Still working on my Library of Coins Vol 33-34 type set. Not too concerned with series collecting as I see no point to paying oogles of money to get a highly-counterfeited coin whose metal was struck slightly differently. I just like the designs.

I hope to finish my first complete set of Jefferson nickels. I'm still looking for a proof 1940 and a proof 1942p.  |

I surely won't finish this year or ever, but I'll continue on with Connecticut coppers. I am at 36 varieties, I'd like to add a couple more this year.

Just have to finish my all FSB Mercury dime album. Only 5 more to go. Oddly enough, none are the supposed to be hard ones to find. |

Start? Probably none. Finish? Still probably none.  I do hope to get my 7070 down to three empty holes or less.  |

I'm with Celticsoul, those early dollar coins are a bit pricey and that's what I have left in my 7070. I started a Barber Half set before Christmas and finding it fun. Kind of hard to find any of them with a full liberty that doesn't cost an arm and a leg though. I dropped my standards a little to make it a little easier to finish.

I don't have any plans to start a new set. I'm going to try to finish a couple of easy ones. I've got a bunch of BU Presidential dollars to fill and 12 more Silver Proof Sets. I'm trudging along on a tough hill to climb with my American Silver Eagle PCGS Proofs in PR70. It's probably going to take me another 3-4 years and I'll never get the '95W. I got all of the PR70 slabs from the 80's and 2000's. Now the hard (expensive) part begins... finishing the 1990's. At the same time, I'm two coins short of a full set of VG to BU Mercury dimes. I'm missing the two most expensive ones... '16D and '21P. |

No worries, T-BOP. All of my bust halves are certified and graded PCGS and NGC original surface coins, about 1/3 of them are "green beans"...CAC certified. No "genuines" in the bunch so far and each one is a distinct Overton, no repeats. 96 in all...so far. No 1815 yet, I have not found an affordable one that I like.

Me, too, Jason. I'm finding it slow going and a lot of work to hunt down uncirculated rosies for the first album page.
I'm beginning to wish I had bought a completed set of BU and Proofs already in a new Dansco from the many online dealers that offer them.
I hope we aren't bidding against each other and making this more expen$ive than it needs to be.
Good luck!
