What sets do you already have?

Low budget is LMC, Roosevelt dimes 1965 to date, SBA 1979-1999, State Quarters, 1965-1998 quarters, Jefferson nickels, 1940 to date Lincoln cents, Kennedy halves, and then if you want to skip key dates with the least amount of holes V nickels, Indian Head cents, Roosevelt silver dimes, Mercury dimes, Barber dimes, Baber Quarters, Barber halves . . . .

I have most of above said sets (except the Barbers) complete or almost down to the last 2.

In all honesty I don't really have any sets completed. Just some nicer coins that I've bought and or inherited. But I can tell you my budget is high enough to complete a set of Franklin halves that have decent grades, which is what I've decided on for now. It will be gradual, but sweet when it's finished.

Jefferson Nickels. A great set to collect and not super expensive. There are enough coins that getting the whole set in same grade will take a good bit of time so you will be well occupied with it.

I too have a limited budget, the most I've ever spent on one coin was $45. I have almost complete Lincoln set 1930-date. Just missing 1970 SD and the SD 1960's.
I also am working on a dansco 7070 type set, and that has been extremely fun to work on. I can just buy whatever type of coin I feel like, and have a handy space in an album to store it.
I know you have decided on Franklin halves, which are a great choice, but I'm always more fond of type sets.
