The designs are nice but it's that pride of holding my entire countries history and being able to show others and tell the stories of how and why coins come to be and why they come to pass. That's why I do it. The coins are just coins but you put them altogether in one place with the story.... now you got something :-D. JMHO. I really like that, so I'm quoting it. As far as a "date set", don't get caught up in whether it's just a series or every coin ever. Tackle each individual series at a time (say, Kennedy halves). That leads to tackling complete denominations (all U.S. half dollars). That leads to completing a date/denomination set of all U.S. coinage. It has to be approached one coin at a time and worrying about every coin ever all at once is unnecessary and counterproductive. There are specific coins, like the 1913 Liberty nickel, that are so rare and cost prohibitive that they should be excluded. Maybe a better term for a more obtainable complete date set should include "Circulating". I think that makes the task more achievable.

Even then unless you get rid of the 170ss, and early 1800s it would be out of reach financially for most of us and those coins did circulate. A mostly complete set is doable, but the show stoppers stop most people Report this Post to the Staff
