Next Collection?

So after I had assembled several sets by just grabbing "hole fillers" I decided to do my Washington quarter set the right high -- all high grade coins, start with the key dates to set the standard for the rest of the set. It has been a bigger challenge than I expected, but also very rewarding! I have only 1 coin left, and when you are working in high grade, funny things happen in the price guide. I was surprised that the 32-D and 32-S were not the most expensive coins in the set. Several times I hit a wall and had money for the coins I wanted, but could not find them anywhere!

But I digress. Walking Liberties are a great looking coin, but a tough set to assemble in quality. You might start with a short set there. I think everyone needs a herd of Buffalo nickels, and I enjoyed tracking down a complete set of proof Jefferson nickels. And of course, classic commems!

MS Washington quarters

Im working on a wash quarters pds +proofs down to 27 to go the key dates will be last

Not sure if this is cheating or will give you an idea of cost but this set sold a couple of days ago on the bay.

The seller also has solid rolls of BU 1940's Walkers and Franklins

Washington quarters have bee quite fun for me. I would do that set.

Personally I've switched over to Commemoratives about two years ago. I've been collecting them for many years as I was building my mint and proof set collection which I have completed (Premier Sets have the commemoratives). So as I said the last couple of years I started with slabbed PCGS/NGC MS/PF 69/70 modern commemoratives. I also have a collection of Classic commemoratives mostly MS64-66 of which I would think would be more to your interest and would be quite challenging to complete.

I do enjoy Walking Liberty halves but never expect to complete my set in XF or better but I try. As mentioned the commemorative series of early commemoratives are also great sets to behold but can take a lifetime to assemble. You may want to look at the modern commemorative dollars, a large set but mostly attainable in proofs. additionally a classic type set such as the dansco 7070 is a great for variety and history. Lastly as an addition to your Franklin set you may want to add the 14 proofs as a great finish to your set.
