coin in my collection: 1851 Large Cent
Oldest Foreign coin in my collection: 1945 Australian Sixpence

Over 100 Albums and constantly adding more and upgrading the present ones. All US coins. Some Plastic tubes of Canadian coins, a few boxes of foreign coins in 2x2's, way to many duplicates in 2x2's in boxes, piles of rolls.

I have too many. - FEC/Indian Cents
- Lincoln Cents (mostly from roll-hunting)
- Buffalo Nickels (done excluding varieties)
- Jefferson Nickels (100% from roll-hunting, down to 5 holes)
- Mercury Dimes (two different sets)
- State and Territory Quarters (silver proofs only)
- ATB Quarters P, D, proof and silver proof (once a few packages arrive, I'll be 100% up-to-date)
- JFK Halves (almost complete, mostly from roll hunting except 2011-present)
- Eisenhower Dollars incl. Proofs (P&D has one hole, missing most of the proofs and silvers)
- Sacagawea Dollars incl. Proofs (P&D is complete)
- Presidential Dollars incl. Proofs
There are others I'm aspiring to collect but I haven't focused on much yet: - 3 Cent Silvers
- Standing Liberty Quarters
- Walking Liberty Halves
- US Type Set

What I have left to complete... Lincoln Cents, Indian Head Cents, Buffalo Nickels, Mercury Dimes, and the 7070 type set. Of course, I am always adding the modern coins as they come out (which includes the new ATB quarters). |
