Some good answers .. but I am still sticking to this set is the easiest to complete. How can just buying two proof sets(not even the whole sets, just the six quarter sets) and one mint set, all sets are 2009 and can still be bought at or close to mint price. As for the Jefferson nickels, I really like the set. But with proofs, wow that is about 50 proof nickels more if you add a page for the early proofs. And as for me I am very close to getting done with it, but then I bought a book on nickels and I am thinking I might have to start all over. The Jefferson set might be one of my favorite sets once I get it all done in mid to high grade coins. But that will take me a long time to finished and then upgrade. |

Ikes, hands down.
The years are only 71-78, and the coins are relatively cheap (proof series too). There is no 75s and only recognized Dansco varities are in 76. Plus, once you are done, yoe don't have to worry about new issues! I like this answer.  |

Hmm I'm actually inclined to agree with IKEs.
although you cant do ikes very easily from circulation.

Goldrush, the 8145 sounds easy enough to me.
With the Ike book, would have to the coins from several sources to get any sort of quality at all.

I think your right, I was not meaning most liked, just easiest.
I like Ike, and I did like filling it up. But it was hard finding some of the coins.
The 1971's were not in the mint sets, I looked thru hundreds to find the ones that are in my set now.
And finding proof silver Ike's that are not milky, I would not say was hard, but something to watch out for.
I am not complaining, I really did like putting the Ike set together.
Just no way as easy, more fun yes!

As far as I know, all 8xxx series Dansco Albums ( "including proof only issues") have places for the silver proofs (where applicable; obviously the cent, nickels and baby dollars do not have silver proof issues). I have seen an 8xxx series Dansco missing the silver proof holes. It was an older album (made long before 1992) that had pre-dated holes (when Dansco was unaware of the yet to be released silver proof issues). |

I have one of those too. Another good set. Yes sort of easy to complete.
But the 2001 S proof, will cost up to half of the DC and Territories album.
Then you have the other 29 coins (not counting 2010), and of course each year
you will have to keep adding the new years coins.
Another fun set to do, and a nice looking set .. not to hard .. but I would not say easier.

Goldrush,
Sounds like a super easy set to finish...
For me it was the Prez dollars.
I get the annual mint and proof sets, and there are no silvers.
So it was just pull and place in the album for me. Then update
as new sets arrive.
When and where is this next coins show?

ratio411 Your right I forgot about that one ... the Presidential dollars is very easy, it would be one that is in the running. For Presidential dollars I have the dansco P and D album. I do the same thing, when I break open the mint set I put them in the album. For now I keep the proofs in the mint hard plastic holders. I do like how the satin finish dollars look in the album. |

Ok I own almost all the dansco books and I have a quite a few books full(complete) but they are not "Finished" I have yet to finish a set to my liking, I have a "complete wheat set" but I want to upgrade it to a vf set. I have a full walker set that I want to bring up to a vf-xf set. See my issue? But if your just hole filling I think that the Jefferson nickels with out proofs set would be the easest..The 50 d would be one for sure that you would have to buy. |
