sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 09/12/2017 11:23 pm Start another set that would be impossible to complete. That is how I started into ancient coins. That was nearly 40 years ago. Report this Post to the Staff
luvmyCAM Pillar of the Community United States 1479 Posts	Posted 09/13/2017 12:53 am The bold feathered sacagawea? Right On! Ya, if your going to lust over a coin that would be a good one to desire. Throw in the speared eagle variety and the rest are a cinch. Don't give up, I took a roofing job for 3 weeks at $10.00 an hour so I could buy a 1992 D Close AM cent. At my age it about killed me but I got that little rascal. I take great pride in not the value of the coin is but what I did to seek, save, and clinch one at an affordable price. Think about it, when one comes up for auction and you have saved 4-5 G's the hard way (2-3 hundred a month) you will have the ability to go for one. Your goal is reasonable if you take one step at a time. Then there's the next one! Report this Post to the Staff
coincollector123 Pillar of the Community United States 850 Posts	Posted 09/14/2017 10:14 pm Yeah the Wounded Eagle is a lovely variety and check your change and all. You never know what you might find. I was looking at an auction site and went to view the coins and I saw a Wounded Eagle Dollar coin in the mix of dollar coins and bought it (it was in a roll) for $35. Research and keep looking Report this Post to the Staff

ljenkins990 Valued Member United States 406 Posts	Posted 11/09/2017 6:15 pm I've pretty much just accepted the fact that there are certain holes in my Danscos that will never be filled. If I get feeling bad looking at them, I just pull out one of my filled albums and go through those until I feel better. I think I am slowly changing my enthusiasm towards type-set collecting as opposed to complete sets, but that's just me. Report this Post to the Staff

I have not given up on those last holes, but I also look through my filled albums to make myself feel better.

USSID18 Pillar of the Community 5464 Posts	Posted 11/11/2017 10:43 am Join the crowd nfine. I'm in the same boat, don't feel bad. Whatever you have your heart set on to collect and complete, stick with it. With that said, I have tried to stay away from series/sets that I know will get me in trouble (difficult to complete/most are) towards the end. Right now I'm just trying to stay focused on completing a Washington quarter Dansco set. I only need two more. I drove down to the Whitman show in Baltimore on Thursday just to see what's out there, available and prices. I'm not ready to pull the trigger. Between you and me, I should have just saved the gas, toll and parking money and put it towards those last two coins! Edited by USSID18 11/11/2017 9:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff
