How about Classic Head/Coronet Head/ Braided Hair Large Cents? They are mostly pretty affordable. Like everyone else said though, it's all about budget. (A number would be good to understand). Anyway, if not that, how about some Jefferson nickels? It's a really solid set that's not too challenging to build. However, if you want a challenge, you should do them in 65/66/67+. |

I read it is rare that people work on a seated liberty set because there are quite a few that are very rare. You can start a seated liberty type set though and get an example of each type. Some have drapery, some no motto or motto, some have arrows, and one year has arrows and rays.

Well, I'm not going to suggest Colonials...at least not now :-) I have a near complete set of Barber dimes. Minus the 1895-O, most are quite affordable. There are a few that will set you back a little but it is a very fun series to work on. To keep it affordable, I did all VG coins. swcoin.ecrater.com

Oh sure, get a few examples. You can also do a type set since there are several different types. There are 8 types of Seated quarters, they changed the design 8 times. |

Decided I will start a collection of Franklin halves and go for good grades. Affordable coin with good return on the investment. Sweet design too. (and of course I will continue to squirrel away bullion given its affordability) |

What sets do you already have? Low budget is LMC, Roosevelt dimes 1965 to date, SBA 1979-1999, State Quarters, 1965-1998 quarters, Jefferson nickels, 1940 to date Lincoln cents, Kennedy halves, and then if you want to skip key dates with the least amount of holes V nickels, Indian Head cents, Roosevelt silver dimes, Mercury dimes, Barber dimes, Baber Quarters, Barber halves . . . . I have most of above said sets (except the Barbers) complete or almost down to the last 2. |

In all honesty I don't really have any sets completed. Just some nicer coins that I've bought and or inherited. But I can tell you my budget is high enough to complete a set of Franklin halves that have decent grades, which is what I've decided on for now. It will be gradual, but sweet when it's finished. |

Jefferson Nickels. A great set to collect and not super expensive. There are enough coins that getting the whole set in same grade will take a good bit of time so you will be well occupied with it.

I too have a limited budget, the most I've ever spent on one coin was $45. I have almost complete Lincoln set 1930-date. Just missing 1970 SD and the SD 1960's. I also am working on a dansco 7070 type set, and that has been extremely fun to work on. I can just buy whatever type of coin I feel like, and have a handy space in an album to store it. I know you have decided on Franklin halves, which are a great choice, but I'm always more fond of type sets. |
