I just finished my first book of coins. (second if you count state quaters.) It is a book of silver rosies. The last coin is a 47s. I saw it in a lot of coins for sale on ebay and bought them for about a dollar over spot. The rest of the coins are all s mint coins too so I figured it was worth it. |

that's great, man. what set are you going to start next? I recommend you consider Ikes or Jefferson nickels. Both can be fun, easy, or a challenge if you want it to be. |

Well I have lots of partial books filled from my dad. He was a penny guy. I have just bought 15 $ face of pre 64 quaters so I think I am gonna start that set. Ill buy lots of silver coins on ebay and how to get lucky while at the same time increasing my silver stock :D |

Congratulations on completing your first set of coins! The Jefferson nickels were the first set that I completed, back in the 1960's. Completing a year set of large cents was my most difficult milestone. Pure chance delivered an affordable 1799 into my hands. It took me thirty years to complete a set of British farthings from 1860-1956; talk about patience! The last one was an 1863. The most fun set to complete was the so-called Dansco 7070 album for 1800-on U.S. type coins. That set involved constant upgrading and provided the best overall learning experience. I recommend the 7070 set to any and all who read this posting. Enjoy the hunt! |

Congrats on your first book.  That rush that you get from completing your book is the reason that I keep completing more and more of them! |

The 7070 is a type set for US coins, meaning it contains most types of all denominations minted since 1800. |
