Date set, yes.
But now that I want all of the Cohen varieties, the answer is no. Only you can decide when your collection is complete. |

Despite having a pretty large collection, the only full sets I've completed are V nickels, silver Washington quarters (1932-1964), 1938-2002 Jefferson nickels, Susan B. Anthony dollars, and Walking Liberty half dollars. For the "almost" albums, Indian Head cents is almost complete (missing 1909-S) and same for Mercury dimes (missing 1916-D of course) and Lincoln wheat cents (no 1909-S VDB or 1914-D.) Nothing else really close except maybe Canada Large Cents (need 9 coins including varieties, or 6 for a date set) and US Large Cents (not likely to happen any time soon, I need both 1793's, 1799, and 1804, in other words, another $5000-$9000 or more for just those 4 coins.)

I completed a portrait set of English / British shillings Charles 11 to Elizabeth 11 some years ago.
Minimum grade Fine (British grading) This set now with my son.
He has completed a type set of British copper and bronze Pennies - all monarchs.
I have also completed an Australian gold type set of Sovereigns and half Sovereigns, (17 coins in all), including an Adelaide Pound. This set sold at auction a long time ago.
I don't know if you an call it a set?, but I have built a collection of all of the major denominations of Greek and Roman coins - nowhere near complete, and very unlikely to ever be so.
It does include at least one representative coin from all of the major ancient cultures: Greek, Roman, Roman Colonial, Celtic, Bosporus, Byzantine, Chinese, Islamic, Indian, Parthian, Sassanian and most of the related sub cultures.

Newfoundland: 1873, 1888
Province of Canada: 1858-9
Canada: 1902, 1903
India: rupees, half-rupees 19th c.
The rest of the collection is pretty scattershot - hoping to complete the Newfoundland 5c, 20c and 50c in the next two years.

For British coins, I've got a complete collection of all denominations issued for circulation from third-farthing to halfcrown from Edward VII to Elizabeth II (1902 - 1970). I don't have all the gold coins or the George V Wreath crowns, the super-rare coins like the 1933 penny or coins only issued in Proof Sets like the 1927 threepence. I have a full date and mintmark set of Victorian bronze pennies from 1860 - 1901, including most of the major varieties, but none of the really rare ones like the 1862 with a die number or the 1882 no H. For the USA, I've completed a set of P and D State Quarters thanks to trading with CCF members. I have a date set of Morgan dollars with a mixture of mintmarks and in a variety of conditions! I only have one example of each coin from 1878 to 1904 plus all three 1921 coins. My Morgan collection includes specimens from all four mints. |

My kingdom of Poland OFEY is at -5 (out of 83 dates) for the 1500s. That was 8 months ago. Now it's complete: Sigismund I - 1507-1540, 1545-46. (coins from nearby Prussia and Silesia to fill in 1541-44) Sigismund II - 1547-1570 Gdansk Interregnum coinage - 1573 Gdansk siege coinage - 1577 Stefan Bathory - 1578-86 Sigismund III - 1588-1627 Of course that's just a subset of a larger OFEY set for the Kingdom that should go to 1795. I'm missing 8 dates in the 1600s, and more in the next century. And an OFEY is not really a set in the more conventional set of all the dates for given type... I've got no aspirations there.

@gabibacsi, if you go to this thread: http://goccf.com/t/322163&whichpage=305 ... and scroll to the bottom of page 305 and then the following pages, , you will find some coins of Stefan Bathory, mixed in with other coins of the same era. If you then go to page 323 of the same thread, you will start to find coins of Sigismund I, as well as many Hungary denars from this earlier era. Edited by tdziemia
