Working on my Dansco 7111 currently. Got the 85, 12-S out of the way and a few others.
I'm going full LIBERTY and above.

I started a Dansco Half Dime set too. Got the 1795 and a few others too

I've already got many Albums. Most are complete and some close. I've now trying a set of Nickels and Dimes but all in one Album. For example Shield, Liberty Head, Indian Head and Jefferson all in one Album. Naturally no proofs or errors. Similar with Dimes.

I've been thinking about collecting albums first...

As for sets, Roosevelt dimes seems the most doable for me right now. Mercury dimes minus keys after that. I have a low budget so those coins should be a good start.

Nearly finished filling albums with the typical modern coins (Abe, Jeff, Roosie, Georgie, Ike, small dollars, etc.), trying to wrap up my Kennedys right now. Most everything I have is circulated. Was considering starting Peace dollars or Franklin halves. Then I remembered one modern I haven't done yet. So, 2016 is the year of the American Silver Eagle for me (especially since silver prices are currently low). For the classics, only one last hole to fill in my 7070 (Seated Liberty $1 with motto). That will be done by next month.

I would love to start a new set, but my goal is to finish my 7070.

Hmm.... going to be getting a Dansco soon for my Jeffersons and going to start a Roosevelt dime set & a clad quarter set in the next couple months.
I don't buy Danscos unless I have the set completely or nearly done.

I promised myself I would finish the Canadian 5 cent silver collection before moving on. I have about 90% of it done with all varieties included but still need to purchase most of the very expensive keys. So I caved in today and got my silver dollar set started with this purchase: https://goccf.com/t/251373
I may have broken my rule, but it did feel good.

I might have....this evening. Will see if my offer is accepted on two coins.

Peace dollar set in AU58 or better.

Only ONE really expensive key - the 34 S.

Working on too many currently as it is. I need to finish one or two before I embark on another one or two.

Hey Jack,

How about these? The gold and silver ones that I have seen go for well under 100 bucks each.

I may find myself doing the South Song Emperor series and/or the Ming Dynasty series by emperor reign title in the near future. But I am focusing on pre-Tang right now.
