What Is/Was Your Favorite Set To Complete And Why?

Not really a set, but I completed the 1858 12 piece small cent pattern set recently. It's actually 11 patterns plus the proof 1858 small letter Flying Eagle cent. All are photosealed and most CACed. Grades range from P63 to PF66 with 3 Cameo graded coins. It's cool knowing the mint only made about 100 of these sets in 1858. The 1858 SL proof is in PF64+ and is the rare high leaves variety.

I did complete an MS Indian cent collection but sold it years ago via Rick Snow.

Fascinating concept, reading what many of us said two years ago, and now having an opportunity two years later to provide updates.

Two years ago, I indicated my Dansco 7070 Registry Set (shown in my "signature") was, and still is, my favorite. But now, a newer set completed in late 2022 is tied with that set as my favorite. That set is my "unique" Indian Head cent set.

When putting that set together, my goal was to put together a high grade set where EVERY coin merited BOTH a CAC sticker, AND Rick Snow's Eagle Eye Photo Seal. According to Rick Snow, no one has ever accomplished that, and I believe no one else has accomplished that since I did late last year. Yes, there's a lot of redundancy having both stickers on a coin, but I learned that CAC and Rick Snow each weight various important factors differently from each other. As such, having both stickers on each coin, in my opinion is having the best of both worlds.

Here's a hotlink to that set. If you click on the hotlink, and then click on a photo, you can then see at least three photos of each coin, including the obverse slab shot showing both stickers:

I like to look at different designs and not the same obverse and reverse of series collecting.

The coin collection I inherited from my Father-in-law has quite a variety of coins, none of which seem to be complete sets. I'm enjoying them just the same. But the software engineer in me finds the holes more than annoying. So I'm working on completing some.

The first set I completed was the 1999-2008 State Quarters mint sets. I had to fill in 6 missing sets, none of which are in sequence.

I've 8 Morgan dollars: 4 New Orleans, 3 Philly, 1 Denver. I'm looking to complete a New Orleans date set. Not sure if I'll attack the Philly set after that or sell/trade them.

My collection also includes 6 Eisenhower dollars: 2 '71', 2 '72, 1 '76, 1 '78. I'll likely work on it some.

And I also have 33 ASE's (1986-2017 proofs or uncirculated) with many missing years. Not to mention a pile of Kennedy half dollars.

A lot to work on. Thank goodness I'm retired!

Excellent!
