I like where your going. And if you decide on doing a
classic (1800's) proof year set. Then it might help
you decide on which coin to look for.
I have toyed with doing something similar. Doing a type/year
proof set. In the back of my mind I think about doing a
1896 proof year set. My grandfather was born in 1896.
If you can narrow down what you would really like ..
As you said ... you don't have to buy them all at once.
Be a project that would take many years.

As you can see there are many coins and currency in our hobby of ours . my suggestion is go to a large show. You will be amassed at all the different numismatic items there. take your time and study each table, make notes of what turns you on and at what tables. Most of all ,have fun , and don't forget to bargain for the coin you decide on.  |

You can't go wrong with a beautiful piece of gold, although I would recommend NGC or PCGS.

I've got about 19 weeks to save for Summer FUN, so far I'm thinking of either a MS Double eagle, a early 1900s proof set, or a handful of DMPL Morgans.

I really like the look of a Mint state (or Proof) barber, though I don't own any right now. They are very hard to come buy in a decent price above a fine. What, like these:       Each of these set me back around $1000-1100. And yes, I think an early 20th century proof set would be a wonderful idea! I'm just missing a proof Buffalo nickel to make my set complete (I do have a proof Liberty "V" Nickel, however, so I guess you could say my 20th century proof set is actually complete depending on how you are defining it). |

Really nice looking coins and love the black eagle as well. Threads like this always get me wanting to start a new set. Thanks for sharing all the pics.

Looking at all of these gorgeous coins, especially those proof Seated Liberty beauties, I actually caught myself saying, Oh, Wow!" out loud to myself!
I guess I got wrapped up in the spirit of this thread.

I've been looking into Carson City Halves and quarters lately, those get pricey pretty darn quick. Makes my CC set idea tough to complete.

maybe a nice ancient au with pretty toning, having a 2000 year old coin that looks like it was minted 10 years ago has lots of wow potential
