I started and finished my set last year, and it took around 8 months. My set isn't nearly as nice as cc99999's, but I thank you guys for the positive comments on my set. I am very proud of it. As I said previously, my next endeavor is to start adding varieties to my collectin- starting with the 1971-D "Friendly Eagle". Man, I can't wait for that Ike book to come out this summer!
