The last few months I've been saving for either a certified 1880CC or 1885CC GSA a local dealer has. (haven't decided which yet). I also tend to save awhile for any upcoming show.
Typically, I have a series list I go by. That is, I prefer certain series over others and will buy them first. If those aren't available, I go down the list till I find a coin that fits my tastes/price range. I don't usually go looking for any particular coin or date. I've found that if you tend to look for certain coins/dates, you will typically settle for what's available rather than what you'd like to have for your collection. I've bought duplicate dates instead of a sub par coin of a date I need for a set. I guess completing a set is less important to me than the quality of the coins I have in those sets.
