Been collecting for forty years, did not inherit any. I was the first collector in the family. With a little luck I should still have another thirty years or so.
I don't have a life or family and my living expenses are low so a significant portion of my income can go toward my collection. (unfortunately my income is low as well.)

Thinking about Kennedys, uncirculated and proofs. Just bought a couple 73 S proofs, and a 1994 S proof. Eisenhowers too, I have 1971 S and 1972 S uncirculated and am thinking of building a set around those.

"Working" on quite a few at the moment, but I'm really setting most of them aside until my Mercury dimes are done (excluding varieties). Only two to go (though there are some I will probably want to upgrade). |

I'm "working" on more collections than I'll ever complete. Lincoln cents, I only need the 09-S VDB Liberty head nickels, I only need the 1885 Buffalo nickels, need about half the set Barber dimes, I need 8 coins. Barber quarters, I need 13 coins. Mercury dimes, I need the 16-D and 21-D Standing Liberty quarters, I need 9 coins. Washington quarters, I need the 32 D & S. I've completed: Indian Head cents Franklin halves Jefferson nickels X 2 Roosevelt dimes. I have many coins from just about every series but I can't say I'm "working" on those sets. If I see a quality coin, regardless of whether or not I'm working on that set or not, I'll snag it if I can. The addiction can never been satisfied.  |

I'm kind of in limbo trying to save for keys also.
The problem is I think of cheaper coins to buy ie: I'm thinking of starting a set of Sacagawea $

While CRH, I'm working on a a complete collection of circulating pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, half dollars, presidential and sac dollars - depending on my mood. I also collect Franklin and Walking Liberty half dollars as part of a junk silver hoard. I am trying for one from each date and mint. As for classic coins, I am working on a silver dollar type set as funds allow. Edited by tgauchsin

You don't have a LIFE?  I would think all that you've done in this forum is sort of a LIFE though. Add me to your will. I'll add you to mine.  Edited by just carl

I am not working on an particular set at present.
Instead, I buy the odd coin here and there which strikes my fancy.
You'll will understand when you have 40 or 50 years of collecting experience.
