Easiest Coin Series To Collect?

I agree, jbuck. I'm very happy with my Franklin sets.
I have all years sets of other coins but my Franklin sets are the only ones I have with all years and all mint marks.

Unless I'm mistaken, jbuck. this is what I'm going by.

1948 thru 1963
San Francisco mint - 1949, 1951, 1952, 1953, 1954
Denver mint - All years except 1955 and 1956
no mint mark (Philadelphia Mint) - All years

Roosevelt dimes.

Besides the 1996 w and 2009 dated coins there are no key dates or low mintages.

I agree. The Franklin halves are a nice set to complete very easily. It does cost money with the price of silver but it's rewarding when you finish because they are half dollars. It was the first dansco album I completed, even before Roosevelt dimes and Jefferson nickels.

What's the 1996 w dime?

Roosies '46 to date are pretty easy and inexpensive. It's a massive set that will take some time so in this sense it isn't "easy' but finding the coins otherwise is easy and you can easily picked them up twenty or thirty at a time at first.

If the set is too easy I strongly recommend that you search for Gems which are usually available at little or no extra cost. Just shop around a little and look for coins with nice solid strikes from new dies and minimal marking. Even the silver issues can be a little tough like this and many of the clads are much tougher. Many people complete the set and then upgrade one coin at a time. Post-1967 issues are more easily found as Gem in the mint sets.

There are several rarities that can be included if you like such as the No-S and No-P dimes. If you like varieties I'd suggest looking at the '68 DDO (neat coin), '69-D/D, and the '71-D/D. There are several minor varieties as well including SMS and Proof issues. The dimes have something for everyone and you can tailor make your set to suit your own interests. A circulated date set could be done for $50 and would keep you busy for days.

If you really want "easy" there are wholesalers who will sell you complete BU sets of coins for as little $75. I've seen War Nickel sets for $20 assembled. BU is more.

The Jefferson nickels.

Besides the 1950 d and 2009 p and d which are easy and relatively cheap to get and possibly the 2024 p and d (if they are indeed a modern key date which are still somewhat easy and cheap to get) the rest are easy to get.

Heck even the War Nickels aka silver nickers from 1942-1945 are easy and inexpensive to get.

I've come to collect most of my coins from bank rolls, and sets that are fairly easily obtainable.

I have two different sets of Jeffersons, an in progress set of Buffalo & Liberty nickels, and currently working on a Lincoln Cent series from 1909-2009, plus the shield cents.
