SilverTracker Pillar of the Community United States 589 Posts	Posted 06/04/2013 10:46 am When I got back into coins 4 months ago I didn't expect to be attracted to any particular coin(s) never mind sets or subsets. I just wanted to let my eye lead me. For the most part my eye has lead me but down the path of sets and subsets and now the exhaustion of completing them Of course the chase is fun when bidding on E-bay for them but not when you don't win it. And then the lesson of learning self control with the spending and saving for them. Oh the joy of coin & currency collecting... John Report this Post to the Staff

SilverTracker Pillar of the Community United States 589 Posts	Posted 06/04/2013 12:30 pm Yep here is a recent example of this bug. I was making a coin birth page for my 4 children (one each). I decided on getting the mint mark S, deep cameo for each type of coin made during that year. Well did that and then I said to myself the silver dime, quarter and 1/2 dollar with S mint marks are really nice as well. So set WAS done and now I'm off to complete this.
